Strengthen your immune system and enhance your health by experiencing green tea benefits first discovered by the Chinese & Japanese centuries ago

Chinese and Japanese people have been drinking green tea for many centuries and have known the positive properties of this disease fighting drink for a long time. In fact, the popularity of green tea throughout the world has risen steadily and is now recognized as the second most popular beverage behind water.

Health Benefits associated with Green tea

  • lowers cholesterol
  • boosts immune system
  • lowers the risk of stroke and certain types of cancer
  • powerful antioxidant

Green tea contains catechin polyphenols which are known to be very strong free radical scavengers that are effective in the regulation of normal, healthy cellular activity. Scientists also believe that the antioxidants in green tea fights inflammation and helps prevent arthritis. The level of polyphenol oxidase, the source of green tea's antioxidant supply, is greater than that of most fruits and vegetables - even greater than the antioxidant levels found in green spinach. The powerful free radical protection provided by green tea gives it the disease fighting and anti-aging properties so desperately needed by so many that need a low cost and effective natural remedy for many of life's ailments and diseases.

Topical applications of green teas have also proven beneficial. A study published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer found that the topical application of green tea EGCG (polyphenol epigallocatechin-3 gallate) prevented skin tumors in mice exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Similar human studies have also shown EGCG to protect against ultraviolet induced cancer and inflammatory skin conditions.

Green tea offers benefits not only as a beverage that promotes health but also when applied to the skin topically. This makes green tea and green tea extracts very effective, safe, natural and enjoyable in promoting a long prosperous and healthy life.
