Green tea is rich in antioxidants. Drinking 3-4 cups of green tea might
do more good than previously beleived. Researchers offer even more
reasons to make time for this age-old beverage. Green tea is less
processed than black tea and contains a higher concentration
antioxidants, which protect the body’s cells from damage. The
antioxidants in green tea have been linked to cancer prevention,
decreased risk of stroke, heart disease, and lower blood cholesterol.
The group of polyphenols known as catechins, are the main
component in green tea and is present in higher amounts than in grape
juice and red wine, which are also believed to reduce the rate of heart
disease. Recent research suggests that antioxidants in green tea play
a role in reducing the negative effects of bad cholesterol, lowering
triglyceride levels and increasing the production of good cholesterol.
They have also been shown to inhibit excessive blood clotting which
may help against heart disease and stroke. Evidence has suggested
that green tea plays a role in prevention of age-related and brain
degeneration diseases, such as Parkinson and Alzheimer’s. Its
antioxidant properties are thought to reduce free radical damage and
the breakdown of neurotransmitters. While there is plenty of new and
exciting evidence about the health benefits of green tea, it’s still
important to eat a well-balanced diet that includes other rich sources of
antioxidants, like fruits and vegetables.
