BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA.
Arguably, the most beneficial compound in green tea are the polyphenols which support the antioxidants that make green tea so beneficial to out health. The presence of antioxidants in green tea makes it invaluable for wellness and for improving poor health. EGCG is an antioxidant that protects all of your cells and your DNA from damage along with the polyphenols. Also, catechins are a part of the polyphenols. Catechins have been proven scientifically to eliminate free radicals. Free radicals cause damage to the body at the cellular level. Damage of the body’s cells leaves it more vulnerable to cancer and other harmful diseases. The addition of antioxidants, polyphenols, and catechins in a well-balanced diet contributes to the many benefits of green tea.
Weight Loss
If you choose to drink green tea instead of a cup of coffee every morning, you will notice a change in your weight in less than four weeks. The high concentration of polyphenols in green tea oxidizes fat in your body in addition to encouraging thermogenesis, which is the rate that a body burns calories. Green tea raises the energy levein your body which in turn raises your metabolism level. An increased amount of weight can be lost because of this significant rise in metabolism. If you switch your morning drink to green tea, you will be consuming fewer calories, and you will be burning more as your metabolism increases. The result? Increased and faster weight loss.
Prevents Cancer
Antioxidants in green tea destroy harmful and deadly free radicals in your body. Those free radicals can develop into far worse ailments, including cancer and they also can increase signs of aging. Green tea polyphenols are constantly fighting against those free radicals, and they can cease the formation of unstable oxygen molecules. This process, called oxidation, damages the healthy body cells, and it has been linked to stroke, cancer, and heart disease.
Lowers Cholesterol
High cholesterol is often linked to heart disease and increased risk of heart attacks. The benefits of green tea include lowering cholesterol, which eliminates the onset of heart attacks. There are two types of cholesterol, the good kind (HDL) and the bad kind (LDL). Green tea can assist your body to lower the LDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol forms heavy deposits on artery walls. Green tea catechins decrease the amount of bad cholesterol (LDL). By doing so, it prevents heavy deposits on artery walls and stops heart attacks from occurring in the first place.

what i'd really like is a random phonecall to talk about nonsense or a random convo about inconsequential things like "hey, watch this vid/ have you watched this before?" *(ctrlv) pastes links* "yea omg, look at this" and blah blah.
