Firstly, green tea shares all the health benefits that are thought to come from black tea, except in a more effective form, as the tea is fresher.
Tea can help reduce your chances of getting heart disease by up to half, as well as fight dental plaque and cavities (although it will also stain your teeth if you don’t make sure to drink plenty of water and brush regularly, so watch out).
Drinking tea also burns more calories. Green tea has been mooted as a cure for cancer, Alzheimer, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, heart disease and cardiovascular disease.
The antioxidant part of green tea has been shown to efficiently scavenge the toxin in human body. Green tea’s antioxidant activity is particularly important for preventing lipid peroxidation which often plays a key role in the build up of atherosclerosis plaque.
Tea drinking also protects the blood vessels that feed the heart and brain; men who have the highest intakes of polyphenols from tea and other foods have almost 75 percent fewer stokes than men with low intakes.
Green tea is good for the digestive system. It helps the drinker to think clearly and even improves the eyesight. Green tea strengthens arteries and reduces excess fats in the bloods.
The tannins in green tea can stop diarrhea.
