Health benefits of green tea for men

Green tea is a rich source of an organic substance named polyphenols. The most vital component of green tea polyphenols is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which cannot be found in any other teas. It is considered as one of the most powerful antioxidants that enables it to fight the damaging effects of free radicals on the body cells really well.

Green tea reduces the risk of prostate cancer in men to a great extent. EGCG present in green tea acts as anticarcinogenic agent and prevents uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells in the body. Moreover, it can also destroy the malignant cells existing in the body without causing any harm to the healthy tissues of the body. Thus it can slow down the growth process of prostate cancer. Other forms of cancer that can be prevented with the help of green tea are bladder cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer and skin cancer.
