Health Benefits of Japanese Green Tea

Health Benefits of Japanese Green TeaGreen Tea Health Benefits
The highest-grade green teas, like those sold at this site, are not only delicious but also contain larger quantities of polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals than ordinary green teas. 

There are four primary polyphenols in green tea and they are often collectively referred to as catechins.  Catechins are powerful antioxidants that have been shown in numerous studies to fight viruses, slow aging, and have a beneficial effect on health.

Clinical tests have shown that catechins destroy free radicals and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage the body at the cellular level leaving the body susceptible to cancer, heart disease, and many other degenerative diseases.

Green tea contains more catechins and vitamins than black tea because black tea leaves are fermented.  Green tea is manufactured from fresh, unfermented tea leaves. 

Green Tea, Cholesterol Levels, and Weight Loss
Green tea antioxidants have been shown to have a direct effect on lowering cholesterol levels. Green tea also causes carbohydrates to be released slowly, preventing sharp increases in blood-insulin levels. This promotes the burning of fat. For more information on green tea and its effects on weight loss click here.
