Did you know that after all the new researches; green tea is considered one of the healthiest drinks ever! You name it, and it got that amazing benefit. So, let’s go ahead and learn about some amazing reimbursements of drinking green tea.
Best relaxing ritual
We all know that a cup of tea can help you slow down and relax. If you are wondering that it’s just your Doodh Patti that can do so, you’re wrong. Green tea with its calming properties is even better. So, choose it as your sham ki chaai and relax!
Filled with antioxidants
So the deal with antioxidants is that they protect us from getting cancer. That’s because oxidative damage contributes greatly to its development. And the awesome green tea is loaded with antioxidants! According to several studies, the risk of developing breast cancer in women who drink green tea decreases by 20-30%, which is the most common cancer in women. As far as the most common cancer in men, i.e. prostate cancer is concerned; one study found that the risk of prostate cancer decreases by 40%.
Reason behind your smarty pants
While you are hovering on coffee for your daily caffeine intake, switching to green tea would be even better. And that’s because, green tea contains the required amount of caffeine, which will not only keep you awake but help you stay vigilant as well. And the jittery-ness that comes with coffee won’t even exist! But that’s not all that makes green tea so amazing. It also contains an amino acid called L-theanine which when combined with caffeine can have synergistic effects, and according to a research, when these two are combined with each other, they help in improving brain function! Voila!
Helps in burning those extra calories
I am sure this one isn’t new for you as green tea is popular as a fat burning supplement. According to several human controlled trials, green tea has been proven to boost metabolism. In another study, it was seen that it also increases fat burning by 17%. So while you are at your goal of achieving the perfect body; make green tea a part of your diet and see what an amazing difference it can make!
Improves your dental health
While you are vigorously brushing to keep those pearly whites as pearly as ever, the bacteria called streptococcus mutans are chilling in your mouth ready to make some more plaque every single day! Not just that, these bacteria also contributes to caries and tooth decay.
But, what if I tell you that the catechins in green tea have several biological effects? And amongst those, a prominent one is their antibacterial effect. According to studies, green tea can inhibit the growth of streptococcus mutans which in turn means improved dental health and a lower risk of caries.
And the moral of tea story is…
Green tea with its amazing benefits should be your go-to drink. Whether it’s your time to relax or caffeine craving has taken over, green tea is the healthiest way to achieve that! So, tell your friends and families about the benefits of green tea mentioned above and incorporate it in your daily diet.
And remember, tea can fix everything!
