The Ancient POWER Behind Green Tea
The breakdown of fatty acids and sugar happens every day in your body.
And this could increase the production of free radicals which can be dangerous to the cells of your body.
Free radicals are the by-product of normal cellular metabolism and have the ability to create damage to the cells of your body.
Antioxidants have the ability to destroy free radicals before they can create a lot of damage.
With that said, most people do not get enough antioxidants from their diet to reduce free radicals and the associated damage.
By changing your diet to include more fruits and vegetables, you can increase your total antioxidant capacity, and potentially lower the levels of free radicals in your body.
Including Green tea into your daily routine may raise your antioxidant level, plus gives you other essential vitamins and minerals, needed for optimal health.
Let me explain…
Green Tea
Green tea is the second most consumed drink next to water.
Green tea could possess anti-cancer, anti-thrombotic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Plus, it has the potential to help in weight management and lowering your bad (LDL) cholesterol.
The reason: green tea is full of catechins, which are powerful antioxidants, and have been shown to scavenge free radicals.
Plus, green tea supplies one powerful nutrient, ECGC, which could have the ability to prevent certain forms of cancer.
In fact, green tea holds more antioxidants than other types of tea, including black teas and Oolong teas.
The reason: when you oxidize green tea leaves this can cause the leaves to turn black.
And this can cause the catechins from green tea leaves to be altered, turning these flavonoids into more complex type of type of antioxidant.
This could potentially reduce the antioxidant power of black tea, therefore lowering the amount of antioxidants you could be drinking.
Not only does green tea supply plenty of antioxidants, but it can supply vitamins A, C and E which are also powerful antioxidants.
And this could enhance the power that Green tea has on free radicals.
Green Tea and Free Radicals
Free radicals are associated with many different health problems.
Free radical damage can increase inflammation and damage your cellular DNA.
They can also attack your cell walls, potentially increasing the oxidation of your cell wall.
Also, free radicals possess the ability to oxidize your LDL cholesterol.
This enables LDL cholesterol to travel through your artery wall.
And this could increase platelet accumulation, leading to increased hypertension and heart disease.
Free radicals could also damage your DNA, speeding up the aging process.
Exposure to ultraviolet rays can also increase free radicals and an overproduction of melanin by your skin.
This could lead to freckles, sun spots or other age related skin blemishes.
However, the antioxidants found in green tea, potentially can destroy free radicals, which may slow the aging process significantly.
The Power Of Green Tea
Green tea has been used in traditional Chinese culture for thousands of years as a potent health drink.
And the power of green tea has not gone unnoticed by our western culture.
In the US, more people are increasing their green tea consumption to promote better heart health, reduce free radical damage and slow the aging process and increase vitality and longevity.
