Green tea with Peppermint

Peppermint tea:

1. Makes you stress-free, because the menthol in the peppermint acts as a muscle relaxant and overall relaxant for mental health.
2. Help you sleep because, just like the stress-free feature above, the menthol helps you to relax and fall asleep.
3. Helps you to lose weight, simply because the tea leaves you feeling full for a longer period and so it satisfies your cravings and you don’t ingest as many calories.
4. Helps with an upset stomach again thanks to the menthol that calms and soothes your stomach.
5. Improves digestion again thanks to menthol. The menthol is responsible for the antiseptic and antibacterial properties for improving digestion.
6. Boosts your immune system thanks to peppermint’s antibacterial properties, and those in turn help to fight off disease, which helps to improve your immune system.

Green tea:

1. It contains healthy bioactive compounds, that help to reduce inflammation and help to fight cancer due to natural antioxidants.
2. May improve brain function. This has to do with green tea’s key ingredient: caffeine. “Research has consistently shown that caffeine can improve various aspects of brain function, including mood, vigilance, reaction time, and memory. However, caffeine isn’t the only brain-boosting compound in green tea. It also contains amino acid            L-theanine, which can cross the blood-brain barrier.”
3. Increases fat burning. Green tea does this because it boosts metabolism and therefore increases fat burning.
4. Antioxidants may lower the risk of some cancers. There’s a lot involved in this, but in (very) short, green tea’s antioxidant elements are what help to lower the risk of cancer.
5. May protect the brain from aging. “Not only can green tea improve brain function in the short term, it may also protect your brain as you age.”
6. May reduce bad breath
7. May help prevent type 2 diabetes. Diabetes involves elevated blood sugar levels and green tea may “improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.”
8. May help prevent cardiovascular disease. “Studies show that green tea may improve some of the main risk factors for these diseases [heart disease and stroke], which includes improving total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.” And here’s a pretty impressive fact: “people who drink green tea have up to a 31% lower risk of dying from a cardiovascular disease.”
9. May help you lose weight. Green tea helps you lose weight due to it helping to boost your metabolic rate.
