The Top 5 Amazing Benefits of Drinking Green Tea Every Day

Are you thinking about substituting that morning and evening coffee ritual for something healthier, like green tea? Green tea started in China as a medicine, but today, green tea is one the most consumed beverages in the world. For centuries, people believed that green tea contained powerful natural properties that helped to protect people from diseases – and they were right. Hundreds of studies over the years have confirmed some of their powerful benefits, suggesting that green tea protects and promotes health and wellbeing. As one of the healthiest beverages on the planet, here are five amazing benefits that you’re going to wish you knew sooner.

#1 Green Tea Keeps Your Skin Youthful

Researchers from China have revealed that men who consume green tea on a daily basis have their cells age at a much slower rate than those who do not drink green tea. According to a study by Dr Hsu, green tea is an extremely powerful “superfood” packed with an abundance of free-radical-fighting antioxidants. While green tea has been found to be good at fighting inflammation, it has also been suggested that green tea’s rejuvenating effect could help to soothe chronic skin conditions like rosacea and psoriasis. With a ridiculous amount of antioxidants, as well as its high nutrient value, green tea has been shown to protect the skin from oxidative damage – wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging eyes. It makes skin appear brighter and younger. It’s also worth mentioning that green tea can be applied directly onto the skin.

#2 It Reduces Anxiety and Relieves Stress

Let’s face it, everyone is stressed out, and green tea can help. Studies have revealed high quantities of theanine in green tea, which is an antioxidant that helps to reduce stress, which in turn enhances sleep quality and keeps anxiety away. Also, don’t forget that even though green tea has caffeine, the high traces of amino acids and antioxidants promote a restful effect that balances the caffeine.

#3 Green Tea Promotes Weight Loss

Just when you thought that this incredible tea couldn’t get any better, you learn that it’s also highly beneficial for its weight-loss properties. Studies show that the flavonoids in green tea boost the metabolism and increase fat oxidation, enabling one to work out for much longer. In fact, green tea carries high amounts of “catechin”, known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which has the capacity to aid digestion, reduce cravings, and even burn fat. Research has shown that those who consumed green tea for a three-month period lost an average of 1,5 kg, without having to change their diets.

 #4 It Reduces the Risk of Many Degenerative Diseases

Green tea carries an enormous amount of antioxidants, such as flavonoids, as well as catechins (otherwise called polyphenols), which strengthens and boosts both cells and the immune system, minimising degenerative diseases. In fact, a recent Johns Hopkins Hospital study revealed that people who drank one cup of green tea a day had one-third less risk of heart disease, and those who drank three cups daily showed a decline in the calcium build-up in their arteries. Over the years, there have been many studies that prove green tea’s ability to shield and prevent everything from cholesterol, diabetes, and stroke, to heart disease and weight loss. And, if that’s still not enough, it also helps to preserve and build stronger bones.

#5 It Will Give You a Brighter Smile

 Okay, so we all know what happens when you don’t look after your teeth or when you inherit the bad teeth gene – you end up with bad teeth which steal your smile. But, green tea used on a daily basis can do wonders for your teeth. Studies have proved that catechin (the antioxidant polyphenol) found in green tea helps to destroy bacteria in the mouth. Green tea used on a daily basis not only reduces tooth decay and throat infections, but it also cures bad breath.

Green tea is a superfood that is beneficial for weight loss, degenerative diseases, indigestion, metabolism, and teeth. These are all benefits that cannot be ignored if you are looking for natural ways in which to improve your health. Why would anyone not want to drink green tea?
