Green Tea is becoming very popular, and is often mentioned in the media as having many health benefits.
Here are 10 reasons to drink Green Tea:
1. Drinking green tea can help to lower cholesterol. Studies have found that the polyphenols found in green tea may reduce the risk of heart disease.
2. Drinking green tea is proven to be as effective as aspirin at thinning the blood and reducing the risk of blood clots called thrombosis, which can cause heart attacks and strokes.
3. Green Tea contains antioxidants which are effective in blocking the enzymes which cause bones to decay and cause arthritis. For people who already suffer from arthritis, drinking green tea regularly helps to reduce the symptoms and helps to relieve the pain. Some people drink green tea as it can help to reduce the likelihood of developing arthritis.
4. Green Tea helps to stop the growth of substances that can cause cancer. The properties contained within the antioxidants contained in green tea help to target and kill off cancerous cells but don’t affect the healthy cells.
5. Drinking green tea, taking more exercise and eating a healthier diet can help to prevent arterial sclerosis. This is a chronic condition whereby calcium deposits thicken and harden the arterial walls. This restricts the blood flow and can lead to increased blood pressure. Green tea can help to reduce the risk of this happening.
6. Green tea can help to fight the bacteria that cause common illnesses. Common colds and food poisoning can often be combated by drinking green tea. Those suffering with hepatitis C often drink green tea to help reduce the amount of iron in their livers.
7. Drinking green tea has been proven to reduce high blood pressure. As we get older, our arteries can become less flexible and can restrict the flow of blood which can lead to high blood pressure. Green tea can help prevent high blood pressure.
8. Green tea is often mentioned in the media as beneficial for those people looking to lose weight. Drinking just 4-5 cups of green tea a day will burn off around 80 calories. When combined with sensible eating and more exercise, drinking green tea can help to burn more calories than exercise alone, which will help to promote healthy weight loss.
9. Green tea can be drunk to help to prevent diabetes. It works by restricting the amount of sugar that is absorbed into the blood stream. The number of people with diabetes is increasing rapidly, as there are more people who are overweight and obese. Green tea can be beneficial for those at risk of diabetes.
10. Drinking green tea can slow down the growth of bad bacteria in the intestine. This promotes the growth of good bacteria and helps to keep the intestines functioning properly. It can also help to reduce the risk of contracting illnesses such as clostridia and E. coli.
