Lately, green tea has been getting a lot
of attention, recent reports and scientific studies
found that green tea has the ability to reduce greatly
the risk of many cancers and in some cases it has
shown signs of reducing tumors.
However, green tea has been around
for thousands of years. In China and Japan it is
used as a tonic that keeps the body in optimum conditions.
This is our topic for this issue of the Home
Made Medicine Newsletter, we will dive into
the secrets and properties and we will study green
tea, to expose all of its properties. We will answer
questions like what makes some teas cure illnesses,
and what is the difference between a regular black
tea and this wonderful green healing concoction.
Chances are you have already tasted green tea, it
is a common treat in most Asian restaurants. What
you probably did not realize is that you were drinking
a powerful healing remedy. Green tea has
been used for more than 4,000 years for medicinal
purposes. Only recently, scientists are paying attention
to this marvelous plant, as we mentioned above green
tea can prevent cancer, but that is not all. Other
researches have shown that green tea bolsters the
heart's resistance to cardiovascular diseases, increases
longevity, detoxifies the body and boosts the immune
system.
TIP: Green tea also prevents cavities.
Why does green tea have all these properties and
black tea doesn't
Although green and black tea come from the same
plant, it is the processing that sets them apart.
Tea leaves contain an enzyme that causes the leaves
to oxidate after picking. By steaming and heating
the leaves, processors are able to stop the oxidation
process. Black tea it is let to oxidate and it is
submitted to several more possessing steps which
causes it to turn dark brown, and sometimes red.
Unfortunately, this manipulation of the plant reduces
and destroys compounds called polyphenols, present
in the freshly picked leaves. These compounds are
the secret healing weapon contained in the green
tea leaves, because it is processed as little as
possible, green tea retains all its polyphenols.
Out of all the types of teas, green tea contain
the highest levels of polyphenols.
What are polyphenols, and what do they do Polyphenols
are a group of natural phytochemicals (plant chemicals).
These phytochemicals are potent antioxidants, antioxidants
are the substances that protect the body from free
radicals, and free radicals are the reactive molecules
that damage the body at the cellular level, causing
cancer, heart disease and many other horrible diseases.
(To learn more about antioxidants and free radicals
read the article titled Antioxidants in our website).
There are primarily four types of antioxidants
in green tea that stand out, which give it the properties
that green tea is famous for. Many other nutrients
can be found in green tea, vitamin C tops
the list, containing ten times more than black tea.
Also found in different levels are, vitamin B2,
vitamin D, vitamin K and carotenoids (beta-carotine).
The wrong information, gives bad reputation.
Many years ago, there were concerns raised, which
made people believe that drinking tea in general
might interfere with the body's absorption and use
of iron, which in turns causes anemia. Further research
has determined that tea does not increase the risk
of iron-deficiency anemia. Another concern that
was raised was the seemingly high level of mineral
aluminum some times found in tea, aluminum causes
bone and brain disorders. Again further research,
shows that the type of aluminum found in tea does
not react in any harmful way in the body. As far
as we know, for thousands of years tea has been
used without any adverse reaction or downside.
Green tea and cancer
prevention
As mentioned before, green tea has a 4,000 year
old reputation of health enhancing beverage, although
this reputation has been dismissed in the past,
modern epidemiologists have paid close attention
the this plant, and they have found proof that many
diseases are prevented by drinking green tea.
One of the researches was done on a region of Japan
called Shizuoka, they concentrated in the area,
because statistics showed that citizens of this
city had a way below average rate of death from
cancer, both men and women. A deeper study showed
that in this tea growing region, its citizens drank
more cups of green tea than the average Japanese
citizens.
After this study, dozens more have taken place,
some in Europe and some in the United States and
the results only fortify early conclusion. Green
tea reduces de risks of cancer.
