Top 5 benefits of Green Tea .
Check this out to better know about Green Tea benefits.

1. It Helps With Weight Loss
   Green tea gives the metabolism a boost and it also reduces appetite a little. Tests have shown that green tea extract increases fat burning during exercise as well as giving a slight increase in energy output during the day. So it can help you lose weight, but only as part of an overall weight loss plan of healthy eating and exercise.

2. It Reduces The Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease And Stroke
   The more green tea you drink the less likely you are to die from all causes, but this is especially true of cardiovascular disease and stroke. In tests the best results were seen in those who drank 5 or more cups per day; but even just one cup per day will have a positive effect.

Green tea helps to reduce your total and LDL cholesterol levels, whilst increasing HDL slightly. It also improves blood flow and platelet function, and so helps to prevent clotting (thrombosis) from occurring, which can lead to stroke.

1. It Slows Cognitive Decline In The Elderly
   EGCG and other polyphenol antioxidants can cross the blood-brain barrier to protect the brain from free radical damage. Tests have shown that drinking just one cup per day can have a very significant effect in this area.

Regular green tea consumption may also enhance memory and learning in people of all ages.

1. It Improves Dental Health
   The catechin polyphenols in green tea have antibacterial properties, so it can help to prevent or reduce bad breath, plaque build-up and gum disease by killing the bacteria responsible for these conditions. It also increases the acid resistance of tooth enamel and helps to prevent tooth decay. And it can help to prevent food poisoning too.

2. . It May Reduce The Risk Of Certain Cancers
   EGCG appears to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and so it may reduce the risk of developing certain cancers such as prostate, liver, oesophageal and colorectal cancers. And drinking 4 – 5 cups per day may slow down the development of these cancers. However research in this area is somewhat conflicting so you should not rely on this as a way to protect against cancer.

Apart from all this, green tea also helps to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation, as well as improving skin elasticity. It helps protect against bone loss and rheumatoid arthritis. It improves immune function, and it slightly reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
