Green Tea |
I am a regular drinker of green tea. The other day I was able to cure my stomach upset after taking too many mangosteen and rambutan. I drank a cup of green tea and I had a quick bowel movement and I felt better after that. Here are some of the health benefits of drinking green tea:
· Brain benefits: According to research from Japan green tea catechins may improve reference and working-memory related learning ability and help ward off Alzheimer’s.
· Reduce the risk of cancer: Green tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). It is a powerful antioxidant that inhibits the growth of cancer cells and it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.
· Skin benefits: Green tea is a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling. Soak a cotton bud and apply it to the affected area. In the lab, when green tea is applied directly to the skin it is able to block sun-triggered skin cancer. No wonder skin preparations containing green tea from deodorants to creams are plentiful on the market.
· Inhibit the abnormal formation of blood clots: Thrombosis is the major cause of heart attacks and stroke.
· Atherosclerosis: A study involving laboratory hamsters suggests that green tea inhibits the hardening and thickening of arteries.
· Lowering LDL cholesterol: Researchers believe that green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.
· Rheumatoid arthritis: Green tea is able to reduce inflammation and thereby bring relief from the pain and suffering of this debilitating disease.
· Detoxification system: Green tea stimulates the liver to get rid of the body of free radicals and other foreign chemicals that damage cells.
Make drinking green tea a part of your healthy daily habit.
