Why Green Tea?

If you are interested in cutting edge health benefits, beauty or anti-aging treatments, you don’t have to look far down the label of a product before you find why green tea is listed as a main ingredient ! Why green tea, this humble beverage, which is the second most consumed liquid after water in the world, risen to such a place of prestige in the health and beauty industry?

The simple fact is that this ancient drink, which is consumed three times or more a day by cultures in the Far East, is why green tea is a powerful aid against tissue oxidation (which means it contains ingredients that fight aging on every level and in every area of your body!)

Nowadays, this superbly nutritious antioxidant is found in everything from anti-wrinkle creams to herbal weight loss formulations to powdered green drink supplements.

Just to refresh your memory about antioxidants, these are chemical constituents within a natural nutrient that fight the action of free radicals on living cells. Free radicals are found in everything from sunlight to food to the air we breathe.

Free radicals do damage to the structure of cells by interfering with their atomic structure so that they cannot replicate in a healthy way. They reprogram cells in a way that eventually leads to cell decay and cell death.

Tissues are broken down and rearranged in ways different than what we were born with. If left unchecked, free radical damage leads to overt evidence of aging such as wrinkles and thin skin, deadly disorders such as cancer and cardiovascular problems, oral problems such as tooth decay and cold sores and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and irritable bowel syndrome and goes to show why green tea is a powerful aid and has many health benefits.
