Add another wonderful benefit to the list! Green tea might very well help to fight gum disease and reduce the effects of receding and bleeding gums, according to a study that was done in Japan and which was then published in the Journal of Periodontology.
According to the research, just one cup of green tea a day can help to reduce the effects of gum disease, which is said to be caused by an inflammatory response to bacteria in the mouth. It does so with the help of the antioxidants contained in the tea - which help to fight the inflammation caused by periodontal disease.
