Antioxidants are almost like nature’s preservatives. They help protect against "oxidative stress", which is a process by which cells become damaged, like through disease, radiation, toxins, anything. This page, an article which I wrote, explains in more depth about the particular antioxidants found in green tea and other teas:

Tea, including green tea, may also have other benefits…for example, see this article:

http://ratetea.com/topic/health-benefits-of-tea/8/

Not all of the health benefits of tea can be explained by its antioxidant activity. It has other effects on mind and body too!

I hope this helps!

What do antioxidants do

Hello Sadie, Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant with compounds that can shield you from many harmful diseases including cancer and heart disease. It is now known that green tea improves cardiovascular health, reduces the risk of cancer and helps with weight loss. One of these compounds is EGCG, which is a substance with 25 to 100 times the antioxidant power of vitamins C and E. In fact, just one cup of green tea has more antioxidants than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.

Green Tea has been proven helpful at:

Protecting joints against osteoarthritis
Preventing total body inflammation
Lowering your LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Preventing excess hormone activity
Shielding your body from abnormal cell growth
Protecting against lung cancer
Aiding weight loss
Improving your metabolism
Boosting your immune system
Improving skin cells
Destroying harmful bacteria that can poison your system
Preventing tooth decay

I recommend drinking quality Japanese Green Tea such as Sencha, which has a perfect balance of sweet and bitter flavours, and Gyokuro, which has a naturally sweet aftertaste and soft aroma.

Most of us know how good green tea is for us. But did you know that squeezing lemon into green tea makes 5 times more catechin. Catechin is hearth-healthy antioxidant. By adding lemon to green tea you are adding vitamin C which slows the breakdown of carechin in your digestive system.
