How ‘green’ is the Green Tea? All benefits; No…?
Green tea, made from the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, has gained popularity for over a decade due to its numerous benefits. Originating from China’s Han Dynasty, it was primarily used for medicinal purposes. During the early Tang Dynasty, it was consumed for pleasure and was a symbol of status. Green tea is rich in antioxidants, which can help protect the body from free radical-induced cell damage, reducing the risk of long-term conditions like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Regular consumption can also improve heart health by lowering blood pressure and bad cholesterol.
