Green Tea is the well-known “wonder drug” known to give its drinkers a host of health benefits.
Lowers the Risk of Cancer - Green Tea polyphenols are potent antioxidants, far more potent in suppressing free radicals than vitamins C or E.
Lowers Cholesterol - Green Tea has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels. The potent antioxidant effects of green tea inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol in the arteries. It plays a major contributory role in the formation of atherosclerosis.
Lowers Blood Pressure - Blocks the effects of angiotension-converting enzyme (ACE), an enzyme secreted by the kidneys, which is a significant cause of hypertension. By blocking the effects of ACE, blood pressure is reduced significantly, and with it, the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Prevents Tooth Decay - Tea has been shown to inhibit Streptococcus mutans, a major bacteria involved with decay. Tea also has been shown to have a positive effect in fighting gum disease.
Inhibits Viruses - Lower blood sugar levels. It can also kill certain bacterias and is effective against staph. Green tea inhibits several viruses including viral hepatitis. Green tea, via catechins and theaflavins and its gallates, have shown antibacterial properties.
