There are many reasons people should drink green tea. Along with the soothing feeling it gives your throat, it also is packed with health benefits. Some people may already be privy to Green Tea’s ability to fight heart disease and lower cholesterol, but that is just the beginning its advantages.
Why is Green Tea so Healthy?
According to organicfacts.net, Green Tea doesn’t start off any differently than regular tea does. Green Tea actually comes from the same plant any other tea comes from. The big difference that gives Green Tea its added benefits is the way it is processed. “Normal” tea is produced by fermenting the tea leaves, while Green Tea is dried (or even steamed,) but never fermented. Organicfacts.net also shares the health benefits of Green Tea come mainly from its anti-oxidizing properties.
