Super Health Benefits of Green Tea
You've probably heard about the health benefits of drinking tea, especially green tea. Tea is known around the world for thousands of years as longevity, "drink. Tea has been in China since at least 3000 BC. Tea is part of the plant Camellia Sinensis, and comes as the black tea is fully oxidized, green tea is not oxidized, and oolong, which is partially oxidized.
Green tea has been harvested as young, healthy, Dark Green leaves and is then gently steamed in keeping its green color, phytonutrients, powerful intact. All teas, however, is rich in tannin, flavinols, polyphenols, and several vitamins: vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K and vitamin B. True tea does contain caffeine, but much less than it is in coffee. It is well known for help banish fatigue, increase energy levels and increase mental powers.
Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have discovered that green tea is a great scavenger and antioxidant, reducing free radicals in the body. Antioxidants seem slow or prevent cell damage that accumulates exposure to excess oxygen, creating a barrier around the tissue. Those who get a lot of antioxidants in their diet seem to be able to slow the aging process and prevent or at least put the development of many chronic degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes *.
Consumption Moderate caffeine seems to promote good circulation, so if you have a right adrenal glands, the caffeine in tea in moderation could actually be good for you. Green tea has less caffeine than black tea does. Although it contains caffeine, tea seems to act as a sedative and can relieve headaches *. The tea also acts as a diuretic, and as such, can promote better kidney function *.
Researchers at the University of California have also found both oolong and green tea to help prevent atherosclerosis, which leads to heart disease. Green tea has also been shown in numerous studies to prevent cancer or to inhibit the development of pre-cancerous lesions as well.
The plant Camellia Sinensis is known to be antibacterial and antiviral *. You can use your tea apply directly to cuts and burns as well, including sunburn. And when drunk or taken in extract form, it seems to help boost your * immune system, probably because of its antimicrobial action.
Green tea is really a mine of a drink, and polyphenols that has also been shown to support the healthy blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels *. In addition, they have been shown to protect your DNA against damage from chemicals and also radiation. This means that consumption of green tea and / or green tea extracts may be very useful for all of us who are exposed to chemicals increasing in our modern world. If you live near a nuclear power plant steal a lot (when you are exposed to high levels of cosmic rays), or are under radiation therapy, you may want consider adding green tea or green tea extract to your diet.
Extracts of green tea can be very powerful, as antioxidants and polyphenols can be concentrated, without the caffeine. However, you want to make sure you get a brand that preserves polyphenols, as some green tea extracts have not done much of this most important part of the Green tea in them. We recommend one with about 100 mg of polyphenols per serving. If you can find one that is nanized or broken down into very small particles, you will be able to digest and absorb more of the elements nutritious, even if your digestive system is somehow compromised, like many of us.
Last but not least, green tea is well known for his thermogenic effect, meaning it can help your body burn calories. One study showed that three doses of 90 mg of tea extract Green caused an additional 266 calories to be burned every day. So if you try to lose weight, adding green tea or tea extract Green may be just the ticket to help with your weight loss .*
