Made from the Camellia Sinensis plant, Green Tea is a rich source of antioxidants called flavonoids that may have certain health benefits, including a reduced risk of some cancers and heart disease. But many people ask – How many cups of Green Tea should I drink a day?
Harvard Health Publications recommends drinking a few cups of Green Tea each day to gain its benefits and says that in tea-drinking cultures, 3 cups per day is perfectly normal.
Tetley Pure Green Tea contains loads of antioxidants, it is a great way to feel energized and helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We have put together a few points to remember next time you brew a cup of Green Tea goodness:
• Green Tea is a great boost for your metabolism and as a result can assist with weight loss. (Remember Green Tea alone is not the golden ticket and a calorie controlled diet is also an essential part of any weight loss plan)
• If you’re sensitive to caffeine and find that Green Tea affects your sleep, have your Green Tea before 11am giving yourself a good few hours before bedtime so that the caffeine has time to wear off
• Drinking Green Tea may protect your brain and lower your risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in old age. Studies have shown that the catechin compounds in Green Tea have many protective effects which can lead to lowering the risk of diseases that come with old age.
• Studies have shown that long term consumption of Green Tea can help to drastically reduce your risk of hypertension
• Green Tea has high levels of antioxidants and minerals that can help protect your kidneys from oxidative damage preventing you from getting kidney stones.
