Weight Loss And Many Other Health Benefits
Today's Baby Boomers are at the age where health concerns
are at an all time high. People are more conscious about
health issues and maintaining good health than ever before.
One great substance I have found to help me with depression
and very low energy in the winter time is Green Tea. By
drinking green tea my energy levels have increased
dramatically. When I drink green tea on a regular basis I
find I lose weight as a bonus.
In my studies I have found that Green tea has many health
benefits one such as: reduces the risk of cancer by
keeping the cells healthy. Drinking Green tea every day
has antioxidants that help lose weight, reduces stress,
stops depression, calms nerves, lowers cholesterol, lowers
blood pressure and increases metabolism.
If you find that you do not like the blah flavor of
traditional Chinese Green tea you will be happy to know
that it comes in many different flavors.
Green Tea has been around for 4000 to 5000 years and was
always known for its healing properties. It has just come
to light in recent years. Next to water Green Tea is one
of the three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world.
Traditional medicine has used Green tea in areas such as
India, China, Japan and Thailand to help everything from
controlling bleeding and helping heal wounds to regulating
body temperature, blood sugar and promoting digestion.
What is the Secret to Green Tea you may ask? Well, Green
Tea is charged with active natural ingredients called
polyshenols, which are powerful antioxidants. These
antioxidants in Green Tea fight your body's free radicals.
These chemicals are believed to be linked to destroying the
cell DNA which leads to cancer. Green tea and extracts,
have been used to prevent and treat a variety of cancers,
including breast, skin and stomach cancers. The
antioxidants in Green Tea help block cancer by keeping the
DNA to the cells safe. Green tea is usually brewed and
drank as a beverage. Green tea extracts can be taken in
capsules and are sometimes used in skin products.
Tooth decay! is even prevented by drinking green tea.
Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent
food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes
dental plaque. Green tea and green tea extracts have also
been used for improving mental alertness, aiding in weight
loss, lowering cholesterol levels, and protecting skin from
sun damage. To my knowledge the only negative side effect
reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the
fact that it contains caffeine and can cause anxiety,
irritability, upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, or frequent
urination some people. Coffee contains more caffeine than
green tea and as in anything when using moderation and
common sense it is safe for most adults.
