12 Amazing Health Benefits of Green Tea

Green Tea helps to achieve great skin and amazing health. Most women want to age gracefully, to get as old as Methuselah and still have the body and strength of an 18-year-old girl. I was one of the women looking for the power to live long and remain beautiful; that’s when I came across Green Tea. Green Tea is one of the freshest and original products to come from them. Green Tea is made from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing.
Black Tea has been in existence as long as its counterpart Green Tea, however, the reason that Green Tea has more health benefits attached to it than Black Tea is due to the processing. Black Tea is processed in a way that allows for fermentation whereas Green Tea’s processing avoids the fermentation process. As a result, Green Tea retains a maximum amount of antioxidants and polyphenols the substances that give it its superior benefits. To avoid being too technical, let’s talk about the power of Green Tea.
