Antioxidants contained in green tea help to fight aging. Because in the process of human metabolism, if it is over-oxidized, it will produce a lot of free radicals, which are easy to age and cause cell damage. SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) is a kind of free radical scavenger, which can effectively remove excess free radicals and prevent the harm of free radicals to human body. Catechins in green tea can significantly improve SOD activity and scavenge free radicals.

2. Green tea is antibacterial

Studies have shown that catechins in green tea can inhibit some bacteria that cause human diseases without harming the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, so green tea has the function of whole intestine. Studies have shown that tea polyphenols can eliminate excessive harmful free radicals in the body, regenerate efficient antioxidant substances such as α-VE, VC, GSH and SOD in the human body, thus protecting and repairing the antioxidant system, which has a significant effect on enhancing immunity, preventing cancer and preventing aging. Drinking green tea for a long time can reduce blood sugar, blood lipid and blood pressure, thus preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The medical research team of Showa University in Japan diluted 1 ml tea polyphenols solution to 1 of the concentration of ordinary tea, and put it into 10000 highly toxic Escherichia coli 0- 157. Five hours later, all the bacteria died, leaving none.

3. Green tea lowers blood fat

Animal experiments made by scientists show that catechins in tea can reduce total cholesterol, free cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides in plasma, and at the same time increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Human experiments show that it can inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce the incidence of arteriosclerosis. Green tea contains flavonol, which has antioxidant effect, prevents thrombosis and platelet aggregation, and reduces cardiovascular diseases.

4. Green tea slimming and fat reduction

Green tea contains theophylline and caffeine, which can activate protein kinase and triglyceride lipolytic enzyme through multiple functions, reduce the accumulation of fat cells, and thus achieve the effect of losing weight.

5. Green tea can prevent dental caries and remove bad breath.

Green tea contains fluorine, in which catechins can inhibit the action of cariogenic bacteria and reduce the occurrence of dental plaque and periodontitis. Tannic acid contained in tea has bactericidal effect, which can prevent food residues from breeding bacteria, so it can effectively prevent bad breath.

6. Green tea can prevent cancer

Green tea can inhibit some cancers, but its principle is limited to the inference stage. Drinking more tea is bound to have a positive encouraging effect on preventing cancer.

7. Whitening and UV protection of green tea

Experts found in animal experiments that catechins in green tea can resist skin cancer caused by UV-B.

8. Green tea can improve indigestion.

Recent research reports show that green tea can help improve indigestion, such as acute diarrhea caused by bacteria, and drinking a little green tea can alleviate the condition.

Matters needing attention in green tea health care

Green tea skin care products have good efficacy and limited validity.

Although the effect of green tea skin care products is good, there are still some considerations in choosing such products. In green tea, tea polyphenols are one of the main substances that play a role in skin care and beauty. This substance has antioxidant effect, and it can replenish water and tighten skin when used in combination with vitamins B and E. However, it should be noted that tea polyphenols, as the general name of phenolic substances or their derivatives, are easy to volatilize in the air and lose their antioxidant effect. Therefore, this kind of skin care products, especially facial masks, had better be the new tea products of that year.

Drink green tea to lose weight and prevent diseases, but drink it carefully during menstruation.

Green tea contains a certain amount of caffeine. When it coexists with tea polyphenols, it can prevent the function of caffeine in the stomach, avoid stimulating the secretion of gastric acid, and make the disadvantages of caffeine not play in the body, but promote the functions of the central nervous system, heart and liver. Moreover, the aromatic compounds in green tea can also dissolve fat and prevent fat from accumulating in the body. Caffeine can also promote the secretion of gastric juice, help digestion and fat elimination. However, it is best for women not to drink more alcohol during menstruation. Studies have shown that in addition to the normal iron loss of human body, women will also lose 18 ~ 2 1 mg of iron during each menstrual period. Drink more green tea during menstruation, and more tannic acid in green tea will combine with iron molecules in food to form a large number of sediments, which will hinder the absorption of iron molecules by intestinal mucosa. Moreover, the stronger the green tea, the greater the obstacle to the absorption of iron.
