Health Benefits of Green Tea
5 Health Benefits of Green Tea Tea is one of the most valued and widely consumed
drinks in the world. Besides being a delicious, inexpensive beverage that has no calories,
tea has a unique set of natural chemicals that provide various therapeutic benefits.
As more research is conducted, tea, specifically black and green, demonstrates significant
antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti cavity properties.
1. Oral Health Along with the natural fluoride found in tea,
polyphenols and catechins are associated with killing bacteria that cause tooth decay, bad
breath, and gum disease-the number one cause for tooth loss. A study published this year
by the European Journal of Nutrition found that consumption of one or more cups of green
tea a day was significantly associated with decreasing the risk of tooth loss. Adding
sugar, honey, or other sweeteners to tea however, may negate these benefits.

2. Bone Health Routine tea consumption, especially for more
than 10 years, has been associated with decreasing the risk of osteoporotic fractures.
It's thought that tea helps diminish bone loss through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
activity. Additionally, tea's health-promoting properties are thought to suppress the breakdown
of bone while increasing the amount and activity of bone building cells.
3. Weight Loss. Evidence is still inconclusive in this area,
but it's thought that the catechins found in tea, specifically green tea, create thermogenesis-the
production of heat within the body which is related to burning calories.
These compounds may inhibit certain chemicals in the brain, therby prolonging thermogenesis.
In one study, participants who drank four cups of tea daily had remarkably higher fat
oxidation (by 12 percent) and burned an average of 67 additional calories a day. Drinking
at least three cups a day is recommended to raise the body's metabolic rate.
4. Cancer. Numerous research has demonstrated that tea
is beneficial in preventing cancer including prostate, pancreatic, breast, colorectal,
esophageal, bladder, lung, and stomach. The catechins found in tea prevent cell mutation,
deactivate certain carcinogens, and reduce the formation and growth of tumors. Drinking
as many as four cups a day may be necessary to reap the anti-cancer benefits.
5. Heart Health. Tea consumption is also associated with a
lower risk of heart disease and stroke. Research published by Harvard demonstrates
that people who drink at least one cup of tea daily have a 44 percent lower risk of
heart attack. Some animal studies have demonstrated that tea also lowers cholesterol levels.
