Experts Reveal Multiple Health Benefits Green Tea May Potentially Offer

(Newswire.net — April 11, 2017) Orlando, FL — Green tea is believed to be one of the most therapeutic beverages nowadays. This drink contains a variety of unique ingredients that may even help to improve overall health.

Experts reveal the multiple health benefits green tea may potentially offer. For almost 5,000 years, green tea has been widely consumed around the world particularly in China and India.

The leaves from the tea plant called Camellia sinensis are where green tea is obtained from. It is less processed than black tea. The potential health-boosting properties of green tea are believed to be the source of antioxidants and other phytochemicals.

According to the Vanderbilt University’s Health Psychology Department, green tea promotes not just energy production but also weight loss. The beverage is thought to contribute to the loss of abdominal fat, which is linked with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

The journal Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews published a study that revealed that the consumption of green tea for 12 weeks led to an average weight loss of up to 7.7 pounds. It also resulted in waist size reduction of up to 1.3 inches.

This natural beverage is also found to have the potential to help fight certain diseases. If validated, this may possibly help millions of people from around the world who suffer from or are susceptible to various life-threatening conditions.

In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, green tea contains an active ingredient called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) that may offer the potential to be a part of cancer therapies.

EGCG is believed to promote early cell death in cancer cells and may potentially slow or cease a certain type of protein that promotes cancer growth and spread.

Green tea may also help to improve circulation. According to the study published in the journal Heart, green tea consumption may help to heal damaged blood vessels.

The participants of the study were all cigarette smokers. It was found that the green tea may be effective in controlling and promoting blood flow. This means that green tea may potentially enhance the ability of blood vessels to dilate.

Green tea is usually consumed as a beverage. However, it can also be taken through supplementation. Supplements are believed to contain higher levels of green tea extract which means that they may be able to offer more possible benefits.

One of the most popular green tea supplements today is contains extracts of other unique ingredients. For instance, there are resveratrol supplements that do not only contain extracts of green tea, but also other ingredients such as acai fruit, grape seed, and red wine.
