Since time immemorial, our ancestors have emphasized on tea, especially green tea, as a wonder product. In the current times, this knowledge has resurfaced and many of us have begun to inculcate consumption of green tea as a part of our daily routine. Although the mechanism of action is still not clearly documented, yet green tea is in demand as it does seem to elicit effects over a period of time, to the extent that few claim that it can even prevent some forms of cancer of the skin.
Such claims may not have been substantiated but few others have. Research has concluded that green tea has had positive effects on patients suffering from cardio-vascular diseases. Atherosclerosis, a disease which takes a long course, and blocks the vessels transmitting blood, may be controlled, if not cured entirely. Green tea controls further formation of plaques in the arteries, thereby reducing the chances of a person suffering from an attack.
Green tea is made after steaming and subsequently drying the leaves. This preserves the antioxidant properties of the leaves. These antioxidants, present in polyphenols, have remarkable properties of reversing ageing in cells. This can help in treating scars as well as in treating any sort of cellular damage thereby enhancing the appearance and life of anyone’s skin.
With such implications, green tea is really a remarkable natural product and it is essential that everyone must try and consume this for the sake of their health.
