The Benefits of Green Tea 🍵

[mskay]

Green tea is one of my favourite beverage ever! 💙 Also, I prefer my chocolates, biscuits fillings, cakes, macarons etc to be of green tea flavour. Which is why it lead to my nickname - "matcha" (Matcha is actually a kind of tea also ahah 🙈🙉🙊).

Anyways, back to the topic. Here are a few benefits of green tea that have been confirmed in human research studies.

1. It helps weight loss

Green tea increases fat burning and improves physical performance. Besides, green tea has been shown to increase fat burning and boost the metabolic rate. However, the effect depends on the individual as well.

2. It prevents cancer

It is well known that oxidative damage contributes to the development of cancer and that antioxidants can have a protective effect. Green tea is an excellent source of powerful antioxidants, so it makes perfect sense that it could reduce your risk of cancer.

3. It can improve health

Green tea is definitely more than just green liquid. It contains various bioactive compounds that can improve one's health. And it also has small amounts of minerals that are important for health.

4. It provides good cardio health

Green tea may reduce your risk of getting cardiovascular diseases. It has been shown to lower total and LDL cholesterol, as well as protect the LDL particles from oxidation.

Of course, there is more benefits of green tea. But I just didn't mentioned it here. If you have yet to try out green tea, I'd definitely suggest you try soon. (= Japanese green tea is one of my faves, the one that got me hooked on it ahah #greentealover

Any decaf green tea recommendation that doesn't taste too terrible?

I want to try some from Singapore one
I read somewhere those are better than Japanese /China ones.

I forget what exactly it said but something about having too much aluminum and some other stuff.

[mskay]

Hmm.. the only decaf green tea brand which I usually buy is Lipton Tea or Twinings. It doesn't taste too terrible for me, maybe you could try it out? (=

[complicated_soul]

I tried Lipton twice and had to throw it out, lol.

:p

Did you try any from Yogi?

[mskay]

Hmm nope, have not tried it yet. :/ is it nice?

[Jxpxtxr]

Wow I loooove drinking green tea and I knew about the effect is has on our metabolism but all the other things were totally new to me! Guess I'm gonna have green tea even more often from now on heheh😋🍵

[mskay]

Yayyy green tea buddies ahah 🙈

Never did I knew too until I searched it up google ><

[Prof_Don]

Green tea is my favorite caffeine source. I love the earthy taste of it.

Ginger tea, hibiscus tea and lemongrass tea are also my favs. Excellent take. :)

[mskay]

Thank you (:

[dangerDoge]

If only I liked the taste of green tea, or any tea for that case. I've always been more of a milk drinker myself lol

[mskay]

Ahah why? Does tea taste that weird? 😳

[Doffydood]

Cool take! I've sort of avoided green tea because of the taste. I like peppermint myself, but I've always known that green tea was healthier. I guess I could give it another try :)

[mskay]

I drink all kinds of tea except peppermint ahah 😅

[Doffydood]

Well, each to their own I guess :)

[SpecJack]

I have always loved taking in this heavenly beverage known as green tea, specifically Matcha that is brewed in the traditional Japanese method of whisking the granules into foamy goodness! The aroma is just sublime :).

[HookingSwan]

I love a mix of green tea an jasmine infusion :)

It is lovely.

[mskay]

I love jasmine tea too 💙

[HookingSwan]

Haha 💜 I like u too 😬🙈

[MrChadeo920]

Agree, green tea is one of the most powerful natural remedies that you can put into your body.

[mskay]

Thank you (=

[zell0is0my0name]

Omg, i love green tea and I drink it a lot (almost daily) so many benefits, nice to read.
I like this take :)

[mskay]

Thank you 😊

[zell0is0my0name]

You're welcome :)

[reynavila]

Oh Chamomile is my favorite tea!! Never knew it could help insomnia

[mskay]

Yup! It's pretty effective too (=

[reynavila]

Yes couldn't agree more with it, totally effective!

[Ashely_Princess]

I've never had green tea, I've always drunk sweet tea. Is green tea good?

[mskay]

Green tea tastes quite good for me, in fact, I love it (= but for some, it tastes terrible.

[Ashely_Princess]

Cool

[OrangeBoy]

There's a thing that it's bad about green tea, and that made me drink a lot less.

It conflicts with calcium.
Reduces our capability to capture calcium for our bones for some hours after drink it.

So can affect any meal we do.

Im just saying this because woman are more vulnerable and need more calcium attention.

[KevinA]

I have never tried green tea but the benefits stated in this take is really impressive! Will have to try it out soon.

[mskay]

Hope you will love it! (=

[Genie23]

Cool take :) I love Green tea

[mskay]

Thank you (=

[PrettyRican]

Does Green Tea have caffeine in it?

[mskay]

Yes, it has, unless its decaffeinated.

[PrettyRican]

Okay because me and caffeine don't mix to well I can only have it once in a while. So I guess I have to get decaffeinated. Thank you for answering my question.

[mskay]

The best decaf green tea that I've drank is Twinings and Lipton. However, some may feel that Lipton taste terrible tho, to each their own. (=

[PrettyRican]

Thanks girly!! 💋
