An idea spark in my mind yesterday that I want to pursue again my dream of becoming a writer and transcriber. I want to improve more my English. My English is not really so fluent and also my grammar.
So I started reading articles again and researching on topics that interest me. A sort of training if I want to continue my dream to be a writer.
One article I read yesterday are the evidence-based benefits of green tea. Honestly I'm not a tea person, I am a coffee person. I don't really enjoy drinking tea but I drink iced teas not hot teas.
I'm so amazed to know how good is green tea for our health.
Tea contains polyphenols that can help fight cancer. It also contains catechins specifically epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) which is an antioxidant that helps in prevention of cell damage.
Next I'm glad to know that green tea also protects the brain. It can prevent Alzheimer's, Dementia and Parkinson's disease which are common neurodegenerative disease. This is because of the bioactive compounds catechins.
It also reduces bad breath again because of the catechins that suppress the growth of bacteria
It is also good for those with Type 2 Diabetes as it improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar levels.
It can also prevent heart diseases and strokes as it lowers the LDL or bad cholesterol.
Last thing I really want to hear is that green tea can help us live longer. It is much better if you can drink 5 cups or more per day based on research on Japanese adults.
I think for a health lifestyle I will start drinking hot green tea from now on
Do you already drink green tea regularly?

Even though I drink tea other than green tea, I will give green tea a try in the future to improve my health.
