The good chemicals in green tea do many things to help your health, from boosting metabolism to warding off cancer. New research continues to support that the antioxidants in tea also slow aging by protecting against oxidative damage in your cells.

We all know that drinking green tea is good for our bodies and our overall wellbeing. It’s an age-old ritual to aid digestion and fight cancer.

But did you that drinking tea might be a tool to combat aging?

New research from China shows people who drink tea regularly may have biologically younger cells than non-tea drinkers.¹
Here’s how it works:

• As our cells replicate and age, the DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes, called telomeres, shorten.
• But the “antioxidative properties of tea and its constituent nutrients may protect telomeres from oxidative damage in the normal aging process," according to the study.
• Water-extractable polyphenols that exist in tea are the powerful antioxidants that hunt down free radicals in your body
• In tea, these polyphenols exist as a series of chemicals calledcatechins. Catechins hold all the potent antioxidant and disease fighting properties.
• There are five different types of catechins but the mightiest of all is epigallocatechin gallate or EGCg for short.
• Even more encouraging is that the average difference in the telomere length between tea drinkers and non-tea drinkers corresponds to “approximately a difference of 5 years of life,” according to the researchers.

Though both black tea and green tea were included in the study, it’s important to note that most of the participants drank green tea, which contains between 30 and 40 percent of water-extractable polyphenols. Black tea (which is simply green tea that has been oxidized by fermentation) only contains between 3 and 10 percent.

Black tea, ginkgo biloba leaves, dark chocolate and wine all have catechins but green tea has them all beat.

Nothing has as many free-radical fighting catechins as green tea! You'd have to eat many bars of chocolate or drink a lot of wine to catch up. And all that excess chocolate and alcohol are certainly not recommended on your Body Ecology lifestyle and would be no good for your health in the long run.

With all the health benefits attributed to green tea, you probably wish it were as ubiquitous as water.
