Green tea
Green tea is a traditional beverage of the East Asians. Analysis has shown that green tea contains valuable plant compounds such as catechins, flavonoids, lignans, and phenolic acids.
Notably, among the catechins found in tea, EGCG has superior antioxidant capabilities.
A large number of clinical studies have also shown that the polyphenols in green tea are highly effective in preventing the formation of tumors in various organs.
According to a report published in Oral Oncology Journal (US) in 2021, a study analyzed 19 studies with 4,675 individuals, showing that drinking green tea has a protective effect and prevents oral cancer. Another analysis of 51 studies with 1.6 million people in the US also showed that green tea helps reduce the risk of lung cancer, especially in men. Consuming green tea can also reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Drinking green tea is also good for the health of the liver. Specifically, individuals with fatty liver disease will see improved liver enzyme levels after 12 weeks of consuming green tea, thanks to the abundant antioxidant content of this beverage. Additionally, green tea helps deal with excessive fat accumulation in the liver.
You can use green tea bags or loose tea leaves, steep them in boiling water, and let it cool to approximately 65°C. According to CNN Health, a warm drink at or below 65°C is considered safe for consumption.
Adults can consume up to approximately 640ml of green tea per day. As most types of green tea contain caffeine, users should consider the timing of consumption or choose decaffeinated green tea.
