This polyphenol is a amongst the most powerful antioxidants discovered and is critical for maintaining cholesterol level, allowing the body to break down LDL before blockages can be formed, which can trigger heart attacks and strokes.
In addition its detoxifying effects, green tea bolsters the digestion system helping to burn calories faster, which in turn generates more energy - helping tea drinkers loose excess fat and decrease weight.
