What are the benefits to drinking green tea?

• And is hot tea better than cold tea?

• Answer:

  Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant with compounds that can shield you from many harmful diseases including cancer and heart disease. It is now known that green tea improves cardiovascular health, reduces the risk of cancer and helps with weight loss. One of these compounds is EGCG, which is a substance with 25 to 100 times the antioxidant power of vitamins C and E. In fact, just one cup of green tea has more antioxidants than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries. Green Tea has been proven helpful at: Protecting joints against osteoarthritis Preventing total body inflammation Lowering your LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels Preventing excess hormone activity Shielding your body from abnormal cell growth Protecting against lung cancer Aiding weight loss Improving your metabolism Boosting your immune system Improving skin cells Destroying harmful bacteria that can poison your system Preventing tooth decay I recommend drinking quality Japanese Green Tea such as Sencha, which has a perfect balance of sweet and bitter flavours, and Gyokuro, which has a naturally sweet aftertaste and soft aroma. Hot tea is better and easier for your body to receive the health benefits of the tea.
