Can Tea Help Fight Inflammation? G1 Investigates
G1 News: Can Tea Reduce Inflammation? A recent G1 video featuring Silvana Reis explores the potential anti-inflammatory benefits of various teas. The report highlights the bioactive compounds in teas like chamomile, green, black, and fennel, suggesting they may help modulate gut microbiota and reduce systemic inflammation. One study cited showed a significant reduction in C-reactive protein levels in participants who consumed three servings of black tea daily for 12 weeks. However, the video stresses that teas are not a replacement for medical treatment, and viewers should consult labels for recommended daily intake. "Teas should be used as adjuvants and not substitutes for therapies," Reis explains. While further research is needed, the video offers a balanced perspective on the role of tea in overall health and wellness.
