Green tea has been consumed in China and Japan for thousands of years, and is starting to become a popular research topic for its discovered health benefits. Green tea contains flavonoids which are substances found in plants and flowers and studies have shown that the flavonoids in green tea can help in heart health, lowering total cholesterol as well as lowering blood pressure (Penn Medicine). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green tea also has anti-inflammatory effects, having a positive impact on breast, liver, prostate and colorectal cancers (Penn Medicine). Green tea contains caffeine, which can act as a stimulant, increasing cognitive function, mood, reaction time and memory. Caffeine can also improve physical performance, allowing for a more intense workout than if one did not have the stimulating effects of green tea. More and more people are leaning towards a more natural caffeine, versus the artificial ones found in energy drinks. Green tea also contains a compound called L-theanine which acts on the GABA receptor, decreasing anxiety.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
