Helps to reduce bad breath
Green tea contains catechins. Catechins have been shown in research to be able to slow down the growth of bacteria and reduce the risk of infection in that area. Streptococcus mutans [2] is a bacteria common in the mouth. This bacteria causes plaque to form in the mouth and leads to cavities and tooth decay. Studies show that the catechins [3] in green tea may hinder the growth of oral bacteria. By doing this, there is a reduction in the risk of having bad breath and already with it, helps reduce the smell too.
