Should You Drink Green Tea

Should You Drink Green Tea

The purported health advantages of green tea have been the subject of much recent publicity. Most likely, you have as well. Have you ever questioned whether or not green tea is truly beneficial for you? Continue hanging around and making up your own mind.

Before We Begin with the Claims

As an excellent source of antioxidants,

Explain what antioxidants are. The body's cells can be damaged by "free radicals," or unstable chemicals, which are eliminated by antioxidants. Everything from skin cancer to atherosclerosis has been linked to free radical damage. Green tea is an excellent way to increase your intake of the antioxidant fighters that protect your heart by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.

In Asian populations, green tea consumption has been associated with a reduced cancer risk. Bladder, colon, esophagus, pancreatic, rectal, and stomach cancers are among those that have been analyzed and documented. Green tea's potential to stave off prostate cancer has just been bolstered by new research.

As for arthritis, studies have shown that green tea may have anti-inflammatory and arthritis-preventing properties, but I'll concede that hard data on this is hard to come by. From a purely suggestive standpoint, I have to give green tea an A for its efforts in the fight against arthritis.

By boosting the immune system, green tea helps prevent damage to the liver. Green tea's antioxidant properties make it an excellent liver protector against harmful substances like nicotine and ethanol.

Green tea may be beneficial to your teeth because of its protective properties (although scientific proof is difficult to come by here, too). Many people believe that drinking green tea can help prevent tooth decay by killing off the bacteria that cause cavities.

Weight reduction is another perk that may make people scratch their heads. There were reports that drinking green tea could aid in weight loss, and I looked into it. Yes! Polyphenols, which are found in green tea, are molecules that aid in fat burning and insulin regulation.

That's the Bad News

When might we expect to hear the awful news?

One of the few reported drawbacks is sleeplessness in some people who drink green tea because of its naturally occurring caffeine content. The amount of caffeine in a cup of tea is relatively low, at approximately 30–60 mg. That's 45 mg of caffeine, which is less than half of what you'd get from an 8-ounce cup of coffee (90 mg).

In General, Regarding Green Tea:

The question is, how much green tea should one drink to get the positive effects?

No one seems to have a firm grasp on this issue, either. The vast majority of people are probably fine with drinking three to four cups of green tea per day.This is a good round number and one that I came up with based on its frequency in the research studied. Here's a thought: swap out your morning coffee for a healthy dose of something else.

Do you know where I can get a nice cup of tea?

You can find my preferred brand, Lipton, in any supermarket. There are other brands out there, but I appreciate Lipton's efforts to add some excitement to the green tea category. The orange, passionfruit, and jasmine flavors are quite tasty.

The benefits can be had even if tea drinking isn't your thing. Capsules of green tea are now also easily accessible. The nearest pharmacy might have what you need. Do some exploring.

In conclusion, this researcher thinks you should give green tea serious thought. The simple speculation of benefits is enough to get excited about it. It’s easy to digest, tastes good, and, hey, if it helps me with my goal of wellness and illness prevention, I’ll take ample tea time any day!
