How can Green Tea be help to you?

In recent time, green tea has become a popular substance to improve and benefit one's health. Green tea contains the following; Tannins, Catechins, Flavonoids, and Theanine.

-Tannins are a group of complex compounds that contain phenol, polyphenol, and flavonoid compounds. Basically, tannins aid in disgestion.

-Catechins are considered to be a group of polyphenols. Catechins serves as a powerful anti-oxidant to aid in free radical damage usually after intense workouts.

-Flavonoids are plant pigments and are usually found within fresh fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids decrease the risk of infections or getting sick. Sometimes one can bruise easily due to flavonoid deficiency.

-Theanine is an amino acid that helps keeps the brain at a tranquilizing effect. This effect helps one keep good mental focus and motivation, while leaving a user at a peaceful state.

It's been observed that green tea can be beneficial to anyone in numerous ways. Green tea can help prevent certain cancers. Studies conducted on animals indicated that the polyphenols that acts as anti-oxidants may be responsible for killing cancer cells.

Green tea is capable of improving the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol. Studies have shown that users who drink green tea are found to have lower LDL cholesterol levels and higher HDL cholesterol levels.

Green tea helps regulate blood sugar. In certain studies, polyphenols in green tea help controlled type 1 diabetes. With type 1 diabetes, the body usually stops producing insulin...So in turn, green tea can be helpful in regulating levels of glucose in the human body.

Drinking green tea may also help prevent certain liver diseases.

Research also shows that supplementing with green tea is capable of raising your resting metabolic rate by up to 3%. This helps for anyone that is currently cutting.

Conclusively....Green tea can be very beneficial to one's health, but then again people who have certain medical conditions should try to avoid this. People who have heart problems, stomach ulcers, or any psychological disorder should not consume green tea. It's also recommended that pregnant women should avoid green tea also. And if you are currently taking any medication, you should first contact your local physician until further notice.

Green tea acts as an antioxidant and thus its consumption can release all the toxins from your body. A recent study showed that every day for three months those who drank a bottle of tea fortified with green tea lost more body fat than those who drank regular oolong tea.
