Blood Sugar Control: Some studies suggest that green tea may help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels. The catechins and antioxidants present in green tea are believed to have a positive impact on glucose metabolism.
Sorate has long been friends with Dr. Yukihiko Hara, one of the world's leading experts on the health aspects of the tea plant and the importance of regular consumption of green tea.
Tea is made from the tea plant Camellia sinensis, and tea leaves contain large amounts of polyphenols, most of which are flavonoids from the catechin family. These polyphenols polymerize after the leaves are harvested, resulting in the black tea known in the West. However, if the leaves are heated briefly immediately after harvest, the polyphenol oxidase enzyme is inactivated, no polymers are formed, and the tea leaves remain green.
Dr. Hara's research has shown that green tea polyphenols have antibacterial, anticariogenic, and antiviral effects; prevent cancer, lower lipid and glucose concentrations, and lower blood pressure.
Dr. Hara considers green tea a panacea: he explains that the tea's polyphenols "miraculously help maintain good health," and that from an early age he was “firmly determined [to] do every possible experiment in order to prove the theory that catechins are responsible for the health benefits of tea.”
After the holidays, we all ate too much sweets, rich and fatty foods, and maybe drank a few too many cocktails.
In addition, many of us were traveling or recovering from the inevitable colds and flu of the season.
All of this combined makes us feel tired, irritable, achy and often overweight.
So are we ready for a detox?
Doctor Dean Ornish recommends green tea and matcha as natural detoxifiers.
In fact, these drinks help eliminate excess triglycerides and bad cholesterol, cleanse the blood and improve the overall condition of the heart and liver.
Besides, green tea and matcha have a slimming rate 17% higher than other teas.

One of the many benefits of green tea is its ability to suppress appetite. Green Tea has various antioxidants and plant compounds beneficial to the human body, which could be one reason for its ability to stave off hunger.
In addition to its hunger suppressant abilities, green tea is also claimed to have weight- loss and fat-burning properties.
HOW?
It is known that drinking green tea can suppress hunger and thus aid in weight- loss as it affects the production of catechloamines in the body. Catechloamines are peptide hormones, which activate the sympathetic nervous system.
In studies, researchers have found that the active compound in green tea, EGCG, helps to mediate food appetite by inhibiting an enzyme that would normally break down catecholamines.
The compound known as epigallocatechin gallate is a type of plantcompound known as catechin. Catechins belong to a larger group known as polyphenols.
HEART HEALTH:
Green tea has been shown to promote heart health by reducing blood pressure, cholesterol, and plaque build-up in blood vessels, all of which are major risk factors for heart disease.
BRAIN HEALTH:
In recent studies, the consumption of drinking of green tea daily was linked with a reduced risk of age-related brain degeneration, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease in multiple human studies.
WEIGHTLOSS:
According to the findings of some long-term observational research, consuming about 2 cups of green tea per day may reduce body fat and weight. In additional experiments, it has been found that consuming 100–460 mg of EGCG while consuming 80–300 mg of caffeine for at least 12 weeks is associated with significant weight loss and aids in weightless.
