You know there's an ancient Chinese quote saying: "It is better to have tea for one day than have food for three days". This is not far from truth. Tea and especially green tea is considered one of humanity's strongest allies against various physical and mental conditions. In this article I will describe the most important benefits of green tea. If you wish for a hot cup of tea after reading the article, it means I have done a good job. Time will tell.
The fantastic benefits of green tea
I am not a scientist but it's hard to ignore all those scientific researches which prove the various health benefits of green tea. For example it's now a fact that green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells and lowers total cholesterol levels. And these are only two of the conditions in which this drink is reputed to be helpful. Here are some others: Multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer, Parkinson, Heart attacks, Thrombosis, Rheumatoid, Arthritis and more.
What makes this drink so special is the polyphenols contained in it. They are the ultimate anti-oxidant which not only stops the growth of cancer cells but it actually destroys them without harming healthy cells. Polyphenols also work wonders with heart conditions like heart attacks and strokes. The polyphenols contained are twice as powerful as the polyphenols contained in red wine. A very recent research shows that people who don't drink either tea or red wine have increased chances to suffer a stroke than people who drink red wine. People who drink green tea develop a strong defense, thus dramatically lowering the chances to suffer a stroke.
Another thing that makes this marvelous drink so unbeatable is the way it is processed before it reaches the super market or local store shelves. It's leaves are steamed in order to protect the anti-oxidants from oxidizing. This gives originality and separates green tea from all other tea types (e.g. black tea).
Are you on a diet? Then do yourself a favor and make it a habit to drink at least two cups of green tea every day. It will raise your metabolism and burn more calories and eventually lose the weight you want! It can even prevent tooth conditions from appearing because it kills the bacteria that causes dental plaque. We've seen many new products based on green tea (e.g. toothpaste, deodorants). I believe it has become a trend these days.
Apart from all those outer world benefits there is one more spiritual benefit. Green tea helps you perform breathing-meditation exercises and opens various energy channels through which you can receive positive vibes. The polyphenols contained in the drink along with a calm mind can easily put you in the flow to receive abundance. Have a nice cup of tea carefully prepared before performing the exercises. Don't rush when drinking. Try to enjoy every part of the process.
So, we've mentioned many benefits of this magical drink. You may be wondering... Are there any negative side effects? Well the only negative side effect I can think about (after studying so many researches) is insomnia, which appears in some tea drinkers. That is because green tea contains caffeine but in small quantities and it's better to drink tea than coffee which contains large caffeine quantities. You can add frequent urination as another negative side effect if you like.
