Description
Green tea has many potential health benefits, including:
Antioxidants
Green tea contains polyphenols, especially catechins, which are antioxidants that may help reduce the
risk of cardiovascular disease.
Cancer prevention
Green tea may help prevent some types of cancer, including breast, lung, prostate, stomach, and
pancreatic cancers.
Inflammation
Green tea may help reduce inflammation, which can help with inflammatory illnesses like arthritis.
Dental health
Green tea contains fluoride, which may help prevent tooth decay.
Stress resistance
Green tea may help with stress resistance and regulate stress caused by metal ions.
Neuroprotection
Green tea may help protect the brain and may be a potential agent to help with neurodegenerative
diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.
Blood sugar
Green tea may help reduce blood sugar.
Energy boost
Green tea contains caffeine, but less than a third of the amount found in coffee, so it can provide an
energy boost without keeping you awake at night.
Genital warts
A green tea extract ointment is available by prescription to treat genital warts.
Green tea is processed differently than black tea, which better preserves its antioxidants.
