Benefits of Green Tea:
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.
Green tea helps regulate glucose levels slowing the rise of blood sugar after eating. This can prevent high sugar spikes and resulting fat storage.
Green tea reduces bad cholesterol in the blood and improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol. Regular consumption of green tea is thought to reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in tea leaves. It is this substance that is thought to provide a relaxing and tranquilizing effect and be a great benefit to tea drinkers.
Green tea can also help with wrinkles and the signs of aging, This is because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Both animal and human studies have demonstrated that green tea applied topically can reduce sun damage.
Green Tea contains virtually zero calories and zero sugar and tastes great drunk by itself or with a tea spoon of honey. Have a cup before bed to help you sleep and improve overall digestion.
