 Many have heard about the benefits of green tea. This pleasant drink helps to lower blood cholesterol, fights cancer cells, protects against many diseases, in particular against such ailments as Parkinson's disease, as well as heart disease. If a smoker, after smoking a cigarette, drinks not coffee, but a cup of green tea, he helps restore those cells of his body that have suffered from the effects of nicotine.
Tea has a beneficial effect not only on the internal spheres of the body, but also on the person's appearance. Many people claim that green tea is one of the best anti-wrinkle medicines. The same point of view is shared by cosmetic companies that produce a series of various body and hair care products.
Cosmetics typically contain green tea extract, which is extracted from the wild green leaves of the tea bush that have not been fermented. This extract contains a substance such as caffeine, which improves blood circulation in the skin at the level of small vessels and capillaries, which is used in anti-aging cosmetics. Vitamins C, P and B2 contained in green tea extract, bactericidal tannins and antioxidants allow it to be a part of care products for dry and sensitive skin, as well as for skin prone to oily and pimples.
Among other things, green tea is credited with the ability to tone, moisturize the skin and heal wounds, as well as relieve swelling. Therefore, for those with sensitive skin that cannot tolerate hard tap water, it is useful to wash with ordinary green tea.
In addition, at home, you can prepare many more different useful remedies based on green tea infusion. For example, rubbing your face with ice cubes made from iced green tea is very helpful in the morning. It helps to refresh the complexion by improving blood circulation in the skin.
Green tea is also used for hair care. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, moisturizes, tones, softens and nourishes the scalp. After washing your hair, it is useful to rinse it with green tea. This removes the negative effects of tap water and leaves hair silky and soft.
Green tea is also very useful for teeth and oral cavity. It freshens breath, and is also a good prevention of dental caries, as it contains fluoride, which is essential for dental health. You can strengthen your teeth by holding a sip of tea in your mouth while drinking tea for a while. And with inflammation of the gums, rinsing the mouth with strong tea broth (brew) can help. It is worth noting here that all of the above healing properties are attributed to green tea. Black tea, unfortunately, does not make a smile more attractive, as it gives the teeth a slight yellowish tint.
The benefits of green tea can hardly be overestimated. When used correctly, it can be very beneficial to your health. It prolongs youth and beauty, cleanses the body and energizes.
