Research on green tea proves that contains the components therein as a powerful antioxidant that can counteract the free radicals attack the causes of degeneration disorders in human organs, including the emergence of various types of cancer, including the esophagus (food inlet to the stomach), stomach, pancreas, colon, rectum, bladder, prostate, and even lung and breast.
Green tea is much recommended for consumption because the benefits are great. In general, the benefits of green tea:
1. Activity as antioxidants
Antioxidant properties of green tea could protect DNA of cells from free radical oxidation damage attack and thus the growth of wild cells or benign tumor can be prevented.
2. Beneficial against cardiovascular disease & Prevent heart disease.
Epidemiological studies (studies the causes of disease in populations) indicates that those who drank four cups of green tea per day or more smaller risk of having atherosclerosis (blocked arteries) and heart disease green koroner.Teh reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) and raise HDL ( good cholesterol) and lower total serum cholesterol and total triglycerides.
3. Stimulate weight loss.
Green tea increases the incidence of burning body fat and plays an important role in controlling the composition of the human body.
4. Preventing the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, the cause of abdominal pain.
H. pylori is a bacterial cause of gastritis and deadly gastrointestinal disease, including cancer. Component of green tea, especially ECGC healing effect against H. pylori infection is. Polyphenols from green tea stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are proven to enhance immunity. In addition, reducing the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Clostridium perfrigens, Clostridium difficle, even the bacteria Escherichia coli.
5. Renal protection from the formation of uremic toxins.
Metilguanidin is trending cause diseases such as anorexia (poor appetite), ulcers (peptic ulcers), neuropathy (nervous system disorders) and anemia (deficiency of red blood). Polyphenols in green tea suppress the production of metilguanidin as seen from the decreasing levels of serum metilguanidin in blood after drinking green tea for some time.
6. Deodorisasi effect in the mouth.
Sulfur compounds formed in the mouth like methylmercaptan and some sulfide as a result of decomposition of proteins by enzymes and bacteria cause bad breath (halitosis) after meals. Green tea can reduce significantly the symptoms of this halitosis.
7. Slowing the process of blurring of the lens in cataract.
Cataract allegedly arising from the formation of reactive oxidant species peroxide (such as free radicals) that attack the cells so that the lens gradually becomes opaque. Components of ECGC in green tea was able to stop this blurring process by pressing the increase in the formation of peroxides.
8. Indicate the nature of anti-virus and anti-microbial.
Green tea was able to influence the biosynthesis of virus proteins with human cells, so it can be useful to prevent or treat various disorders caused by viruses, including pathogenic DNA viruses: adenovirus, herpes, smallpox, as well as RNA viruses: retroviruses (HIV causes / AIDS). Several types of retrovirus and herpes are also stimulates the growth of cancer. Common symptoms caused by viral infection are fever, fatigue, poor appetite and poisoning. In addition to the prevention of DNA and RNA synthesis above, extracts of green tea also are antiviral against influenza viruses, herpes simplex, Coxsackie virus B6 and polio. It was concluded that green tea showed the ability against the "bacterial
cytotoxicity "(toxicity in the cell by the bacteria) and the ability to fight viruses and bacteria.
9. Prevent damage to cells through a chemical process.
Eating and lifestyle habits that interfere with health such as eating lots of fat, spices and pickles that stimulate and also smoke, drink alcohol and eat less vegetables and fruits cause various health problems due to degeneration. These disorders include hypertension (high blood pressure), heart problems, stroke and cancer. Prevention of Chemical Terms (Chemoprevention) differ with Cancer Therapy because here the main objective is to reduce the risk of the possibility of cancer. Because it is in a healthy lifestyle, foods and supplements that contain substances antikarsinogen must exist in the daily diet.
10. Protects the skin against ultraviolet light.
The content of polyphenols in green tea can prevent cancer and inflammation in the skin. If applied to the skin, he was able to protect the skin from UV rays and substances that stimulate the tumor to the skin. These benefits are also obtained when green tea is drunk. At this time there was a protective skin cream against ultra-violet rays that contain green tea components called epigallo.
11. Prevent damage to the lungs by tobacco.
Drinking green tea prevents the occurrence of tumors in the lungs caused by carcinogens in tobacco content, the various compounds nitrosamines.
12. Protecting the liver
As antioxidants that fight free radicals that cause damage
cells, green tea increases the activity of the enzymes the body's defense superoksid dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase and catalase which protects the liver, lungs, skin, mammary glands and digestive system.
13. Protects against acute pancreatitis.
Controlled studies of a large number of residents in Shanghai showed reduced risk of colon cancer, rectum and pancreas. After treatment with polyphenols from green tea as much as 500 mg / kg body weight per day, was a decline in the number of those affected by pancreatic cancer.
14. Keeping healthy esophagus
Esophageal cancer was ranked the ninth of cancer that frequently occur in the world. Approximately 300,000 new cases reported each year while 80% of them occur in developing countries. As against other cancer types, green tea can prevent it if taken regularly.
15. Protecting the skin layer of the stomach.
Epidemiological studies also show that those who drink green tea regularly at low risk of skin cancer in the lining of the stomach. This is because the ability of EGCG to prevent cancer in glands on the surface of the stomach.
16. Prevent the growth of prostate and breast tumors.
Reports from several countries in Asia showed low level of prostate and breast cancer cases in areas that have a habit of drinking green tea daily.
17. Protect your memory
Green tea seems to also keep the brain remain 'sharp' from the danger of dementia. Adults who drink green tea at least two cups a day appear to have no serious cognitive problems than those who drank tea less than that amount. Why? Once again because of high doses of antioxidants contained in tea to combat free radicals are potentially damaging to the brain like those seen in patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
18. Constructor ageless
Well this is the most important of the younger and healthier your arteries, so the impact you are also getting looks healthier and younger. So fight plaque that accumulate in the blood vessels that would increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Add biological age and energy by consuming green tea. How many doses should be consumed? About 10 ounces of green tea per day which will hinder the body absorb fat and cholesterol that clog arteries.
