Is There Proof That Green Tea Can Make You Healthier

Even though some people have tried green tea and might not have been crazy about the taste, it could be worth considering to drink it anyway. A lot of people also do not consume a lot of water, but we all know that it is necessary that we have it everyday. While it might not be necessary to drink green tea,
it has many proven health benefits that make it very worth while to partake of on a regular basis.

Have you ever noticed how long some Asian people seem to live very long lives? Not that there are not people in all cultures that have some fairly old folks, but the association of some in the Asian culture that consume green tea on a regular basis shows in their longevity and quality of life as they age. Now this does not mean that you can a cup of this miracle herb once or twice a year and benefit from it, it has to be partaken of regularly for it to be truly effective. It is like water in the sense that you can not drink it just once or twice a week and it do you very much good.

Studies have shown that among Japanese men, over half of them smoke yet they do not appear to suffer nearly as much as some in other cultures from the detrimental side affects from smoking. French people that often have a diet high in fat also usually drink a fair quantity of red wines and appear to not suffer from heart disease as much as some other countries. Studies have shown that there is an element in red wine and in green tea called resveratrol. This polyphenol appears to limit the affects from fatty diets and smoking as well. This does not mean that you should drink too much red wine or smoke tobacco, but just think how much healthier you might be if you drank these beverages, the wine in moderation, and maintained a healthy diet without smoking?

Other benefits from green teas is the fact that it can help kill bacteria. Many think that this can help prevent tooth decay. It is also believed that green tea might be helpful with burning calories for those that are trying to lose weight.

So, if you could drink one or two cups of green tea per day and really reduce the chances of having high cholesterol, heart disease, heart attacks, maintain a healthy weight, and prevent tooth decay, why would you not do it? It is certainly not a cure all for everything, but it sounds like there are plenty enough benefits to make it very worthwhile.
