There's a study was done by The Ohsaki National Health Insurance initiated in years 1994, involved 40,530 Japanese adult aged 40 to 79 years old without a history of stroke, coronary heart disease, or cancer at baseline.

Say GoodBye to Body Fat
Green Tea contains antioxidants may boost up your metabolic rate in which help you to burn fat into calories especially at your abdominal fat according to the study. Even at rest, green tea can help you burn fat. It's loaded with a potent antioxidant called catechins. In catechins, there is a substance that boosts the metabolism called EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate).
Enhance your working memory
Working memory is like a computer ram where you can hold a bunch of information in a period, manipulate and process it. It is essential for human as it represents learning, decision making, behaviour and intelligence. Green Tea improves your memory by producing new brain cell in the hippocampus, increase neuroplasticity in other parts of the brain.
Brain protection against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
Just because the antioxidants in green tea can absorb the harmful free radicals that cause damage brain cells.
Improve dental health
Catechins can destroy bacteria, destroy the virus that causes a sore throat. Green Tea contains fluoride that limits the development of bacterial plaque which helps to prevent tooth decay. Besides that, it can help to reduce bad breath too.
It helps your body fight against Cancer
According to the National Cancer Institute, the ECGC and ECG that found in green tea have substantial free radical scavenging activity and may protect cells from DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species. It also protects the body against tumour development.
Keep your Heart Healthy
Drinking green tea can prevent some dangerous diseases against your heart. The antioxidants mainly in green tea help to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and coronary artery disease.
With all these health benefits given, do you feel like drinking Green Tea now?
