GREEN TEA (Camellia Sinensis) is made from the leaves of the tea plant that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing. For centuries green tea was used as part of the daily diet, to hydrate the body, aid digestion, and provide a stimulating yet relaxing drink. Green tea is loaded with polyphenols like flavonoids and catechins which are powerful anti-oxidants. Today research continues into the properties of green tea to determine if the natural polyphenols can assist to help regulate blood sugar and / or blood pressure. It also contains L-theanine which has possible natural anti-anxiety effects. It is believed this increases the activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, and can help soothe you and relax the mind. Research shows it also aids in increasing dopamine and the production of alpha waves in the brain. Green tea has also been the focus of exciting new studies into its possible effectiveness in raising metabolism for weight loss, and maybe even helping to prevent & fight cancer and other diseases with its powerful super antioxidants.
