<< < (4/4)

Saba Fatema:
Thanks for sharing the significance of green tea.

nayeemfaruqui:
Green tea contains salubrious polyphenols, in particular catechins, the most abundant of which is epigallocatechin gallate. Green tea also contains carotenoids, tocopherols, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), minerals such as chromium, manganese, selenium or zinc, and certain phytochemical compounds. It is a more potent antioxidant than black tea, although black tea has substances that green tea does not such as theaflavin.

Green tea consumption is associated with reduced heart disease in epidemiological studies.One study has shown that it can reduce total and "bad" (LDL) cholesterol by decreasing cholesterol absorption.

Thank you for this post..
