Green tea has earned its place as one of the healthiest beverages you can drink and for good reasons. 

Registered dietitian Natalie Allen explains in a recent Martha Stewart article how green tea offers more than just a refreshing sip. She highlights green tea’s unique mix of caffeine and L-theanine, a combination that boosts energy. It is also rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body, reduce inflammation and support healthy aging. 

Allen is also a clinical associate professor of nutrition and dietetics in the School of Health Sciences at Missouri State University.
