What are the benefits of ingesting green tea regularly?
Green tea is a rich source of natural polyphenols that are good antioxidants. Green tea intake is epidemiologically associated with reduced heart disease, and animal studies have found that it can reduce cholesterol.It is also postulated that the main antioxidant polyphenol of green tea extract, EGCG, when given to mice induced with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, helped to protect brain cells fromdeath, as well as ‘rescuing’ already damaged neurons in the brain, a phenomenon called neurorescue or neurorestoration.
