Hello mommy . .
.
Do you like green tea? If you don’t like
it, you must know that this green tea has many benefits for our body. In fact, you could say green tea is a miraculous
drink. Green tea is a beverage inherited from our ancient
forefathers. Originating in ancient China, almost 4000 years ago, it is made,
like many other Chinese teas, of the leaves from Camellia sinensis. But unlike
other teas, green tea is manufactured differently and that is what retains its
beneficial properties.
Now, because of this green tea’s
nutritional and healing powers, it is famous the world over. Herbalists suggest
everyone drink at least two cups a day, or take it as an all natural
supplement. The benefits are enormous. It is known to reduce cholesterol, help
in the loss of weight, but best of all it reduces the chances of getting
cancer, and eliminates cancer cells when they already exist.
Results of an
epidemiology study made in 1994 by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute,
show that drinking this tea reduces the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese
men and women by almost 60%. The results also suggest that green tea
ingredients hamper the growth of cancer cells.
It is rich in catechin
polyphenols and specially (EGCG), a strong antioxidant. The antioxidants in
green tea eliminate free radicals that can damage DNA and this result in cancer
growth. However, aside from being an anti-cancer nutrient, this tea can be
beneficial in weight loss. It reduces the cholesterol levels, offers energy and
calms the nerves. Additionally, green tea prevents tooth decay and kills
bacteria.
This tea offers
hydration benefits too. Much like water does. It helps patients with diabetes
control their sugar levels and it helps anyone stabilize glucose levels slowing
the rise of blood sugar. Again the EGCG, powerful antioxidant, combats harmful
toxins with free radicals thus slowing down the aging process and increasing
longevity. Added to this, the Polyphenols and Flavonoids contained in the tea
make the immune system stronger and more resistant to diseases.
The secret of this
ancient tea is the catechin polyphenols, especially the epigallocatechin
gallate or (EGCG). This is a powerful anti-oxidant that inhibits the growth of
cancer cells, but also kills those that are already growing. It is also
effective at lowering LDL and inhibiting the formation of blood clots. The
latter is important as thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) cases
heart attacks and stroke.
What makes this different
from other Chinese teas, is the way it is processed. The leaves are steamed
which prevents the EGCG properties from being oxidized. By contrast, other teas
made from the Camellia sinensis plant are fermented, so the ingredients are not
as effective at fighting off disease.
While there is no
significant proof that green tea is effective at helping weight loss many
people do swear by it. At any rate, its other beneficial properties help reduce
some of the negative symptoms of dieting (loss of energy, motivation, faintness
and dizziness), allowing you to complete a diet successfully.
Do you get a good overview from this miraculous drink? Green tea can helping your weight loss program also can be an anti-aging drink.
