Green Tea – 5 Amazing Health Benefits
A lot has been said about the power of green tea. The ancient Chinese had highly regarded it for its therapeutic effects on many illnesses. It worked for centuries and still does. Green tea has numerous health benefits and I have rounded up the top 5 most essential benefits that we can get from this miraculous infusion of hot water and leaves.
1. An Ideal Detox Remedy
So you are keen on staying young and healthy and nothing can make you feel older than those lines on your face. One major factor? Toxins. Toxin build-up in the body makes one vulnerable to many illnesses and, yes, aging. When there are hundreds of detox remedies out in the markets in all forms and sizes, there is no better way to detoxify than a nourishing cup of green tea to flush out unwanted toxins from your system. Polyphenols, a group of chemical substances found in green tea are a rich source of antioxidant. It helps repair cell damage and slows down the process of aging and development of diseases later in life.
2. Cancer Prevention Agent
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. As health experts work through extensive research to find cure and treatment to cancer, why wait for it to strike when you can prevent yourself from acquiring it? Drinking green tea everyday, and especially in larger quantities, helps ingests important compounds into your body that reduces the possibility of cancer cells to develop. This is a healthy call to action especially for people with unhealthy lifestyles.
3. Cholesterol Control
Cholesterol is basically saturated fat. We all know that there are two types of cholesterol: the “good” cholesterol (aka Low Density Lipoproteins) and the “bad” cholesterol (aka High Density Lipoproteins). We should only be concerned of the latter. Bad cholesterol blocks arteries and can cause heart attack. Health studies have shown that green tea polyphenols help excrete cholesterol from the body and people who drink green tea have lower bad cholesterol levels than those who do not drink at all.
4. Osteoporosis
As we get older, so do our bones and our Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is reduced. That is why some people “shrink” as they age. That is osteoporosis. While milk and taking calcium supplements are still good products to treat osteoporosis, green tea also occupies a predominant position on the list. A research at the University of Tokyo has shown that drinking green tea with considerable amount may radically increase BMD. In the study, women who drank green tea 5 or more days a week have significantly higher BMD than those who drank less than 5 days a week. So if you want to keep the height you have now, it won’t hurt to start introducing green into your diet.
5. Reduces Bad Breath
Nothing is more embarrassing than bad breath, also known as Halitosis. Bad breath is caused by bacteria in the mouth. If bad breath keeps you tongue-tied most of the time, try drinking green tea. Once again, polyphenols present in green tea have been identified to prevent the growth of these bacteria. So the next time you think you are puffing out a rotten smell, open up a packet of green tea.
There you have it. Five of the most significant benefits we can get out of drinking green tea. Knowing the health benefits of green tea gives us the empowerment to make the right choices for our health. Enjoy a good cup of green tea today and continue to live the life you love!
