Green Tea Plant

Green tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which was originally cultivated in Asia. Today, however, the Camellia sinensis plant itself grows all throughout Asia, not to mention parts of Africa and the Middle East. The green tea plant, however, is available just about anywhere - take a quick look on the Internet, in fact, and you are likely to find dozens of sites based right in the United States which grow and even send out green tea plants.

Many teas come from the Camellia sinensis plant, but of them all, green tea plants are considered to have the most of the essential polyphenols called catechins, which gives green tea plants their beneficial healing powers. The catechins in green tea plants are antioxidants, and antioxidents are designed to slaughter free radicals, which can damage the body drastically. Free radicals can tamper with cells, mess with DNA, and even kill cells off - but catechins keep them from doing that, which is why green tea plants are so beneficial to the overall health of pretty much anyone who drinks the tea or takes some kind of green tea supplement.

How, exactly, are green tea plants turned into tea? For starters, green tea comes from the unfermented leaves of the green tea/Camellia sinensis plant - what does that mean, precisely? Well, sometimes the fermentation process breeds unhealthy affects, but drinkers of green tea never have to worry about those. Also, since green tea plants do not go through an extensive fermentation process (which can kill off catechins), even the finished product is still full of beneficial polyphenols.

So what can green tea plants do for you? Well, for one thing, it is entirely possible that green tea and green tea plants are a better source of vitamin C than citrus fruits - which can really benefit those of us with sensitive stomachs that do not react very favorably to large amounts of citric acids! Also, since green tea plants are so rich in catechins, lending them all their health and healing benefits, green tea plants can aid in weight loss, calorie burning, cholesterol levels, and even sugar levels. Extensive studies show that green tea plants may even have positive effects on many kinds of cancer, general oral health, energy, metabolism, and obesity. Green tea plants have also been found to benefit liver disease, diabetes, and even stomach problems, such as IBS, constipation, or even Crohn's Disease.

The best part is that the green tea plant is completely natural and all you need to do in order to start reaping the many benefits is start drinking it!
