As described in the section of “History of Japanese Green Tea,” green tea’s beneficial effects on health have been acknowledged for centuries. With a unique harmony of sweet and astringent flavour, green tea contains rich natural nutrients that can work effectively on maintaining your health.

When activated oxygen increases beyond necessary in the body, which leads to a range of diseases and aging skin. Green tea contains Catechin (or Tannin, a bioflavonoid), Vitamin B, C, and E, which can work as antioxidants in the human body. Therefore, regular consumption of green tea helps you to prevent diseases and maintain your skin healthy.

It is widely known that too much cholesterol (especially LDL cholesterol) can block blood vessels, which may cause cardiac infarction (heart attack) and cerebral infarction (stroke). Catechin contained in Japanese green tea blocks the formation of LDL cholesterol and is helpful in preventing those serious diseases.

Another effect that Catechin in green tea brings us is its quality of reducing fat in your body. When consumed with food, Catechin reduces absorbing fat in the digestion process.

The bioflavonoids and fluoride contained in green tea help to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. You can gargle with green tea after brushing your teeth to kill germs and prevent bad breath. In addition, it is said that gargling with Japanese green tea can prevent influenza and the common cold and relieve those symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and nasal congestion.

Like black tea and coffee, green tea has much caffeine, which can cause nervousness or an over excited state. However, in the case of green tea, the effects appear differently on the human body because of an amino acid, Theanine, in green tea. Theanine reduces blood pressure and stimulates alpha brain waves, which are associated with a relaxed but alert mental state. As Theanine tempers the effects of caffeine, you can stay alert, refresh, and relax the mind with a cup of green tea.
