Is green tea healthy?

Green tea is often considered healthy because it contains a high concentration of antioxidants, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These substances may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. Green tea also contains caffeine, making it a popular stimulant and positively promoting glycolysis and lipolysis. Green tea also has relaxing effects, thanks to L-theanine which is found in green tea.
