Studies have shown that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a particular polyphenol in green tea, has the ability to penetrate into the human cell to protect it from the free radical, hydrogen peroxide. Green tea has also been shown to help protect the body from cancers, lower blood cholesterol levels, and reduce the instance of blood clots.
Another popular use for green tea is in weight loss since it can promote the burning of fat, help with the regulation of blood sugar and insulin levels, and give a mild energy boost!
Even though coffee can give you energy with its naturally occurring caffeine, some people have commented on the energy boost through green tea without the jittery side-effects.
An easy way to enjoy green tea~
Boil 4 cups of water on the stove
Remove pot from heat source and place 3-5 green tea bags (depending on preferred strength) in hot water and cover with lid for about 10-15 minutes.
Pour in large pitcher and fill the rest with purified water and ice cubes
You can add squeezed lemon or honey, depending on your preference.
I love to use our ZSENSO® Green Tea with our Truvia to make it sweet without adding calories!
