Introduction
Green
tea is often referred to and understood as herbal tea. This particular
herbal tea contains a blend of three teas: Puerh (Pu-erh), Sencha and
Wuyi Cliff Oolong (Wu Long). Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in
the world, following water.
Green tea is rich in
polyphenols. Polyphenols are chemical with powerful antioxidant
properties and are classified as catechins. Green tea contains six
primary catechin compounds, including epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
Many studies are beginning to confirm the health benefits of drinking
herbal tea regularly. Here you will discover five major health benefits
of this scientifically blended green tea:
Helps Weighloss
This
unique blend of tea containing Pu erh, Sencha and Wu-Long leaves have
the most powerful concentration of polyphenols which help to stimulate
thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is the process which burns calories. Green
tea with caffeine has been shown to increase thermogenesis by 28%,
thereby increasing fat burn.
As a morning beverage, green tea has a
nominal amount of calories compared to most usual beverages such as
regular tea and coffee that most people drink. The simplest way to lose
those extra inches on the waistline would be to substitute your regular
beverages to this flavoursome tea.
Prevention of Cancer
The
Oolong Chinese tea, whose leaves are only partially oxidized gives it a
rich floral flavour. It's these whole leaves of Wu Long which provide
the added concentration of polyphenols.
The harmful effects of free
radicals are well documented for causing cardiovascular diseases, aging
and cancer. The antioxidant properties of polyphenols help to mop up
free radicals and help kill cancerous cells and stop them from growing.
In a clinical study, the results suggested that women under the age of
50 who consumed three or more cups of green tea per day were 37% less
likely to develop breast cancer compared to women who didn't drink tea.
Promotes Healthy Teeth
Fluoride
is a natural compounds which gets accumulated in tea leaves over time,
so the oldest leaves contain the most, while the youngest contain the
least. The fluoride kills the bacteria in the mouth that causes plaque.
Fluoride helps to maintain healthy, cavity-free teeth. Pu erh tea is
rich in magnesium which helps in forming healthy teeth and bones. Even
drinking 7 eight-ounce cups of green tea every day, your fluoride intake
would still be within the "safe zone". Of course, it also means that
when consuming this healthy green tea, you are less likely to consume
sugar laden fizzy drinks which are harmful to the teeth. The oral health
of teeth can be vastly improved by regular consumption of this healthy
tea.
Lowers Cholesterol
Cardiovascular
disease is a group of diseases of the heart and the blood vessels that
can lead to a heart attack, stroke or heart failure. Green tea
containing a polyphenol, known as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)
plays a role in controlling Low-density lipoprotein (LDL or the "bad
cholesterol"). Research has shown that Green tea offers protection as it
plays an important role in reducing oxidation of LDL, thus making it
less likely to stick to artery walls. By reducing the oxidation of LDL,
this tea protects artery walls from damage and also lessens the
formation and build up of artery-clogging plaques. By maintaining a
healthy ratio of "good cholesterol" to "bad cholesterol", it is
suggested that the overall health of the body can be vastly improved by
drinking this scientifically blended tea.
Improve Brain power
A
Japanese study involving men and women aged 70+, measured their
congnitive function, which is the ability of how we learn, remember,
solve problem and pay attention. After analysing the data, it was
concluded that a higher consumption of green tea is associated with a
lower incidence of cognitive prevelance.
Conclusion
Drinking
this simple, yet powerful tea is a great way to lose weight, eliminate
free radicals within your body, lower your cholesterol and blood
pressure, fight cancer, improve your mental abilities and in turn, feel
healthier.
