 Green Tea Benefits

Green Tea Benefits #1:

Act as antioxidants

Many experts believe antioxidants can slow down aging and prevent heart disease, strokes and cancers.

Green tea is an excellent source of antioxidants.  Catechins are powerful antioxidants found in large quantities in green tea.

Fruits such as pomegranate may contain as many or more antioxidants than green tea.

But gram for gram and dollar for dollar, none of them packs as much punch as green tea.

Green Tea Benefits #2:

Burn fat. Exercise longer

With more than 1,000 individuals being questioned for more than 10 years, a Taiwanese study provides the best evidence yet that green tea and oolong tea burn fat.With green tea, you get two in one. Its fat burning property helps you to burn fat and also to exercise longer - at the same time.

The longer you drink, the more evident the weight loss effect.

Green tea increases exercise endurance. Green tea catechins burn fat and reduce carbohydrate utilization, enabling athletes to exercise longer.

Green Tea Benefits #3:
Prolong life

One of the largest population studies ever conducted: 40,530 Japanese adults were interviewed over the course of 11 years.

Researchers found those who drink 5 or more cups of green tea a day are 16% less likely to die than those who drink less than one cup a day.

Heavy green tea drinkers are also 26% less likely to die from heart disease.

Green Tea Benefits #4:
Prevent and treat cancers

Green tea anti-cancer prowess extends beyond its antioxidant activities.

It starves off cancer cells by restricting blood vessel growth.

It wreaks havoc in abnormal cells, causing them to self-destruct.

It blocks over-production of harmful enzymes that act as catalysts to cancer growth.

From brain tumors to leukemia, from lung cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, esophageal cancer to bladder cancer, not to mention breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer, green tea cancer studies are showing positive results.

Green Tea Benefits #5:

Soothe stress. Boost brain power.

Tea contains a special compound called theanine, which has been known to stimulate alpha brain waves, calm the body, and promote relaxed awareness.

Green Tea Benefits #6:
Rejuvenate body, protect it from heart attacks and strokes

Drinking green tea helps patients recover from heart attacks and strokes. Preliminary studies suggests active green tea compound EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) speeds up the recovery process.

Green Tea Benefits #7:
Improve Heart Health

As we grow older, our arteries naturally harden.

Fats, cholesterols and blood platelets accumulate in the artery wall. When they thicken and clog up the entire artery, a heart attack or stroke occurs.

A hamsters study suggests green tea inhibits atherosclerosis, the hardening and thickening of arteries. A human equivalent dose of 3 to 4 cups a day is associated with 26% to 46% lower risk.
