Green Tea has long been revered as a remarkable drink that can improve wellbeing. For thousands of years, green tea was traditionally used by Chinese, Indian and Japanese people to improve health and stimulate mental clarity. Over the years, Green Tea has attracted wide interest for its ability to improve immune function and help control inflammation. 

What is Green Tea?

Like all other teas, green tea comes from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. Many variables during the processing of the tea leaves affect the taste and look of the leaves, with the level of oxidation that they undergo determining the type of tea.

Green teas undergo very minimal oxidation and are roasted for only a short amount of time after the harvest, while black teas are fully oxidised. Green tea is one of the least processed types of tea. 

 

Does Green Tea detoxify the body?

 Attributed to the presence of high amounts of polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants, green tea can detoxify the body.

The presence of polyphenols naturally flushes out harmful radicals and helps maintain the overall health of our body. Green tea can help preserve your skin against ageing, promote weight loss, and improve immunity. 

To detoxify your body, we highly recommend a varied and healthy diet coupled with daily exercise, such as hot yoga, to promote blood flow to the skin cells and boost endorphins in the brain. A session of hot yoga will leave your skin glowing and your mind stress-free.

 

How to boost immune system with green tea?

Green tea strengthens the immune system because it protects the body against oxidants and radicals. It contains a powerful antioxidant called Epigallocatechin (EGCC) that helps protect cells from damage. 

The catechin found in green tea has also been linked to helping with weight loss and blood sugar level regulation. 

The delicate drink increases the number of "regulatory T cells" that have a great therapeutic potential to influence the immune function and suppression of autoimmune diseases. 

 

The important benefits of a strong immune system

 Taking care of your immune system will help combat viruses and bacteria during winter and seasonal changes, improve your energy levels, reduce inflammation and improve your mood. 

Fatigue and stress often lead to infections and diseases. Regular physical activity, coupled with a healthy diet and enough sleep, strengthen the body and mind, as well as helping to battle skin inflammation and autoimmune disorders.
