The Health Benefits of Green Tea

The Health Benefits of Green Tea were discovered over 4,000 years ago in the Orient and since then has become the number one drink in the world.
Green tea’s health secret lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.

Green tea is rich in polyphenols. Polyphenols are considered the most effective of the all antioxidants and the amounts and effects are far higher in high quality green tea compared pills, supplements and other teas.
Consuming green tea is said to lower the levels of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, thereby reducing platelet aggregation, and helping keep blood pressure in check.

Scientific research in both Asia and the West is providing solid evidence of the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. In 1994, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol. It has also been shown to inhibit the abnormal formation of blood clots.

There is a lot of scientific evidence out there, but I think the proof is in the results and I can wholeheartedly stand behind the weight loss and health benefits of green tea.
