Do you drink Green Tea?
Then you should read the information below.
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.
