Fuel for the mind and body
While research suggests that tea offers numerous health benefits, all information presented on this site is provided for informational purposes only, and should not be considered medical advice. It is not intended to be used as the basis for treatment of medical problems or other health issues.
Boosts Metabolism
Green tea has been shown to boost the metabolic rate and increase fat burning in the short term.
Boosts Energy
The caffeine in tea is mitigated by the naturally occurring chemical L-theophylline, which makes the effects of tea on energy level smoother and more continuous than the sometimes jarring effects of coffee and caffeinated sodas.
May Assist Brain Function
Green tea contains less caffeine than coffee, but enough to produce an effect. It also contains the amino acid L-theanine, which can work synergistically with caffeine to improve brain function.
