Green Tea

Green Tea has been used as an essential disease fighting drink for over 5000 years. In the far east countries of China, Thailand, India, and Japan, where they consume on average more then a liter of green tea each day, it has been attributed to improving everything from digestive to circulatory health.

Description

At the most basic level, green tea has proven the world over to substantially contribute to prolonged life expectancy.

Benefits

The health benefits claimed for green tea are both extensive and comprehensive. A summary of a few of them include:

  • The tea is high in catechins. Catechins are extremely powerful antioxidants which bond with and inhibit free radicals from damaging the body
  • These catechins may also be responsible for weight loss, specifically targeting fat
  • Green tea is a thermogenic, raising the body’s temperature in order to burn more calories
  • Reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels while increasing high density lipoproteins (good cholesterol)
  • Reduces the risk of heart disease, heart failure, and coronary problems attributed to poor cholesterol control
  • Contains complex tannins, polyphenols, and anticoagulants to stop blood clots
  • As an anti-inflammatory, green tea has been used to alleviate arthritis pain
  • Recommended for urinary and bladder health, accenting brain function and awareness, improving digestion, and as a cure for blotchiness

Safety Notes

Besides the possibility of restlessness caused by caffeine intake, most green tea consumption is free of harmful side effects, but as with all our product lines, Orovo recommends that you consult a physician before you begin taking any new health supplement blend.
