What can green tea do for you? It might be easier to list what it can’t do. A fascinating analysis published in the November/December 2006 issue of Explore found numerous ways that studies have demonstrated that green tea (or compounds in it) promote human health, including:
Fighting viruses, including influenza.
Lowering levels of LDL, the “bad” cholesterol.
Battling cancer. Tea compounds have been shown to help prevent or alleviate cancers of the lymph nodes, bladder, breast, cervix, colon, esophagus, lung, bones, pancreas, prostate, skin and stomach.
Aiding endurance.
Promoting weight loss in animal and human studies.
In short, drinking green tea is one of the best health moves you can make. And if you want to avoid caffeine, drink decaffeinated versions or remove the caffeine yourself.
