With hundreds of millions of people drink tea around the world, it’s one of the most consumed drink, second only to water! There are three main varieties of tea — green, black, and oolong. The difference between the teas lie in their processing.

Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals, which are 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 the birth of these damaging particles.

Many scientists believe that free radicals contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health problems, including cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants such as polyphenols in green tea can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damages they cause.

The healthful properties of green tea are largely attributed to polyphenols -chemicals with potent antioxidant properties. In fact, the antioxidant effects of polyphenols appear to be greater than vitamin C! The polyphenols in green tea also give it a somewhat bitter flavor. Green Tea seems to be a magical drug that cures or prevent a myriads of diseases.

As you can see, the health benefits of greean tea are numerous. Consuming up to 2-3 cups per day will greatly help ward off diseases. Bear in mind, though, that this will need to be accompanied by a health diet and a complete exercise regimen.
