Green Tea
The plant from which green tea is derived, Camellia Sinensis, is an anti-inflammatory medicine and can be helpful in arthritis treatment. Some compounds present in green tea are responsible for this action, such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
Although researchers have found evidence that green tea extracts or particular components can have an positive effect on arthritis, it is uncertain if the amounts of active ingredients in a single drink can help alleviate symptoms.[5]
That being said, for most individuals, it is likely to be healthy. If you want to take this drink as beverage, as long as you do not add sugar, it is a healthier choice than soda, coffee, and other sweetened beverages.
more research is required to validate that green tea can help to significantly lower inflammation and to determine which type and dosage will be most efficient.
You may use green tea as follows:
- A beverage
- Powder (matcha) to add to food or smoothies
