Better to be deprived of food for three days, than green tea for one day
Why is Green Tea so Special and What are the Health Benefits of GreenTea?
Presence of Anti Oxidants: Green Tea is the store house of epigallocatechin gallate, an antioxidant. This antioxidant effectively protects the cells of your body and helps you get rids of malignant cells without creating any negative side effects.
Weight Loss Tool: it is proven that green tea when consumed 5 times per day on a regular basis helps you in reducing your weight by 70 calories a day.
Raises HDL and Lowers LDL : it reduces the bad cholesterol content and increases the good cholesterol count in your body.
Panacea for Blood Pressure and Type 2 Diabetes: Green tea is rich in polysaccharides and polyphenols. These antioxidants present in green tea when consumed lower your blood pressure and sugar level thereby preventing the onset of Type 2 Diabetes.
Green Tea has the power of smothering angiotensis II, a chemical that causes the choking of blood vessels within your body. This in turn keeps your body's blood pressure under control.
Relives You Of Skin Problems: Green tea is one of the natural solutions that helps you to get rid of your skin wrinkles. It has proven to be the best solution for skin acne, psoriasis, rosacea and warts.
Increases Body Immunity And Frees You From Allergies: The antiviral and anti bacterial properties of green tea prevent you from getting into contagious flu, cold and common cough.
Due to that anti bacterial property of green tea, it has proven to prevent the decay of tooth to a very great extent by killing the harmful germs that cause the decay.
Practical Solution for Retarding the Development of Arthritis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's: Green tea has the power to subdue the enzyme that ruins cartilage and thus helps you in keeping away from contracting arthritis. Alzheimer's is mainly caused due to reduction in the level of acetylcholine in the brain. Green tea defends against the reduction of acetylcholine and aids in slowing down the process of Alzheimer's contraction. Green tea protects the destruction of brain cells thereby making the probability of contracting Parkinson's to minimal levels within our body.
Why don't other teas have similar health-giving properties?
What sets green tea apart from the black tea is the way it is processed. Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the useful compound from being oxidized. By contrast, black tea leaves are made from fermented leaves, which results in the useful being converted into other compounds that are not effective.

Also worth mentioning that recently my relatives had a red eye problem (conjunctivitis). They boiled the leaves of green tea and used its water as eye drops. Believe me it was highly soothing and effective to get rid of the paid and redness.!!!
ReplyDeleteThats something new for me! This year had been full of dust storms and wild weather so far and hence brought with it loads of discomforts.....I will definitely try this!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting read, I love to sip a cup of green tea not only for it's taste but also for it's health benefits. Thank you AA for the idea of using it for eye drops, I wonder if it is gentle enough for use on a baby or small child?
