Green tea contains many bioactive compounds that target all the hallmarks of aging:
- genomic instability
- telomere attrition
- epigenetic alterations
- loss of proteostasis
- impaired autophagy
- deregulated nutrient sensing
- mitochondrial dysfunction
- cellular senescence
- stem cell exhaustion
- altered intracellular communication
- chronic inflammation
- gut dysbiosis
Most of these effects are mediated by EGCG and other polyphenolic compounds in green tea

Green tea isn't obviously going to make you live significantly longer
However, has benefits in fighting against age-related deterioration of different organ systems, reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases
