Camellia Sinensis ´s infusion of the leaves is :

very beneficial for the health of the body and  also it is beneficial  for psyche

It is antimutagenic, anti-carcinogenic and antioxidant. It contains, among others, also caffeine, oil and poly phenols (more in detail flavonoids and catechins) . Poly phenols in the tea (mistakenly labeled as tannins) create the astringent  and bitter taste on the tongue, after leaching, which stimulates the salivary glands.
Green tea contains vitamins but it cannot replace varied diet. It strengthens the walls of blood vessels  and it increases their flexibility. It acts as a  mildly bactericidal  agent in a gastrointestinal tract and it also prevents the tooth decay. The tea  also helps digestion and emulsification of fats. Caffeine accelerates reactions, increases alertness and improves the focus (concentration). Compared with coffee, the caffeine and  substances linked to it has smoother therefore slower and longer lasting effect in the tea. The tea stimulates secretion of digestive juices, urine, and it boosts your metabolism.
Blood flow of the coronary arteries also improves with the consumption, which helps to prevent heart attack (infarct) and it  reduces the blood pressure when being long-term used. The green and the semi-  fermented teas and pu-er therefore support weight loss and reduce the  level of cholesterol in the blood. Green tea has less astringent effects than the black tea, therefore it is suitable  for consumers with slower peristalsis. Overall  the tea improves immune functions , intercellular communication  and  it inhibits the carcinogenic cellular processes.

Processing and absorption of the food depends, among others, on the sufficiency of the water and on the state of the intestinal microflora , which produces hormones regulating fat  storage and at least one neurotransmitter , through which the  hormones can influence the state of mind.

Therefore it is possible to support your health on many levels  with a quality tea :

• it inhibits intestinal lipase
• it blocks the differentiation and proliferation of fat cells
• it stimulates lipolysis (fat loss)
• it decreases lipoperoxidation of saturated fatty acids (the oxidation of fatty acids is dangerous because it supports the development of artherosclerosis)
• it stimulates  thermogenesis (heat release)
• it is a powerful cellular antioxidant (it protects cells from the damage)
