MYTH – DRINKING GREEN TEA ENTIRE DAY HELPS IN WEIGHT LOSS

GREEN TEA is not just a liquid.
Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong teas and black teas. Green tea originated in China, but its production and manufacture has spread to other countries in East Asia.

Several varieties of green tea exist, which differ substantially based on the variety of C. sinensis used, growing conditions, horticultural methods, production processing, and time of harvest.

Green tea is rich in Catechins. These are antioxidants that fight and may even prevent cell damage. Green tea is not processed much before it’s poured in your cup, so it’s rich in catechins. Don’t add green tea to boiling water. It’s bad for catechins, those healthy chemicals, in the tea.It is rich in Antioxidants prevents some types of cancer, helps in weight loss, prevents Alzheimer & Parkinson disease. Helps in lowering risk of infection and much more..
