Tokyo: It would not be wrong to call green tea a ‘superfood’ drink as it lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol and relieves stress due to its extraordinary properties.
On the other hand, green tea also helps improve mood and increase focus on a task. According to a study, green tea also brings about genetic changes that can make longevity possible. Antioxidants, polyphenols and chlorogenic acid, on the other hand, reduce insulin resistance, reduce cellular damage and reduce internal inflammation in the body.
According to experts, there is a special type of amino acid called ‘theanine’ in green tea. Theanine is present in its leaves. It calms the whole body and especially the mind. Apart from this, it is also helpful in reducing physical anxiety and stress.
According to a 2017 study, regular consumption of green tea plays an important role in restful sleep. Experts from Japan’s University of Shizuka wrote in the journal ‘Nutrients’ after a long study that some important ingredients in green tea calm the heart and mind and play an important role in bringing deep sleep.
