Green tea

Anticancer. Anti-inflammatory. Antioxidant. Appetite suppressant. Blood pressure reduction. Cholesterol reduction. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is an antioxidant that is abundant in green tea and has numerous healing properties. EGCG can be useful in treating breast, lung, and prostate cancer. It can also inhibit the conversion of glucose (blood sugar) into fat and decrease appetite. In addition, evidence suggests that green tea prevents cholesterol plaques from forming on blood vessel walls, and a clinical study found that people who consumed green tea daily decreased their risk of being diagnosed with high blood pressure by up to 65 percent.
