The health benefits of green tea
1. Green tea is known as one of the healthiest
drinks in the world. It was discovered in Ancient China in the year 2737 B.C. Drinking
this every day has some powerful health benefits for the human body.
2. Green tea leaves are taken from the plant
known as Cammelia sinesis. These can be used fresh or dried and are steeped in hot water
to make a herbal tea.
3. Many people use green tea for acne and as a powerful skin healer. Green tea leaves
release polyphenols into the water which are anti-inflammatory. You can also apply cold
green tea to the skin with a cotton ball to quickly dry out pimples and spots.
4. If you are trying to lose weight then it
is recommended to drink herbal teas regularly. Green tea contains antioxidants such as (EGCG)
which help the body to balance its blood sugars and tap into your own fat reserves for energy.
Green tea also has small amounts of caffeine which can boost the metabolism and activate
a higher rate of fat burning.
5. You can also purchase a concentrated form of green tea which is called Matcha Tea. This

body.
6. If you suffer with a lack of mental focus or find yourself feeling drained often, then
drinking green tea can help. Green tea contains small subtle amounts of caffeine. This compound

better and get rid of brain fog naturally.
7. The drink contains a vast amount of phytochemicals such as polyphenols and flavonoids which help
to fight disease at the cellular level. Many people drink green tea to help their body
in fighting cancer or radiation sickness.
8. As we get older, dangerous free radicals can cause damage to the body. If left unchecked
they lead to faster aging and a higher risk of cancer, eye disorders, diabetes and many
more illnesses. The phytochemicals found in green tea destroy free radicals from the body,
helping you to stay healthy.
