Green tea has been a popular drink in Asian countries for many centuries where it has been hailed as an alternative and natural remedy for a wide range of diseases and illness. More recent scientific studies are also establishing link between\u00a0green tea consumption,and in particular, cancer prevention, cardiac health and weight control.<\/p>\n
But less well known is the link that choosing green tea as part of your daily beverage intake can improve your dental and gum health and give you a great smile. Assuming of course that you are flossing and brushing your teeth regularly because the downside is that tea, albeit mainly the \u2018inferior\u2019 brown variety, can stain your teeth.<\/p>\n
For those already stained and not so pearly whites, there are ways to reverse the damage. A visit to your cosmetic dentist <\/a>to discuss your options such as dental laser teeth whitening <\/a>treatment would be a good start.<\/p>\n The smile benefits of green tea are due to the presence of polyphenols and antioxidants known as catechins; these are believed to promote healthier gums and teeth by preventing the production of plaque, which if left unaddressed, can lead to dental cavities and bleeding gums.<\/p>\n Another reason to include more of these green leaves on your menu to enhance your smile might be as a great replacement for enamel-destroying fizzy and sports drinks or acidic based citrus juices.<\/p>\n And although personal and cultural preferences might dictate whether it served up traditionally hot or cosmopolitan iced, either way green tea tastes pretty good too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not only does a healthy diet\u00a0\u00a0maintain and promote a fitter and stronger body, it can also help you look\u00a0 and feel younger.With its\u00a0array of\u00a0benefits, green tea\u00a0seem to\u00a0be a popular contender on the current\u00a0list of health\u00a0related consumption choices we should be considering.
