This benefit applies to both green and black teas, though green tea may have a slight advantage. Part of this protection may be a lower risk of dying from pneumonia. Five randomized, controlled trials have shown that study participants randomized to green tea are about a third less likely to come down with the flu.

Within just one hour of drinking a single cup (200 mL) of green tea, we can significantly cut down on the rate of DNA damage in our cells. This is because green tea significantly boosts the activity of an enzyme in our body that can repair DNA damage. And within a month, drinking two daily cups (400 mL) of green tea can improve DNA resistance to free radical damage in the first place, indicating that green tea has significant genoprotective––that is, DNA-protecting––effects.

Unlike most antiviral drugs, green tea appears to work by boosting the immune system to combat such diseases as genital warts (caused by HPV) and the flu (caused by the influenza virus). See the video “Benefits of Green Tea for Boosting Antiviral Immune Function” at https://see.nf/3v8xcxH to learn more.
