Since green tea has not been fermented, the most original substances in the fresh leaves of the tea tree are preserved to the greatest extent. Among them, many nutrients such as tea polyphenols, amino acids, and vitamins have been retained in a large amount, which provides the basis for the health benefits of green tea.
1. Refreshing
The reason why tea is refreshing is that tea contains caffeine, which can stimulate the central nervous system and cerebral cortex to a certain extent and play a refreshing role.
2. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
The catechins in green tea have an inhibitory effect on some bacteria that cause human disease, and tea polyphenols have a strong astringent effect and have obvious inhibitory and killing effects on pathogenic bacteria and viruses.
3. Promote digestion
Because the caffeine in tea can increase the secretion of gastric juice, and accelerate the digestion and metabolism of food. The cellulose in tea can also promote gastrointestinal motility.
4. Antioxidant
The tea polyphenols and vitamins in green tea have strong antioxidant power and physiological activity, which can effectively remove free radicals in the human body and play a role in delaying aging.
5. Lower blood lipids
Tea polyphenols play an important role in the metabolism of human body fat and can clear blood coagulation.
