Hello everyone!
It has been such a busy month for me, and at last, I am here with you again!
While I was doing some homework, at the same time I was taking a sip from my
green tea, and I decided that it would be a great topic to talk about. The
benefits of green tea. So, here we go:
Weight Loss: Green tea is very good for
your metabolism. Which is related to your weight also. The polyphenol found in
green tea works to intensify levels of fat oxidation and the rate at which your
body turns food into calories.
Diabetes: Green tea apparently helps regulate glucose levels slowing the rise of blood sugar after eating. This can prevent high insulin spikes and resulting fat storage.
Heart Disease: Scientists think, green tea
works on the lining of blood vessels, helping keep them stay relaxed and better
able to withstand changes in blood pressure. It may also protect against the
formation of clots, which cause heart attacks in human body.
Esophageal Cancer: It can reduce the risk of
esophageal cancer, but it is also widely thought to kill cancer cells in
general without damaging the healthy tissue around them.
Cholesterol: Green tea reduces bad
cholesterol in the blood and improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad
cholesterol. It creates the balance in your body.
Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s: It is said to delay the deterioration caused by Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s. Studies carried out on mice showed that green tea protected brain
cells from dying and restored damaged brain cells. It can also create the same
effect on human brain. Why not?
Tooth Decay: Studies suggests that the
chemical antioxidant “catechin” in tea can destroy bacteria and viruses that
cause throat infections, dental caries and other dental conditions. So, green
tea is also a friend of our teeth.
Blood Pressure: Regular consumption of
green tea is thought to reduce the risk of high blood pressure which increases
parallel to the age.
Depression: Theanine is an amino acid
naturally found in tea leaves. It is this substance that is thought to provide
a relaxing and tranquilizing effect and be a great benefit to tea drinkers. If
you are stressed out, drink green tea. Just like I do. J
Anti-viral and Anti-bacterial: Tea catechins are strong
antibacterial and antiviral agents which make them effective for treating
everything from influenza to cancer. In some studies green tea has been shown
to inhibit the spread of many diseases.
Skincare: Green tea can apparently also help with wrinkles and the signs of aging, This is because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Both animal and human studies have demonstrated that green tea applied topically can reduce sun damage.
TAKE CARE AND DRINK GREEN TEA!
