Green tea is high in catechins, which are part of a family of antioxidants called polyphenols. The catechins in green tea have been proposed to help normalise elevated blood sugar levels of non-insulin dependent diabetics, prevent increases in blood pressure, restrict the build-up of LDL (‘bad') cholesterol in the blood, and diminish cellular oxidation, which is thought to be an integral part of the general aging process.
