Green tea is often heralded for its health benefits: from weight loss to cancer prevention and a laundry list of others, it seems there’s nothing it can’t do. Nevertheless, nothing is perfect or without its faults, and that includes tea. It’s important to point out that while it might be very beneficial, drinking green tea alone likely won’t improve your life span or protect you from disease.
“Research suggests that a combination of lifestyle components account for the health benefits observed in people that drink tea,” says Dr. Josh Axe, D.N.M., C.N.S., D.C., founder of DrAxe.com, best-selling author of Eat Dirt, and co-founder of Ancient Nutrition.
