Recently it has been shown
that high quality teas have many health benefits, especially black
and green tea. With all the news on black and green tea lately, you
may be considering adding it to your daily diet regime. If that is
so, only use the best quality and freshest tea available for the
maximum health benefits.
Millions of people all of
the world have been drinking tea for centuries. In America it has
been considered a cheap convenient drink for soothing the soul and
stimulating the senses. Yet there is a far more important reason
that people drink tea more than any other beverage: the tea leaf has
potent health-enhancing powers. The Japanese have known this for
thousands of years and the modern West is just catching up to the
remarkable health benefits of drinking tea.
Some of the benefits derived
from drinking tea are reducing cholesterol, preventing tooth decay,
strengthening the immune system, helping to prevent heart disease
and stroke and reduce the risk of cancer.
The active ingredients in
black and green tea are flavonoids called polyphenols. Polyphenols
act as antioxidants in the body. This helps in reducing cell damage
that can lead to cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol and other
serious illnesses. It has been found by researchers that more than
in any other foods, tea has the most potent free-radical fighters.
There was a study done with
800 hundred men. It showed that those that ate the most flavonoids
had a 58 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease that those
that did not. Those men that consumed four cups of black tea per day
were the healthiest among the group.
In addition to that it has
been found that tea reduces tumor formation and is linked to lower
levels of breast, lung, esophageal, pancreatic, colon, skin,
stomach, liver and small intestine cancers. This makes it a worthy
consideration for adding tea to your diet.
Another startling study was
done by a team of Italian researchers on the effects of green tea on
men prone to prostate cancer. The study used 62 high risk men who
had previously had precancerous lesions, (which often turn into
prostate cancer within one year). All of the men were between the
ages of 45 and 75 exuding vegetarians and men who already consumed
green tea.
Thirty two men in the study
group where given 200 milligrams of green tea catechins, three times
per day, while the remaining men where given placebos. Biopsies
where conducted six months and one year later. Unbelievably, only
one of the 32 men in the control group developed prostate cancer,
while nine of the placebo group developed the disease. These results
were amazing, and another reason, in my humble opinion, that green
tea should be added to your diet.
In using the best quality
teas available you increase your rate of success. So if you drink
any tea, purchase only the freshest, highest quality and if you take
green tea supplements be sure that they do not have fillers or
caffeine.
For best results with black
or green teas steep for three minutes to get all of the beneficial
compounds. Yes, you can steep longer to get more compounds, but the
tea will become bitter and therefore unpalatable. Also try adding
some herbal teas, many of which can aid in digestion, cold relief,
and sleeplessness.
Drink tea for health and
longevity!
