5. Green Tea
If you’re looking for a beverage with similar properties to anti-inflammatory foods, then green tea is the perfect one for this role. Actually, this tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant is one of the healthiest beverages available. Here are some of the benefits of green tea:
- It reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease
- It may prevent obesity, heart disease and cancer
- It promotes longevity.
So many health benefits in one simple bag of green tea! The vast majority of its powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties are due to Epigallocatechin-3-gallate, a well-known antioxidant that has the potential to reduce inflammation by blocking cytokine production.
So, go ahead and open your kitchen drawer. If you’re out of green tea bags, you can find some on Amazon.
