I’m pretty sure that every Jamaican had a mother or grandmother who insisted that they drank tea every morning. Believe it or not the benefits of drinking tea are quite vast. And what, if you had to choose, would be the best tea you could drink? Green tea. Hands down. Asian cultures have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times. Only recently however, have its medicinal properties been investigated scientifically. And below are 5 scientific reasons everyone should start drinking more green tea, 3-4 cups a day to be exact!
HEART DISEASE: Scientists think green tea works on the lining of blood vessels, helping keep them stay relaxed and better able to withstand changes in blood pressure. It may also protect against the formation of clots, which are the primary cause of heart attacks.
CANCER: It can reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, but it is also widely thought to kill cancer cells in general without damaging the healthy tissue around them.
ANTI AGING: EGCG appears to be 200 times more powerful than vitamin E at destroying skin-damaging free radicals. Free radicals react with healthy cells in the body, causing damage so lessening their numbers may help reduce wrinkling and other signs of aging.
WEIGHT LOSS: Green tea increases the metabolism. The polyphenol found in green tea works to intensify levels of fat oxidation and the rate at which your body turns food into calories which could lead to weight loss.
