New Delhi (NVI): Drinking green tea daily has many benefits for your health, as it helps in reducing your weight. Here are a few more facts that make green tea more powerful than regular tea.
Does Green Tea Have Antibacterial Properties?
Green tea contains many antioxidants in addition to vitamin C, polyphenols, which strengthen the immune system by destroying the body’s free radicals. Along with this, the consumption of green tea also helps in lowering the cholesterol level and at the same time, green tea helps in removing the extra fat stored in the body. The benefits of green tea are not only limited here, but it also prevents cancer cells from growing and is very beneficial for oral cancer. Its regular intake reduces the risk of cancer of the digestive system and bladder.
Reduce the harm of antibiotics
In a recent study, researchers found that there is a deep connection between green tea and antibiotic resistance. It has been found that antioxidants in green tea can help eliminate bacteria, which cause antibiotic damage.
In a study published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology, researchers found that epigallocatechin can store atrazine, an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. The most common respiratory tract infection is P. aeruginosa, which has long been resistant to many antibiotics. Experts point out that until now, a combination of drugs has been used to eliminate P. aeruginosa.
Learning outcomes
The study results found that the combination of aztreonam and EGCG was effective in reducing P. aeruginosa. According to Roberto La Ragione, a professor in the Department of Pathology and Infectious Diseases at the University of Surrey, “WHO, in its report, has described Pseudomonas aeruginosa as important for human health.”
According to Dr Jonathan Bates, lead author, Senior Research Fellow, “Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern in many cases affecting successful medical treatment. The only methods so far used to combine EGCG and recognized antibiotics as an effective treatment.
How beneficial is green tea?
Consumption of green tea increases the level of metabolism, which helps in reducing and controlling cholesterol levels in the body. Along with this, green tea is also very beneficial for oral health. It contains anti-oxidation polyphenols, which eliminate those elements in the mouth that are responsible for respiratory problems. This is the reason that green tea also regulates the amount of glucose in the body and is also helpful in reducing the harm of insulin drugs.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, green tea not only reduces type 1 diabetes but also reduces its effects on the body and prevents harm from antibiotics.
