The
antioxidants in green tea may offer benefits, such as protecting your bone,
brain, and heart health.
Green tea, a
source of antioxidants and caffeine, has several possible benefits. Research
has found that the health benefits of green tea may include alleviating anxiety
and stress, enhancing memory, and reducing high blood pressure and cholesterol.
There are
several types of green
tea, including beverages, dietary supplements,
and even topical ointments.
1. Alleviates Anxiety and
Stress
Tea contains
an amino acid called L-theanine,
which alleviates anxiety and stress, helping you relax. Green tea has one of the highest concentrations of
L-theanine compared to black, oolong, and white tea.
Research
has found that supplementing 200–400 milligrams of L-theanine daily helps
reduce anxiety and stress. A study published in 2019 found that people who
took 200 milligrams a day of L-theanine for four weeks had greater improvements
in anxiety, depression, and sleep than those who took a placebo.
Of
note: The amount of L-theanine used in the study is much more than that in a
cup of green tea, which ranges from eight to 30 milligrams. Talk to a
healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting supplements containing this
amount of L-theanine.
2. Helps Protect Against
Cognitive Decline
Some
evidence suggests that drinking green tea helps protect against certain
neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Green tea has a
high concentration of antioxidants, which may protect against cell damage that
raises the risk of chronic illnesses.
Cognitive
decline is one of the first noticeable symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and
related forms of dementia. Cognitive decline involves frequent, worsening
instances of confusion and memory loss.
Green tea may
lower your risk of osteoporosis, a bone
disease that increases the risk of hip, spine, and wrist fractures.
Postmenopausal people have the highest risk of osteoporosis. Some
evidence suggests that the high concentration of antioxidants in green tea may
enhance bone formation and protection against bone mass loss.
Drinking green
tea may help support living a healthy, long life. Green tea is a source of
polyphenols, or plant compounds that act as antioxidants.
Research has
found that polyphenols have anti-aging effects, such as:
A review
published in 2020 found that consuming green tea helps lower LDL
("bad") and total cholesterol. Nearly
two in five adults in the United States have high cholesterol levels, which
raises the risk of heart attack and stroke.
