Green tea is touted for its high antioxidant levels. High-quality matcha comes with a high price tag, too, but is it worth the hype? Green tea has the highest polyphenol levels when compared with black tea and oolong. These antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals and may assist with inflammatory conditions like arthritis. They could also slow down the deterioration of cartilage.
Green tea may also have anti-inflammatory effects when extracts are used topically to treat the skin.
