The University of Maryland suggests green tea may also help ward off the effects of the cold and flu. Adding honey to your tea has the ability to soothe a sore throat, a common symptom of a cold.
Preventing Cancer
Laboratory tests show that certain antioxidants, called polyphenols, found in green tea may help prevent certain types of cancer such as skin, prostate and colon cancer. According to a paper published in 2005 in the "International Journal of Cancer," an active compound in green tea, known as EGCG, helped block cancer growth by restricting blood flow to abnormal cells. Studies on laboratory animals show promising results. However, more human trials are needed to fully understand the benefits green tea carries for cancer.
Weight Loss
Green tea and green tea extract are heavily marketed as a weight-loss aid. The University of Maryland says that green tea can aid in weight loss and maintenance. One study published in the " American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" in 2005 found that consuming catechin-rich green tea reduces body fat and lowers LDL, or "bad" cholesterol. Other research suggests that combining green tea with caffeine may also boost your metabolism, which increases your body's ability to burn fat.
