Green tea is known as a healthy drink, but what are the health benefits of green tea?
Green tea…
The substance EGCG inhibits the breakdown of elastin in your skin. This keeps your skin more elastic and supple.
It promotes digestion and ensures a more stable blood sugar level, making it easier to burn fats and sugars.
The substance EGCG activates the protein P53, which ensures that cells that slowly change into cancer cells are destroyed in time. Research has shown that this can slow the development of cancer.
EGCG suppresses the production of TNF-alpha, a substance that causes inflammation.
Your brain reacts to the substances in green tea. The amino acid theanine creates more alpha waves in the brain, making you calmer and more concentrated.
The drink reduces the clumping of blood vessels, which is good for blood vessels in the heart and brain. Research shows that drinking six cups of green tea a day reduces the risk of stroke by 40 percent.
