The health benefits of green tea

 

• May reduce appetite

Does green tea really burn fat? Also, will drinking green tea help you get rid of even more unwanted pounds? According to research findings, consuming antioxidants found in green tea, especially catechins and EGCG, can improve metabolism and help prevent weight gain. Following some studies and analyses, the researchers discovered that a combination of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and caffeine positively influenced the processes of weight loss and weight maintenance in the case of study participants.

It can also reduce appetite and prevent fat accumulation by inhibiting angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels are formed in the body, and, at the same time, the process on which the growth of adipose tissue depends.
 

• Skin benefits

According to some studies, green tea, through its main component, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), has demonstrable anti-inflammatory properties.

This was demonstrated following a 2019 analysis on the use of green tea extract in cosmetic products. Researchers found that products containing green tea extract elicited anti-inflammatory responses when applied topically. In addition, they found out that the microcirculation in the skin improved in the affected areas.
 

• Benefits for the heart

According to a study conducted in 2006, drinking green tea can reduce mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases.

This discovery was also supported by an analysis carried out in 2016 regarding green tea and cardiovascular diseases. Nine studies involving 259,267 people were included in the analysis. According to the researchers, the consumption of green tea caused favorable results regarding the risk of cardiovascular and ischemic diseases.

Also, following separate research carried out in 2017 and 2019, it was found that the polyphenols in green tea can reduce blood pressure and inflammation in the body and can improve the function of epithelial tissue. This may help reduce the risk of heart disease in people who are overweight or obese.
 

• Green tea reduces cholesterol levels

The consumption of green tea, either in the form of a drink or in the form of a capsule, significantly reduced the level of low-density lipoproteins (or "bad" cholesterol).
 

• It may reduce the risk of stroke

Regular consumption of green tea or coffee appears to be associated with a reduced risk of stroke.

Following a study conducted by the American Heart Association (AHA), it was shown that green tea consumed daily can positively influence the risk of stroke.
 

• Benefits for patients with type 2 diabetes

Studies on the link between green tea and diabetes have given mixed results.

Some research has shown that people who drink green tea have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. After 17 controlled studies, a link between green tea consumption and reduced glucose levels was discovered.
 

• Benefits on working memory

Health experts have also discovered that people who drink green tea have a better working memory.
Following a voluntary study, it was shown that green tea could help treat cognitive problems caused by neuropsychiatric conditions, such as dementia.
