If You Experience
Joint Pain, Here's a New Reason Why You Should Drink Green Tea
According to the Center for Disease Control, arthritis is the leading
cause of disability in the United States.1
Arthritis is so widespread that more than 20 million people are living with
the disease.2
Common treatments for arthritis include over-the-counter and prescription
drugs, some of which have very harmful side effects, but a new and tasty alternative
may offer some much-needed joint pain relief!
If you experience joint pain and arthritis, then you need to know
about green tea. Packed with powerful antioxidants, green tea is a healthy
drink, but new studies show that it also fights joint inflammation!

Tea for Toes (And Joints!)
Anyone with arthritis pain knows that it can affect daily life, making small
tasks like writing and walking unbearable, but a recent study found that green
tea can soothe arthritic joints.
Researchers at the University of Michigan discovered that green tea contains
a compound called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG for short). EGCG
inhibits the production of the molecules that contribute to inflammation and
joint damage in people with rheumatoid arthritis.3
The EGCG in green tea suppresses inflammation in the connective tissue of
arthritis sufferers too.4
So if you or someone you love experience joint pain and inflammation from
rheumatoid arthritis, then green tea can be a delicious way to relieve symptoms.
Even better, green tea has benefits for everyone!
Healing Tea
People in China have been drinking green tea for thousands of years, and
it's no wonder. Green tea has amazing health benefits and it tastes

Green tea has a variety of compounds that contribute to well being, including
polyphenols, catechins, and antioxidants. These substances work in your body
to fight harmful, damaged cells and to boost your immunity.
Here are just some of the ways green tea can help your health. Green tea:
- Inhibits the growth of prostate cancer.5
- Fights obesity and weight gain6
- Lowers blood pressure7
- Improves HDL (good cholesterol) and lowers total cholesterol8
- Stabilizes blood sugar9
As you can see, green tea has amazing preventative properties and can be a
flavorful addition to your daily routine.
Tea drinking is also a soothing ritual, so it can calm your mind as it heals
your body.
