It’s official! This tea can help fight COVID effectively
Drinking green tea, black tea, or matcha latte may help inactivating the Omicron subvariants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Scientists from Japan found that chemicals in these teas bind to the spike protein of the virus, preventing it from infecting cells. The study also showed that sweet treats made with green tea or black tea could potentially decrease the virus load in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract. These findings highlight another potential health advantage of consuming these teas.
