JAKARTA - Green tea is a very useful drink and has been associated with various health benefits. Don't hesitate to add green tea to your diet. Consumption of green tea for about two weeks can bring tremendous changes to your health and well-being.

Replacing your daily cup of coffee with green tea can be a big step towards improving health. Even health experts support this. Dr. Joseph Salhab, an experienced gastroenterologist in the field of digestion, liver, pancreas, and nutrition, explains the benefits of green tea and how consumption for only two weeks can have a significant impact on health.

Reporting from the Times of India page, research has consistently shown that green tea can improve gut health. A 2012 study published in the journal Microbiology and Immunology found that green tea consumption could increase the number of Bifidobacteria and other good bacteria in the human intestines.

"Green tea starts repairing intestinal bacteria in just 10 days," said Dr. Salhab.

Consumption of green tea is also associated with increased liver function.

"Green tea can help protect your heart and even slow down the development of fatty liver disease," added Dr. Salhab.

A 2013 study published in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine found that catechin-rich green tea can increase liver function and reduce the buildup of fat in patients with fatty liver disease.

Right Green Tea Consumption Tips

- Drink 23 cups of green tea every day, ideally after eating.

- Avoid adding sugar so that the benefits are maximum.

- Use warm water (not boiling) to brew tea so that the antioxidant content is not damaged.

- If you are sensitive to caffeine, avoid consumption by night.
