Green Tea

You could boost the health giving benefits of your daily cuppa by switching to green tea. This is the same type of tea as your standard tea bags (from the camellia sinensis plant) but the leaves are prepared differently so that more of the beneficial chemicals are retained. This means that green tea has far more health benefits than black tea.

Green Tea Research

You may have heard a lot about green tea already. The powerful healing effects of this plant have been known for thousands of years. Ancient Chinese healers made use of the medicinal benefits of green tea to treat a wide number of conditions from stress through to impotency.

In modern times the health benefits of green tea are being proved by scientific research. There have been a vast number of studies carried out on green tea throughout the world. Notable studies have included the 1994 epidemiological study carried out by the National Cancer Institute. This study was prompted by the disparities between numbers of cases of esophageal cancer in Eastern and Western countries.

For many years green tea has been linked to the prevention of cancer. Scientists wanted to find out if this was true and whether it could be the reason why esophageal cancer figures were so much lower in Eastern countries were green tea was commonly drunk. The 1994 results were very enlightening. It was found that drinking green tea reduced the risks of esophageal cancer by as much as 60%. This was followed by research from the University of Purdue that also concluded that compounds found in green tea inhibited cancerous cells in the body.

Green Tea for Overall Health

There have other been numerous tests and studies over the years that have proved time and again the health giving benefits of drinking green tea. Conditions that can be treated with green tea include:

High cholesterol levels
Infections
Impaired immune function
Rheumatoid arthritis
Cardiovascular disease
Obesity
Green tea is thought to provide health giving effects because it contains rich levels in catechin polyphenols. These are powerful anti-oxidant chemicals that can inhibit the growth of cancer cells (without harming health tissue) and boost the body’s own natural healing processes.
