Khaberni - A study conducted by scientists from Kagoshima University in Japan revealed that daily consumption of green tea helps prevent fatty liver disease.
The study, published in the journal "Food & Function", indicated that regular intake of green tea reduces the accumulation of fats in the liver, improves fat metabolism processes in the body, and restores the balance of gut microbiota.
It added that regular consumption of green tea reduces levels of fats and enzymes associated with liver damage, enhances the excretion of triglycerides from the body, and suppresses the manufacture of fats in liver cells while stimulating the enzymes responsible for their breakdown, thanks to the main active ingredient epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) found in green tea.
The scientists confirmed that drinking one cup daily of green tea prepared in the traditional manner might be a simple and safe way to prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and associated metabolic disorders.
It is noteworthy that scientists from Sichuan University in China recently announced the development of edible micro granules made from green tea and seaweed, noting that these supplements help burn fats and improve intestinal function.
