Green Tea is claimed to have numerous health and skin benefits. So, today I am listing few of these benefits that it claims to prevent or control.

1) Prevents Acne – Green tea contains catechins, which are natural anti-bacterial agents that suppress acne-causing bacteria. Green tea also has anti-inflammatory action which helps reduce any swelling caused by acne and also prevent further breakouts which helps smooth out your skin, and leaves it with a radiant glow, which will leave your friends feel jealous.

2)Prevents Premature Aging – Drinking green tea increases antioxidants supply which will fight free radicals generated from UV exposure. This extra antioxidant protection will prevent your skin from getting damaged by free-radicals which may lead to wrinkles, blemishes, spots and other signs of ageing

3) Helps in reducing weight:- Green tea increases the metabolism rate and speeds up fat oxidation which aid in weight loss and fight obesity  So there can be a possible decrease your waistline by sipping a cup of Green tea. (Sounds tempting huh!!)

4) Boosts Immune System – Antioxidants in green tea increases immunity of our body naturally which helps in keeping common ailments like flu at bay.

7) Prevents Skin Cancer – Green Tea has rich anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties which fight free radicals generated by unnecessary sun exposure that increase the risk of cancer due to DNA damage. Drinking at least two cups of green tea every day can help avert skin cancer in the long run. Adding lemon juice to green tea boosts its anti-cancer properties, go ahead and add a few drops of lemon juice to your green tea to help your body strengthen its anti-cancer properties.

8) Reduces Gums and tooth Problem – Catechins present in Green tea also have antibacterial properties which fights tooth decay, gum diseases and bad breath and  also reduce the formation of plaque.
