Hi guys it's Chitresh from Health Urgency.
This day's article is going to be all about the health benefits of green tea. I've seen some overblown claims so we're gonna parse through and figure out what's one also stay tuned at the end of the article to get tips on how to make the healthiest cup of tea possible. Tea is one of those rare beverages that's pretty much universally accepted by science as a healthy one, but just remember as with everything in life you can have too much of a good thing so don't overdo with the green tea.
Green tea is so good for you is that it's loaded with healthy nutrients, all of these bioactive polyphenols are awesome for your health you may have heard of some of them known as flavonoids or catechins and what those are just antioxidant what antioxidants do is prevent free radical damage to your body and free radical damage to your body over time causes cancer, but let me break that down a bit I know all of you have faucets at home whether it's in your bathroom or in your kitchen some of those faucets have rust on them the rust is a direct result of that free radical damage. We always talk about how antioxidants prevent that rust from forming so think of antioxidants as rust prevention within our own bodies within media, it's been mentioned before that those who drink green tea have lower rates of cancer and it's been theorized that it has something to do with the huge amount of antioxidants found within green tea. We have to not get too excited by this fact because this is only a correlation and not causation yes it's good to drink green tea but no it's not going to cure and prevent all types of cancer.
2. Green Tea Is Great For The Mouth:
About green tea if you got a stinky breath maybe you should try some green tea but that's none of my business the nutrients within green tea that we just mentioned on this last point known as catechins do a great job of inhibiting and killing certain types of bacteria. In fact studies were done and proved that bacteria known to cause bad breath within your mouth were killed by drinking green tea also when you have less of that specific bacteria you have less plaque so green tea also decreases the risk of developing a cabin.
3. Green Tea Is Great For Focus:
About green tea, it does a great job of giving you stable energy without all the jitters it has about 30 to 50 milligrams of caffeine which is roughly half a cup of coffee you're still focused you're still stimulated but you don't have that jittery feeling that you get with a big cup of coffee another nutrient within green tea that works together with caffeine to boost your brain function is called Elfi and its benefit is that it gives your brain relaxation without the added sedation or drowsiness that come along with other relaxing agents.
4. Green Tea Is Good For Your Heart:
While we've seen an animal and lab models that it increases your good cholesterol and lowers your bad cholesterol what we found in the animal lab and human trials are that green tea lowers your blood pressure.
5. Green Tea Can Help You Burn Fat:
Green tea can help you burn fat well maybe this is more of an individual case-by-case basis thing because not all studies agree on this but there is a promise of increased metabolism and fat oxidation essentially fat-burning some of the lab models have shown a decrease in new blood vessel formation within your fat stores meaning that it literally takes away the vital nutrition for your fat and makes it die kicking that fast.
6. Green Tea Can Protect Your Brain:
Animal and lab models both show that catechins the nutrient we keep mentioning over and over again decrease the risk of you developing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease science isn't clear on why this occurs, but it's theorized that I had something to do with the decrease in the development of plaque within the brain if that doesn't encourage you to take a sip I don't know what will.
7. Green Tea May Increases The Lifespan:
Now this is the game changer this is the one that everyone gets excited about green tea may increase your lifespan there's been a ton of research done on this some studies even have 40,000 participants that show those who drink three to five cups of tea a day have an increased lifespan have a decreased all-cause mortality that means dying from anything have decreases and heart disease decreases in strokes but before we get too excited we need to remember correlation versus causation just because those who drink green tea live longer, it doesn't mean green tea's the sole thing that's responsible for that effect
How To Make The Healthiest Cup Of Tea Possible
- So yes enjoy your green tea but don't think you're gonna live forever here's how you create that healthiest cup of tea possible don't add green tea directly to boiling water as it destroys those healthy catechins. We've been talking about don't go decaf because the decaffeination process hurts more of the nutrients found within green tea add lemon into your tea as it aids in the absorption of some of these nutrients finally don't cheaply outgo for the good premium stuff as it contains more of the healthy nutrients. We've been talking about all along I need you to notice don't buy into the BS supplements that take green tea extract and claim that it has miracle health benefits they do not the real thing is always healthier than the supplement form as always.
