Singer Sabrina Carpenter joins millions who love a nutritious green beverage brimming with health advantages. She has publicly shared her love for one particular drink that she savours each morning.

The ‘Manchild’ singer reportedly swears by a hot beverage that can be effortlessly made at home. Green tea is hailed as one of the planet’s healthiest drinks, with specialists indicating it could offer numerous potential wellness benefits.

In a video with ELLE, Sabrina said: “There’s so many healthy benefits of drinking green tea.” And she’s absolutely correct – research exists to indicate that green tea might help ward off flu, lower blood sugar levels and even support cardiovascular health.

It additionally enhances circulation, delivers a natural energy boost and is recognised for its anti-inflammatory properties. There’s also some research suggesting that consuming green tea may support cognitive function, mood, and brain performance.

This could be attributed to compounds found in green tea such as caffeine and L-theanine. According to Healthline, a 2020 review found that green tea may help reduce blood sugar while fasting in the short term.

Green tea also contain polyphenols, a type of antioxidant with anti-viral and anti-inflammatory benefits. Research has shown that the polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate found in green tea possesses antiviral properties, which could prove useful when battling cold and flu symptoms.

Another recent review of studies suggests that regularly drinking green tea could lower many risk factors of heart disease, such as blood pressure or lipids. A 2022 study discovered that consuming four or more cups of green tea daily was associated with a 44% reduced risk of abdominal obesity, but this effect was only significant in women.

However, it appears that green tea does not alter your levels of hunger and satiety hormones, which help control your appetite. The evidence on weight loss with green tea is also mixed.

While the research on green tea is encouraging, it’s not a magic bullet for weight loss. Maintaining a healthy weight necessitates a balanced diet, regular physical activity, ample hydration, moderate alcohol consumption, and giving up smoking.
