 Many people know about green tea but do they know the reason why green tea is so popular? Let’s just take a look at some of green teas amazing benefits. Green tea contains a lot of bioactive compounds and nutrients like polyphenols, flavonoids, and catechins which serve as powerful antioxidants. One of the most powerful compounds in green tea is EGCG which has been studied to help treat a lot of diseases across the health spectrum which is why it is so popular in many health forums.

One of the key ingredients in green tea is caffeine which many know as a stimulant but fortunately it doesn’t have as much as coffee but just enough to get you up and moving without the jitters. It has been proven in studies that the caffeine in green tea leaves to improvements of brain function, better reaction time, elevated mood and a decent boost in memory. Other than that it has the amino acid L-theanine  which helps transport nutrients to your brain by crossing the blood brain barrier and helping with anti-anxiety effects by increasing the neurotransmitter GABA.

Not only that, but green tea aids in burning fat and increasing your physical performance as shown in studies with human controlled trials, but not in everybody. Did you know that Caffeine itself improves your physical performance while burning fat by using fatty acid from your fat tissues as energy more than anything else in your body.

The catechins in green tea help in with other biological effects also. Like killing bacteria and helping to stop or slow down viruses like influenza which significantly decreases your risk of infections. And also the catechins in green tea can help slow down the growth of a type of strep that causes plaque formation and is the leading contributor of tooth decay and cavities. Those catechins slow down the growth of this version of strep, improves your dental health, and the bonus there is better smelling breath. Who doesn’t want that right?

And if none of those reasons were good enough, here is something that might catch your attention. Green tea can help decrease your risk of dying and lowers your risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. And a human control study of Japanese adults about (40,530 participants) found that those who drank the most green tea improved their chances of not dying during an 11 year timeline (ref). And to top that off in another study of elderly Japanese individuals around the age of 65 to 84, they discovered that those who drank the most green tea decreased their chance of dying over a 6-year study period by 76%.
