Green Tea has always been an iconic health drink and for good reason. Check this out:
1. It can provide calm, sustained energy
Green Tea has both caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid. When caffeine and L-theanine combine, they have a synergistic effect that is powerful for brain function.
2. It Protects You from Cognitive Decline
Research shows how drinking green tea daily lowers the risk for cognitive impairment, while green tea extract enhances working memory.
3. Green Tea Is Good for Your Skin
The polyphenolds in green tea helps to eliminate free radicals caused by pollution and UV radiation. It can also help with DNA repair and even help prevent skin cancer.
4. It Can Help with Weight Loss
One study found that both the catechins and caffeine in green tea help support energy metabolism, which can lead to weight loss. Another found that the synergistic effect of catechins and caffeine is what drives weight loss for tea drinks.
5. Green Tea Can Protect You From Type 2 Diabetes
It may increase insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels. Plus, evidence shows that it lowers the risk for diabetes by 18%.
