Green Tea and Health Benefits
by Julia Sabinzky
The Miracle of Green Tea
For thousands of years, the Chinese have used green tea as
something of a miracle cure for their ailments.
In 1994, the Journal of National Cancer Institute published
the results of an epidemiological study of Chinese men and
women that showed one of the health benefits of drinking
green tea is that it has possibly reduced the rate of
esophageal cancer by up to 60%.
The presence the antioxidant EGCG is the principle reason
why green tea has such great health benefits. EGCG has
properties that can not only inhibit the growth of cancer
cells, but may even be able to destroy them without harming
healthy cells.
The University of Purdue has also concluded a research on
how a certain compound present in green tea can stop cancer
cells from growing. Still another health benefit of green
tea is its ability to lower down cholesterol levels and
improve the ratio between good (HDL) cholesterol and bad
(LDL) cholesterol.
The EGCG in green tea is a health benefit substance that can
lower down LDL cholesterol levels and stop blood from
forming abnormal clots (thrombosis), a leading cause of
heart attacks and strokes.
Green tea has more health benefits than other teas like
oolong and black tea, even though they come from the same
Camellia sinensis plant. Green tea is different because of
the process by which it is made. Green tea gets much of its
health benefits from how the Camellia sinensis leaves are
steamed. The steaming process keeps the EGCG health benefits
from oxidizing. With oolong and black teas, the leaves are
fermented instead of steamed, which causes the EGCG be less
potent.
One of the most exciting benefits of green tea is how it can
help you to burn more calories - aiding in weight loss.
Recent studies have shown that combining green tea and
caffeine is more effective in burning calories that just
taking caffeine or placebo. Scientific studies bode well
for the numerous benefits of green tea.
Another health benefit of green tea is its
bacteria-destroying properties. The health benefit of green
tea in this area is that it can help prevent food poisoning
and also prevent tooth decay. The substances found in green
tea kill the bacteria causing food poisoning and those that
cause dental plaque to form.
Green tea can almost be considered a miracle in a cup. -
