Our diet and lifestyle, the convenience of processed foods, and fat-saturated take-outs have generally resulted in poor health and related diseases like heart disease and cancer. These diseases are continually on the rise each year. In such a context, Green Tea stands out as a promising health booster.

Research on Green tea antioxidants and its effects on our bodies has shown positive results, and while more research is required to make conclusive statements, experts generally agree that green tea antioxidants can help in promoting good health and reduce the risk of getting certain diseases.
