Perhaps all of us love to drink tea having different priorities in taste, color and smell of it. There are three main kinds of tea we know – green, black, and grey. What is the difference between them? Today we’ll talk about green tea. Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols and that is fact.

Perhaps you’ve heard about antioxidants well enough, today discussion about this substance is really wide popular. Well, I just remind you that antioxidants are such substances that scavenge free radicals known as its damaging compounds in the body that alter cells, tamper with DNA (genetic material), and even cause cell death. Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins (including ultraviolet rays from the sun, radiation, cigarette smoke, and air pollution) also give rise to these damaging particles. So, such antioxidants as polyphenols contained in a green tea are able to neutralize these free radicals and may even help to prevent some of the diseases they cause.

Green tea has been extensively studied in, you know people have consumed it throughout the ages – more than 500,000 years, archeologists say. In traditional India, China, Japan, and Thailand medicine, practitioners used green tea as a stimulant, diuretic (to promote the excretion of urine), astringent (to control bleeding and help heal wounds), and to improve heart health. Other traditional uses of green tea include treating flatulence (gas), regulating body temperature and blood sugar, promoting digestion, and improving mental processes. Grean tea is included practically in every weight-loss diet as an important component supporting your organism functions and relaxing your appetite. As you see a green tea has a lot of benefits to drink it as you please.
