You’ve probably heard a lot about the health benefits of drinking tea often, but what about green tea? In Japan, drinking green tea daily is essential. According to many studies, green tea reduces the risk of developing heart disease or Alzheimer, helps you maintain bone mineral density, prevent strokes and extend lives.
What is Green Tea?
Green, black and oolong teas come from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Green tea contains the leaves that haven’t been fermented so they contain the highest level of antioxidants.
Green Tea contains a small amount of caffeine but its consumption has still been associated with more health benefits than most of the healthiest foods available in the world. This is making green tea a powerful superfood.
Drinking Green Tea May:
– Reduce the risk of heart disease
– Lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels
– May reduce appetite
– Protect the brain
– Help prevent diabetes
– Improve bone density
– Improve memory
– Prevents eye disease
– Prevent cancer
You can brew green tea or you can just buy it ready and add it to boiling water. You can also combine green tea with many different herbs such as rosemary, ginger, mint or wild sage for an extra antioxidant boost. Adding lemon juice or honey will add a refreshing and yummy taste.
