hey wellness warriors green tea will boost your brain function burn fat and lower your risk of
cancer sounds really good right you'll definitely want to hear about all the amazing benefits that
green tea has to offer you green tea contains a wide range of healthy compounds that have been
scientifically proven to offer some great benefits a few of these compounds are polyphenols catechins
and a very powerful one is called ecgc now there's no doubt that every one of us can benefit from
green tea well why can we benefit from green tea these powerful compounds in green tea have been
research tested to treat diseases support healthy insulin activity and also reduce free radicals and
lastly protect our cells from molecular damage green tea is inexpensive it makes up a delicious
beverage that most people really enjoy and also you can consume it daily or you can even take it
in a supplement form for maximum benefit and i'll discuss in just a moment the difference between
supplementing with green tea and drinking green tea and which one has the most advantage to your
overall health now i personally think green tea is highly underrated and you would benefit greatly
from all these amazing benefits it has to offer so let's dive into the first major benefit of
green tea and this is one that nobody is talking about in fact i bet that this is the first time
you will hear this green tea contains a compound called ecgc and it is a great ionophore better
than quercetin so let me just help you understand this a little bit better so i'm not speaking over
anybody's head many people are taking zinc due to its ability to kill viruses the problem with zinc
is that it cannot enter the cell efficiently which ultimately makes it not as effective so
many people are turning to supplementation with quercetin as a way to get zinc into the cell
now the fact is is that you could actually use green tea as a way of transporting zinc inside the
cell using it ultimately as an ionophore because it actually works way better than quercetin
according to the research so this is the first you've probably heard that and now you know more
than most when it comes to how to get zinc inside the cell so that you can avoid viral activity in
the body now let's move on to the next benefit that you'll certainly love about green tea and
it's the fat burning ability that it offers now i'd have to say when it comes to green tea
this is the most widely known benefit that people are aware of now if you tell someone
that green tea helps protect them from cancer they're like yeah who cares but when i tell you
that green tea actually can burn fat now i have your attention but green tea has been shown to
boost metabolic rates one study showed by as much as 17 it also will support fat burning
because it contains caffeine and has been shown to support balancing out insulin levels which is very
important if you want to burn fat and lose weight you can't have high blood sugar because it blocks
fat burning so if we use green tea to balance out those insulin levels that's fantastic for weight
loss now green tea is also very beneficial to your brain the catechins within green tea
have been shown to protect the neurons protecting you against neurodegenerative conditions like
alzheimer's and dementia which i just did a video on and how devastating this is to so many people
so green tea is awesome for that now green tea will also help improve cognitive performance
and brain function and this is something that everybody could really benefit from green tea has
a powerful and unique combination of caffeine and l-theanine and this is very cool now the caffeine
component can improve your mood your attention your memory and support clear thought processes
now the l-theanine component which is an amino acid is able to cross the blood-brain barrier
and it helps decrease anxiety and also the jittery feeling that you often experience when you consume
caffeine this is why green tea is an excellent source of clean energy it makes your brain feel
really good without all the negative side effects so ditch the energy drinks and turn the green tea
it's a way better option for you now you'll find around 25 to 30 milligrams of caffeine per cup of
green tea and one of the things i thought was just so cool about this is that we know that
l-theanine is really combined well with caffeine because it helps give you that smooth energy
right it helps you not get hit too hard with it to where you're getting all the jitteriness
from it but it also make sure it doesn't just drop off at the end so that you know you just
have this huge energy drop right well l-theanine is naturally found right in green tea how cool is
that nature always knows what it's doing let's go ahead and look at uh some of the next benefits but
so far from what we've covered i'm finding that benefits of green tea are really fascinating and
i really geeked out on reading this research on this stuff because green tea is truly amazing now
real quick let's talk about this though we didn't mention this yet and that's dosing now
as i mentioned earlier you can drink green tea or take it in supplement form many of the wide range
of health benefits derived from green tea are dose dependent just like everything always is and most
americans are not willing to consume the necessary five to ten cups of tea a day to gain its maximum
advantage okay so when you see all the research and everything i'm talking about today it's pretty
much based on getting a dose high enough that you'd have to consume around five to ten cups
per day now i'm not willing to do this personally and that's why if i want to get the benefits
from green tea i supplement with it and this is what i do i use a 600 milligram capsule of green
tea it contains the highly beneficial compounds in it that i mentioned earlier has 80 percent
polyphenols 60 catechins and 30 percent e g e g cg say that 10 times fast now this is equivalent
to approximately 10 cups of green tea each capsule will have around 30 to 45 milligrams of caffeine
per serving and that's really the equivalent to like a can of coke you know so somebody says oh
i gotta have a soda in the afternoon to give me an energy boost well you can get the same amount
of caffeine from taking a a supplement with green tea now coffee for instance has around 100 to 200
milligrams of caffeine in it so that's quite a bit an eight ounce cup so green tea really just has
that nice perfect boost that you could use midday in order to just feel good and have your brain
function really well now when i supplement with green tea i use it just like that i use it around
mid-afternoon or i use it before a workout and what i'll do is i'll put a link in the description
below to my favorite green tea supplement you can use code dr z and it'll give you free shipping
by the way i'm pretty proud of that because this is probably the first time on my channel that i've
worked out a deal so use code dr z for free shipping on the green tea
supplement now the next major benefit of green tea i mentioned briefly a little bit earlier
and this is the benefit it offers in improving insulin sensitivity now this is really cool too
a japanese study showed us that those who drank the most green tea had a 42 decrease chance of
developing type 2 diabetes now there was another another study it was a review of looking at
seven studies so you had a big group of people like 300 000 people were in this particular
study and what they found is an 18 reduction in risk of type 2 diabetes overall which is huge
so green tea reduces blood sugar improves insulin performance and also lowers inflammation which
in turn will make insulin more sensitive in your body now let's take a look at the next benefit now
this really comes down to um a big issue that is killing a lot of people because it's the leading
cause of death worldwide and let's see how green tea can actually offer you some support
against this crisis and this crisis that we're talking about is cardiovascular disease green tea
protects ldls from oxidation and oxidation is very important because a lot of people get all
excited when their ldls are high well that's not the biggest concern the biggest concern
is that these ldls become oxidized right which is the laying down of the cholesterol
in inflamed arteries which eventually leads to heart disease green tea drinkers had a 31
lower risk from cardiovascular disease pretty impressive right i mean just this is very simple
low hanging fruit that you can utilize in order to improve your health greatly now these benefits
of green tea are pretty amazing but we still got more for you let's take a look at the disease that
we all know and hate so much and that's cancer green tea is antioxidant rich right i mentioned
that earlier it lowers inflammation and combats oxidative stress in your body which can lead to
these inflammatory conditions that many people are facing like cancer now when you look at the
studies green tea has been shown to reduce breast cancer by 20 to 30 percent it's been shown to
decrease prostate cancer and it's also been shown to decrease colorectal cancer by 42 now i don't
know about you but green tea is really impressive you can drink it or you can supplement with it for
maximum benefit and if you supplement with it you can find a link in the description below where you
