13. Prevents Skin Cancer:
Polyphenols present in green tea inhibit the growth of two proteins — vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which are known to promote tumor cell growth. Green tea helps block the cancer-promoting actions of carcinogens and ultraviolet light. It is also known to heal the pre-cancerous scaly keratosis, which is a skin ailment that occurs due to unnecessary and chronic exposure to the sun. It thus helps in treating not only minor skin problems, but also in keeping it immune to serious damages like skin tumors.
