Whenever a service personnel ask me what do I want to have for drink. Between coffee or tea, I would always choose the latter. But when I was a little bit younger, I always despised the taste of it whenever my mom is having a cup for herself on a lazy afternoon. But now, I am all up for it. And it is much preferable if you are having green tea. Apart from it being tasty and refreshing to the tongue, it also has a lot of health benefits. Here are the real benefits of green tea which partly made me like it even more.
The real benefits of green tea is that it can help in preventing some diseases such as cancer, health problems related to high cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and weak immune system. Green tea also helps in lowering bad cholesterol and balance in favor of the good cholesterol.
So why does green tea can help you fight all these diseases? Because it contains a good amount of antioxidants that are called catechin polyphenols. And within this group is one outstanding anto-oxidant which is called epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG. EGCG functions as the preventive agent for cancer cell formation as well ass it kills cancer cells without causing any adverse effects to the body. It also pulls down cholesterol that will help keeping the health of the heart in tact and also keeps the blood from clotting abnormally.
Last but definitely not the least, real benefit of green tea is that it helps you in losing weight and maintaining your desired weight. It makes your metabolism faster as well as it perks you up so you are energized to do some activities for the day.
