Over the years, green tea has been shown to improve blood flow, lower cholesterol, and prevent a variety of heart-related problems. Did you know most recently it has been shown to possibly help ward off COVID-19? Researchers at North Carolina University have found that green tea contains flavonoids, which have antiviral capabilities, antivirals work by attaching to an enzyme in the virus and inhibit the virus from replicating.
“It stops the application process so the virus cannot produce new genomes that then can be packaged into new viral particles.” said Dr. Richard Plemper, Professor at Georgia State University.
In the study , the chemical compounds in green tea have been found to weaken the spike proteins that give COVID-19 it’s power to infect and spread. Dark chocolate and grapes were found to do the same thing, but scientists and doctors are urging the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 is by getting the vaccine as soon as you are able to.
When they vaccinate, it’s not just about them, but it’s also about the people very close to them.” said Dr. Sunjoo Ahn, Associate Professor of Advertising at the University of Georgia.
