Used in China for at least 4000 years as a medicine, recent studies confirm that Green Tea has amazing health benefits. It is reputed to reduce the effects of arthritis, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, obesity, infection and weak immune functions. Green Tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly EGCG, a powerful antioxidant. EGCG is associated with lowering LDL cholesterol levels.
In addition Sheffield University researchers showed that Green Tea may prevent arthritis because compounds within it can block the enzyme that destroys cartilage, a major factor in the progression of osteoarthritis. Green Tea also contains high concentrations of antioxidants, which strengthen the immune system and help the body to defend itself against attacks from viruses and infection.
