14. Reduces Stress and Depression:
Stress and depression are two other monsters threatening to take away our peace of mind. Green tea can actually help you fight off depression. Research conducted by the American Botanical Council has found that the more green tea an elderly person drank in a day, the less likely he or she was to be depressed. Green tea is actually great for your brain. Polyphenols present in green tea help your brain to maintain a steady supply of its primary fuel, glucose.
Apart from the anti-oxidants, green tea also contains a compound called theanine. Theanine is an amino acid that helps in relieving stress and anxiety. Theanine also works great as an anti-depressant. The lower percentage of caffeine in green tea is also an added advantage for people suffering from anxiety disorders and other stress related problems.
