Drinking green tea every day is not just a common and relaxing weather that helps to relax, but, according to experts, a way to support heart and brain health.
Tea is rich in plant compounds, anti-inflammatory and antioxidants, and has been linked by several researches to improving heart, brain and skin health.
The benefits of eating green tea daily, namely:
The potential for a reduced risk of cancer
Green tea is rich in catechins, a type of antioxidant that protects cells from damage, and these compounds help reduce the growth of cancer cells and reduce inflammation in the body.
According to the report, drinking green tea regularly helps to associate with a lower risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer.
Although more studies are needed, the inclusion of green tea in a balanced diet may contribute to cancer prevention in general.
Boosting the immune system
The polyphenols found in green tea are known to have antioxidant and inflammatory properties that support a healthy immune response.
Green tea also contains a compound known as el thianine, which enhances the activity of cells responsible for combatting infection and reducing inflammation.
Thus, green tea may help increase the body's resistance to common diseases such as colds and flu.
Possible optimisation of cognitive abilities
Regular drinking of green tea has been associated with improved brain health in adults, middle and older adults, especially with regard to memory and thinking skills.
These benefits are due to the antioxidants in it, as they help protect brain cells from oxidative stress, which is one of the main factors for ageing-related cognitive decline.
It is also reported that the compound "L-theanine" may help improve some brain functions, such as the speed of response to information and maintain attention and concentration.
Improve metabolism
The antioxidants found in green tea, especially the EGCG complex, support the body's ability to slightly burn fat and calories.
According to Health magazine, a broader review of studies showed that green tea supplements are associated with fat loss when associated with exercise, but the effect was limited.
