The German website “Ebonet.de” said that green tea has many health benefits, as it is rich in antioxidants, which support the immune system.
The website, which is the official portal for German pharmacists, added that green tea is particularly beneficial for people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as it works to improve cardiovascular health by resisting inflammatory processes in cells.
Research indicates that drinking 4 cups of green tea daily reduces cholesterol, body weight, and body mass index.
Mineral absorption
Abonite D. added that black tea production processes significantly reduce the antioxidant content in tea leaves, noting that green tea contains higher levels of tannin compounds, which may impair the body’s absorption of minerals.
Therefore, people who suffer from anemia or iron deficiency should be careful when consuming green tea, especially with meals, since it may hinder the absorption of iron.
