Water is good for you, we already know that. But what about green tea? Much has been said and written about the health benefits of green tea. But what is true? Is green tea really as healthy as they claim? The answer is: Yes and no.
It is said that green tea slowed down the aging of the skin. This would be due to the anti-oxidants that are found in green tea. Whether this is the case, is still being researched. It's known that populations who originally drink lots of green tea (at least four cups a day), look younger than populations who do not drink green tea. This difference appears to be larger for men. It's not proven that this effect is caused solely by the green tea they drink.
Drinking green tea should also stimulate weight loss. If this is the case, is also still being
Is the effect of green tea on your health exaggerated? No, certainly not. Green tea has particularly the following proven positive effects.
Green tea:
- Improves mental alertness and memory and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
- Lowers cholesterol levels in the blood.
- Reduces the risk of disease Parkison.
- Lowers blood pressure.
- Prevents cancer in the bladder, esophagus, ovaries,
- and pancreas.
- Reduces dizziness when standing up.
- Reduces the growth of troubled cervical cells.
So, enough reasons to drink green tea. It is recommended to drink a few cups a day of green tea of high quality. For an optimal effect, it is also better to let the boiling water a few minutes cool down before you pour it on the tea leaves. If the water is too hot, it may counteract the health benefits of green tea.
