Origin and ingredients of green tea
Green tea is made from Camellia sinensis leaves - a plant widely used in the tea industry. Unlike black tea or oolong tea, green tea is processed minimalist, almost keeping the natural active ingredient.
Green tea contains:
Catechin (especially EGCG) - a powerful antioxidant
Flavonoids
Theanine
A moderate amount of caffeine
These compounds have the ability to neutralize free radicals, limit inflammation and protect liver cells from the effects of toxins.
Benefits of green tea for the liver
Many studies have shown that green tea brings many benefits to liver function, notably:
Supporting EGCG liver detoxification in green tea helps enhance the activity of enzymes responsible for metabolizing and eliminating toxins from the liver.
Reduced risk of liver damage
The antioxidants in green tea help protect liver cells from the harmful effects of alcohol, tobacco and pollutants.
Reduce inflammation and stabilize liver function
Green tea has the effect of reducing inflammatory reactions, thereby supporting the liver to function more effectively.
Reduces the risk of liver cancer
Some studies have shown that regular consumption of green tea can reduce the rate of abnormal cells in the liver.
Note:
The recommendation of about 3-4 cups of green tea per day is a safe and effective level. You should drink white tea and not drink it when you are too hungry to avoid bowel alcohol or stomach irritation.
