The consumption and use of green tea has many benefits: protection from cancer and heart diseases; it assists in weight loss; and it can increase physical stamina. But what it is mostly known for is its amazing anti aging properties.

This tea is the least processed and most nutrient rich tea that there is. Its lack of processing allows for it to maintain its incredible antioxidant abilities. Antioxidants are substances or nutrients that can prevent damage to cells or can repair previously damaged cells. It is also a great source of a group called catechins. These catechins are many times more powerful than vitamins C and E in stopping oxidative damage to skin cells and providing an anti aging solution.

The antioxidants in this tea are thought to be one of the strongest ever discovered. They slow down the aging process in the body and help fight free radicals, which in turn help to prevent age related skin problems. It is also helps with inflammation and can stop your DNA from being damaged. As a wrinkle fighter, it will help to slow down the aging process by reversing the look and feel of your skin. Studies have shown that drinking green tea or taking a supplement of the tea for a minimum of eight weeks can help improve the elasticity of the skin, and therefore help to fight the wrinkle problem that we all face as we age.

Green tea can be consumed in its liquid form or bought as a capsule. It has also been added to many creams and lotions, but the choice is ultimately up to the consumer on how it is to be used. The body has an easier time breaking down the tea in its liquid form, and as a cream or lotion it is readily absorbed into the skin. As a capsule you will get a more concentrated version than with either a cream or liquid. But if you are a tea drinker then maybe liquid form is what is best for you. But if you are not fond of the taste of tea the cream or capsule may be a better alternative for you.
