Green tea is known for its Antioxidant strength!!! It is produced by steaming the leaves of the tea plant Camellia Sinensis.
BOOSTING THE BENEFITS:
The flavanols in green tea are very soluble and are absorbed well by the body. Allow to brew for at least a minute for maximum release of flavonoids into the hot liquid.
HOW MUCH TO DRINK:
Just one cup of green tea can lead to a significant increase in antioxidant activity in the blood.
[P.S. : Four to five cups may give optimal benefits.]
VITAL BENEFITS:
Epicatechin flavanols, the main phytochemicals in green tea, have been shown to have antioxidant, antithrombotic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-cancer, and immune system regulating effects.
ROLE:
HEART DISEASE: Drinking green tea regularly may significantly lower cholesterol levels. This may be explained partly by flavanols’ ability to inhabit cholesterol absorption into the body.
CANCER: A study indicated a link between drinking green tea and a reduced incidence of cancer of the oesophagus and stomach. Another study found that drinking green tea inhibited the development of blood vessels needed to support the growth of cancerous tumours.
TOOTH DECAY: Flavanols may protect against tooth decay by inhibiting the bacterial activities that lead to a built-up of plaque.
