Research shows that green tea components such as a powerful antioxidant that free radicals that cause degenerative diseases in human organs, including the frequency of various types of cancer, including esophagus, stomach, pancreas, colon, rectum can combat, contain, bladder, prostate and lung as well as breast cancer.
In general, the benefits of green tea:
1 Antioxidant
Antioxidant properties of green tea leaf may protect DNA from cellsOxidative damage from free radical attack and thus the growth of wild cells or benign tumors can be prevented.
2 To avoid a positive effect on cardiovascular disease and heart disease.
Epidemiological studies suggest that those who drink four cups of green tea per day or more have a lower risk for atherosclerosis concerned (atherosclerosis) and heart disease Coronas green. The reduction in LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and raise HDL (good cholesterol) and lower serum total cholesterol and totalTriglycerides.
3 It stimulates weight loss
Green tea increases the ability to burn fat in the body and plays an important role in weight control in the human body.
4 Prevention of Helicobacter pylori, the cause of abdominal pain.
H. pylori is a deadly bacterial disease causes gastritis and other digestive tract, including cancer. The components of green tea, ECGC healing is particularly effective against infection by H. pylori. Polyphenols from green tea stimulates the growth ofbeneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium have been shown to increase immunity. In addition, it reduced the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Clostridium perfrigens, Clostridium difficile, but also the bacteria Escherichia coli.
5 Renal protection against the formation of toxins.
Metilguanidin is the cause of various diseases such as anorexia (loss of appetite), ulcers (gastric and duodenal ulcers), neuropathy (disease of the nervous system) and anemia (lack of red blood cells).Polyphenols in green tea suppress the production of visible metilguanidin metilguanidin serum levels of decline in blood after drinking green tea for some time.
6 Deodorisasi effect in the mouth.
Sulfur compounds in the mouth such as methyl sulfide, and some formed as a result of protein degradation by enzymes and bacteria cause bad breath (halitosis) after each meal. Green tea leaf could significantly reduce the symptoms of bad breath.
7 Pemburaman slowdown inProcess cataract lens.
Cataracts presumably by the formation of peroxide oxidizing reactive species (eg free radicals) that attack the cells so that the lens gradually opaque. Components of ECGC in green tea was able to stop this process by pressing pemburaman increased formation of peroxides.
8 Anti-virus and anti-microbial.
Green tea has been able, with the cells of the human protein biosynthesis viruses that may be useful to prevent or treat influenza are differentDisorders, viruses, DNA viruses including pathogens: adenovirus, herpes, smallpox and RNA viruses: retroviruses (HIV / AIDS). Several types of retroviruses and herpes viruses are also encouraging the growth of cancer. The most common symptoms of viral infection that causes fever, weakness, loss of appetite and food poisoning. In addition to avoiding the mention of the synthesis of DNA and RNA, green tea extract is also anti-viral against influenza virus, herpes simplex, Coxsackie virus B6 andPoliomyelitis. The conclusion that green tea has shown the ability to withstand the "bacteria
Cytotoxicity "(toxicity in a cell by bacteria) and the ability to fight viruses and bacteria.
9 Do not damage the cells by a chemical process.
Eating habits and lifestyles that affect health such as eating lots of fat, spices, and also stimulate because of drinking, smoking, alcohol, and eating less fruit and vegetables of various health problems due to degeneration. These diseases areHypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease, stroke and cancer. Running time Prevention Chemical (chemo) treatment of cancer in a different way, because their main objective is to reduce the risk of the possibility of cancer. Therefore, a healthy lifestyle, dietary supplements are antikarsinogen that contain substances in the daily diet.
10 Protect your skin from UV rays.
Content of polyphenols in green tea can prevent cancer and inflammation of the skin. When appliedon the skin, was the skin from UV rays and substances that stimulate tumor on the skin to be protected. These benefits are achieved when green tea leaf was drunk. At this point, the current protection cream for the skin of ultraviolet rays that green tea contains components like epigallo.
11 Avoid damage to the lungs than tobacco.
Leaf of drinking green tea prevents cancer of the lungs caused by carcinogens contained in tobacco, nitrosamines various compounds.
12The protection of the heart
As an antioxidant, free radicals that cause damage
Cells increased the activity of enzymes, green tea body defense superoksid dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase and catalase to protect the liver, lungs, skin, mammary glands and digestive system.
13 Protection from acute pancreatitis.
Controlled study of a large number of residents in Shanghai have shown the risk of cancer of the colon, rectum and pancreas is reduced. After that polyphenols from greenTea up to 500 mg / kg of body weight per day, there was a decrease in the number of pancreatic cancer.
14 Maintain a healthy esophagus
Esophageal cancer is the 9 of many cancers arise in the world. Approximately 300,000 new cases are reported each year, while 80% of them occur in developing countries. As with other types of cancer, green tea can prevent, if taken regularly.
15 The protection of the skin layer of the stomach.
Epidemiological studies have also shown that those whoregularly drank green tea leaf at low risk of developing cancer in the skin layer of the stomach. This is because the ability of EGCG to prevent cancer in the gastric glands.
16 Preventing the growth of prostate and breast cancers.
Reports from different countries in Asia have shown a slight cases of prostate cancer and breast cancer in an area that has a habit of drinking green tea every day.
17 Protect Memory
Green tea also seems to keep the brain remains "clean" the risk of dementia. Adults whodrink 2 cups of green tea per day seems to be no serious cognitive problems than those who drank tea less than that amount. Why? Again because of the high doses of antioxidants contained in tea free radicals that damage brain nerve cells as they fight to occur in people with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
