I like a strong, hot cup of jo just as much as the next one, but the coffee jitters can definitely reach you, especially when you drink as much as I do throughout the school year. I like to give my body a little break by detoxing with green tea. Although green tea has caffeine, there's not nearly as expensive in coffee. Here's why you need to give a delicious cup of green tea to the start of your day.
- Green tea lowers cholesterol
Consuming green tea has been shown to reduce total levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), commonly known as 'bad' cholesterol. By decreasing your cholesterol, you will be improving your overall heart health.
- Green tea and diabetes
Diabetes is a metabolic ailment that raises glucose (sugar) levels within the blood. The polyphenols in green tea cause vasodilation (widening) from the arteries. This then helps reduce plaque buildup and decrease blood pressure.
- Green tea as well as your eyes
Green teas are full of ascorbic acid and vitamin E. Together with these vitamins, the antioxidants in green tea extract strengthen your skills tissues.
- Green tea and mental health
Green tea has been shown to decrease feelings of depression and anxiety. Some researchers discovered that the more green tea you drink, the less depressed you'll feel.
- Green tea and skin care
Green tea increases the skin complexion and reduces inflammation. Green tea extract bags can be used to treat acne and skin disorders using its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
I hope this convinced you to definitely change your everyday caffeine dose from coffee to green tea extract. Enjoy your new morning drink!
