Health Benefits
You’ve likely heard green tea is good for you, but why? Green tea and health is often associated with high levels of antioxidants, which are chemicals in your cells that help prevent cell damage. Here’s why drinking green tea gets all the promotion it deserves.
Green tea and heart health
Tea has shown promising benefits in association to heart health. Flavonoids in green tea can help prevent oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol and reduce blood clotting. Studies show green tea can also help lower blood pressure, triglycerides, and total and LDL cholesterol.
Green tea and cancer prevention
In addition to cardiovascular health, tea extracts and polyphenols have also shown promising effects in cancer research. Tea and tea components have been shown to inhibit carcinogen-induced DNA damage in a number of cell studies, as well as inhibit tumor development at different organ sites.[3]
Studies on the effects of green tea in cancer prevention have shown to have a possible impact on liver, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. These studies suggested the more cups of green tea consumed per day over a number of years continues to reduce one’s chance of these cancers.
Green tea and anti-aging benefits
The presence of polyphenols in green tea has also shown to be a wonder for the skin, as they can protect against damaging UV rays, which are linked to wrinkles, skin cancers, and dark spots. Green tea has also shown to be anti-inflammatory, which helps keep your skin clear and glowing. One study showed applying green tea topically can even alleviate skin conditions such as acne and rosecea.
Green tea and weight loss
Green tea increases the metabolism. The polyphenol found in green tea works to intensify levels of fat oxidation and the rate at which your body turns food into calories.
