Green tea is one of the healthiest drink choices that you can make every day. Although it’s not a magical beverage, it’s still something that is good to have on hand as an option.
Antioxidants
Green tea has a lot of antioxidants called catechins. These antioxidants help to protect against cell damage and can lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Studies have pointed to tons of other green tea benefits, like improved blood flow, heart failure prevention, and the blocking of plaque formation that is related to Alzheimer’s disease. It also helps to keep blood sugar stable, which is good news for diabetic patients.
Green tea’s antioxidants help your body to grow healthy cells, and there are some studies that suggest that it can destroy cancer cells. However, this has not been proven.
Weight Loss
Green tea is not directly tied to weight loss, because there is no one drink that will automatically result in a slim figure. However, exchanging sugary drinks like soda and juice for green tea can help you to cut back on calories. If you swap out green tea for one soda every day, you can save yourself over 50,000 calories in just one year. Keep in mind that green tea becomes less healthy if you add a lot of honey or sugar, so keep it simple. You can add lemon instead, because the vitamin C makes it easier for your body to absorb the catechins.
Relaxation
One of the chemicals found in green tea—theanine—contributes to relaxation. Even the simple act of sipping on tea can be a relaxing habit.
It’s important to remember that even if you drink green tea every day, you can still be unhealthy due to your lifestyle choices and other factors. You have to take care of yourself in ways that don’t involve the beverages that you drink, such as avoiding smoking, eating healthy, exercising, and seeing your doctor regularly.
