the health benifits of drinking green tea

Natural antioxidants called polyphenols in the tea help block the growth of skin cancer cells.
In fact, green tea has a whole host of other health benefits.

green tea benifits




  • It can help quicken up the metabolic rate because its antioxidant effect helps the liver to function more efficiently.
    A recent U.S. study of overweight men discovered that, with no other changes to their diet or exercise regimes, drinking green tea 3 times a day burned off 200 extra calories daily. The green tea drinkers also found that their energy levels were greatly inhanced.
  • Green tea helps to  protect against heart disease
    It has been shown to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, because its potent antioxidant effects inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol in the arteries.
    The formation of abnormal blood clots (thrombosis) is the leading cause of heart attack and strokes, and green tea has been shown to inhibit abnormal blood clot formation as effectively as aspirin.
  • Green tea can help lower blood pressure
    A major cause of hypertension (high blood pressure) is an enzyme secreted by the kidneys called angiotension- converting enzyme (ACE).
    Popular drugs for hypertension act as ACE inhibitors: by blocking the effects of ACE, blood pressure is reduced. Green tea is a natural ACE inhibitor, and several medical studies show lowered blood pressure in animals and humans given green tea extracts.
  • Green tea can help protect against diabetes
    When starch is consumed, it requires the enzyme amylase to break it down into simple sugars that can be absorbed in the bloodstream.
    Green tea polyphenols inhibit amylase, and so can help lower blood sugar levels. High blood levels of glucose and insulin predispose people to diabetes.
  • Green tea can help prevent food poisoning
    As it can kill bacteria, drinking green tea with meals may reduce the risk of bacterial food poisoning.

  • Green tea can prevent bad breath
    Drinking green tea - which is a natural anti-bacterial agent - with food may help kill the oral bacteria that cause cavities and bad breath.
