20. Green Tea
Green tea is recommended for just about everything and seems to have countless advantages over other beverages. We all know that it is a very potent source of antioxidants which right away means you can expect to enjoy protection from cell damage and therefore, lower rates of inflammation.
It has also been shown to boost the brain, boost the metabolism, reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and kill off bacteria. All these things can help to combat inflammation.
What’s more is that one study measured the effect that green tea would have on inflammation specifically and found that it was much lower in those that drank green tea regularly.
Some forms of green tea can even help fight mental stress thanks to the inclusion of l-theanine, another ingredient that helps to relax the body and mind.
