Green Tea Magic.
So, I’m sure you’ve heard that green tea is awesome. But do you even know why?
Green tea is thought to be one of the healthiest beverages in the whole entire planet.
It is loaded with antioxidants that have many health benefits, that help you improve your brain function, lose fat, protect yourself against cancer and lowering your risk of heart disease.
It is more than just a hydrating beverage. The green tea plant contains a range of healthy compounds that make it into the final drink, like polyphenols, for example, which are natural compounds that have health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and helping to fight cancer, and a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a natural antioxidant that helps prevent cell damage and provides other benefits.
These substances can reduce the formation of free radicals in the body, protecting cells and molecules from damage. These free radicals play a role in aging and many types of diseases.
In addition, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee but enough to produce an effect. It also contains L-theanine, which can work synergistically with caffeine to improve brain function, as well as other properties that help boost our metabolic rates and increase fat burning in the short term.
The bioactive compounds in green tea can have various protective effects on the brain. They may reduce the risk of dementia, a common neurodegenerative disorder in older adults. And it is said to have powerful antioxidants that may protect us against cancer.
So, there you go. These are only some of the benefits of drinking green tea.
Just make sure you’re drinking good quality ones.
