Lose weight.

Catechins are the powerful antioxidants in green tea that have been proven to protect against obesity and type 2 diabetes.¹ New research also shows that green tea promotes fat loss by increasing obesity-fighting enzymes.² If you’re looking for help with weight loss, green tea is a great ally.

Prevent disease.

Green tea is a natural detoxifier that’s been linked to the prevention of many types of cancer and degenerative diseases.^1,3 In fact, studies show that drinking at least 2 cups of green tea a day can even help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 44%!^4,5

Stop inflammation.

Chronic inflammation can cause a host of problems, including premature aging, weight gain, and weight loss resistance. Research shows that EGCG, the most abundant catechin in green tea, stops the cycle of inflammation.⁶

Fight infection.

Research proves that green tea is a natural antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.⁷ Ever heard that you should take vitamin C to fight a cold? Green tea is an even more powerful antioxidant than vitamins C and E!⁸

Feel calm.

Green tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid that has been shown to relax the brain and reduce blood pressure.^4,9 When you’re calm, you are less likely to fall prey to emotional eating, so pour yourself a mug and de-stress. (Just make sure to stick to decaf after lunch to prevent sleep issues.)
