Description
Green Tea
Green tea is made from unoxidized leaves and is one of the least processed types of tea. Green tea is rich in polyphenols, which are natural compounds that have health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and helping to fight cancer. Green tea contains a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Catechins are natural antioxidants that help prevent cell damage and provide other benefits. These substances can reduce the formation of free radicals in the body, protecting cells and molecules from damage. These free radicals play a role in aging and many types of diseases. EGCG is one of the most powerful compounds in green tea. Research has tested its ability to help treat various diseases. It appears to be one of the main compounds that gives green tea its medicinal properties.
Red Tea
Red tea is associated with health benefits due to its high levels of health-promoting antioxidants, which include aspalathin and quercetin. Antioxidants may help protect cells from damage by free radicals. Over the long term, their effects may reduce your risk of illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer. There is some evidence that red tea can increase antioxidant levels in your body. Antioxidants in red tea are linked to a healthier heart. This may happen in different ways. First, drinking red tea may have beneficial effects on blood pressure by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). ACE indirectly increases blood pressure by causing your blood vessels to contract.
