Researchers in Hong Kong have found new benefits from using green tea Studies have shown that a cup of green tea a day can help prevent heart and eye disease According to research, green tea contains healthy substances (catechins, an antioxidant), which can penetrate into eye tissues, improving the possibility of tea against glaucoma and other eye diseases Chi Pui Pang and his colleagues pointed out that green tea contains vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein and zeaxanthin These elements can have miraculous effects against eye diseases, such as glaucoma and other eye diseases Scientists point out that different parts of the eye structure absorb a lot of catechins Oxidative stress causes diseases of the retina, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma Drinking green tea can reduce this pressure and ultimately avoid the degeneration of our eyes and the deterioration of our vision The antioxidant activity of green tea extract can last for 20 hours Green tea originated in China and is now sold all over the world Green tea is pure leaf in the production process and basically does not undergo oxidation process "Our results show that drinking green tea has a great benefit in fighting oxidative stress in the eyes." The report points out that experts need to do more research to confirm the results, so as to determine the protective effect of green tea As we all know, green tea can cure and prevent cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, infectious diseases, immune system damage, cardiovascular diseases More research will be needed to confirm its protective effect on human health.
