Gynecologist Anna Polyakova explained how green tea affects the female body.
Why green tea is the most beneficial for women
The specialist noted that green tea, unlike black tea, does not undergo enzymatic oxidation. In other words, the varieties are not subjected to a process that gives the leaves the characteristic astringent oxidized flavor. Therefore, green tea has a more delicate taste, the source states.
A quantity of 200 ml of this tea contains only 2 kcal. The doctor says that due to its low calorie content, the tea is perfect for those who want to lose weight.
Additionally, green tea generally accelerates the removal of excess weight and also has antioxidant properties, which slow down the aging of the body.
Caffeine and polyphenols also improve cerebral circulation, relieve stress, and enhance vision. The gynecologist notes that green tea will also be beneficial for women, as regular consumption reduces the risk of breast cancer by 20-30%. However, uncontrolled consumption of this tea is not recommended.
Excess caffeine leads to frequent urination and causes problems with the urinary system. If you drink two liters of green tea every day, you cannot avoid urinary issues. But two cups a day will only bring benefits to your body, the doctor added.
