I
became a fan of green tea not for its delicious taste, but for its benefits. Honestly, the real
reason I drink it is because I believe that it helps in burning fats and weight loss. But recently I decided to look into
it a bit deeper and see what these benefits of green tea are that people usually
talk of.
Why green tea???
Green tea has been used for thousands of years as a medicine,
it originated in China, but it is widely used throughout Asia. The reason that
green tea is better than black tea that black
tea processing allows for fermentation whereas green tea’s processing prevents
the fermentation process. As a result, green tea retains maximum amount of
antioxidants and poly-phenols the substances that give green tea its many benefits.
Here’s a list of Green Tea benefits that you should
know about!!!!!!
- Weight loss: it increases the metabolism.
- Diabetes: it helps regulate glucose levels slowing the rise of blood sugar after eating.
- Cholesterol: Green tea reduces bad cholesterol in the blood.
- Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s: it protects brain cells from dying and restored damaged brain cells.
- It provides a relaxing and tranquilizing effect (anti-depression)
- It can reduce the risk of esophageal cancer.
- It may also protect against the formation of clots, which are the primary cause of heart attacks.
- It helps with wrinkles and the signs of aging.
- It is effective for treating everything from influenza to cancer.

ReplyDeleteGreen tea is beneficial but the people should understand that an over dose will cause a side effects like nausea and osteoporosis. In addition, green tea contain tannins which stimulate the stomach to produce more acid. SO, people should not drink it when the stomach is empty.
