On top of the abundance of antioxidants in Green Tea and the enhancement of insulin sensitivity, many other practical health concerns also prevail.
For one, Green Tea oxidizes stored fats in the human body. The oxidation of these stored fats creates energy, meaning that we burn them off rather than store them any longer; Green Tea Extract improves glucose tolerance in healthy people, though it does not increase any agility already absent (enhances rather than supplements), which adjoins the aforementioned insulin sensitivity while assisting in fat oxidation while exercising at a moderately intensive level.
More than four centuries ago the Chinese discovered these benevolent features of Green Tea. At that time it became a widely-used medicine, which has over the years become a traditional medicine all throughout that portion of Asia (Thailand and India, right along with China and also Japan). Used to regulate blood pressure, heal internal wounds, monitor blood sugar, and assist in creating a healthy digestive process, many other benefits exist that hide-between-the-lines.
Though medical science does not validate its benefits in several regards, even though they may be commonly understood to be true benefits, the wonderment of Green Tea is still widely followed as gospel truth by many.
For instance, though it contains about one-third of the caffeine found in coffee, Green Tea is understood by many to have more stimulating and mentally reinvigorating qualities. For another, claims exist that drinking five cups of Green Tea per day greatly increases the metabolism; understood to contain powers which heal cancer and multiple sclerosis; thought to improve and strengthen cell membranes while nullifying free radicals and cholesterol; increasing levels of norepinephrine, or noradrenalinethe, a metabolic chemical which expedites brain function; along with many other beliefs that exist in the gray area which can neither be proved nor disproved.
Ideal brewing takes place with about one teaspoon of green tea per 6 oz. cup, or 2.25 grams of tea per 5 ounces of water.
