Super health benefits of green tea

You've probably heard about the benefits of drinking tea, especially green tea. Tea has been known around the world for thousands of years as longevity "of drinks. Tea has been drunk in China since at least 3000 BC. Tea is part of the plant Camellia Sinensis, and comes as black tea, which is fully oxidized, green tea, which is anti-rust, and oolong, which is partially oxidized.

Green tea has been raised, and Young, healthy leaves, dark green, and then gently steamed, keeping their green color and potent phytonutrients intact. All tea, however, is rich in tannin, flavinols, polyphenols, and several vitamins: vitamin C, vitamin P, K and vitamin B. True tea contains caffeine, but in lower amounts than it is in the coffee. It is well known to help banish fatigue, increase energy levels and increase mental powers.

Researchers at the University of California Berkeley have found that green tea is a great antioxidant scavenger, reducing free radicals in the body. Antioxidants appear to reduce or prevent damage cell that occurs from exposure to excess oxygen, creating a barrier around cell tissue. Those who receive large amounts of antioxidants in the diet appears to be able to slow the aging process and prevent or at least postpone the development of many chronic, degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes *.

moderate consumption appears to promote good blood circulation, so if you have strong adrenals, caffeine in tea in moderation might actually be good for you. Green tea has much less caffeine than black tea no. Although it contains caffeine, tea seems to act as a sedative nervous, and can relieve headaches *. The tea also acts as a diuretic, and as such, can promote better kidney function *.

Researchers University of California have also found both oolong and green tea to help prevent atherosclerosis, which leads to heart disease. Green tea has been shown in many studies to prevent cancer, and inhibit the development of precancerous lesions as well.

The plant Camellia Sinensis is known to be antibacterial and antiviral *. So you can use your tea to go directly to cuts and burns as well, including sunburn. And when he was drunk or taken as a extract, apparently to help boost immune function *, probably because of its antimicrobial action.

Green tea is in fact the inexhaustible source of drink, and also contains polyphenols which have been shown to support healthy blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels *. Have also been shown that protects the DNA damage that comes from chemicals and radiation as well. This means that drinking green tea, and / or taking green tea extracts, can be very useful for all who are exposed to more and more chemicals in our modern world. If you live near a nuclear power plant, fly a lot ( which are exposed to high levels of cosmic rays), or are undergoing radiation therapy, you may want to consider adding green tea or an extract green tea in your diet.

Green tea extracts can be very powerful, such as antioxidants and polyphenols can concentrate, without the caffeine. However, you want to make sure you get a brand that preserves polyphenols, as some green tea extracts did not really have much of this most important part of the green tea in them. It is recommended to about 100 mg of polyphenols per serving. If you can find one that is nanized, or breaks into very small particles, you will be able digest and absorb more nutrients, even if your digestive system is somehow compromised, as many of us.

Last but not least, Green tea is known for its thermogenic effect, which means you can help your body burn calories. One study showed that three 90 mg green tea extract caused an additional 266 calories burned every day. So if you're trying to lose weight, the addition of green tea or green tea extract can be just the ticket to help with your weight loss .*

The components of the diet Greens

When asked, type diet or healthy eating practices I preach is a diet that I call "The diet of the Greens." In fact, I ran into him at a meeting by Anonymous compulsive eater. It consists of:

12 oz of protein (chicken, fish, preferably salmon)

1 fruit a day (at least)
20 oz of Green leafy vegetables:

Beet tops (red and green leaves)

Kale

Spinach

Chard

Chard

Mustard greens

Other vegetables include turnips, parsnips, jicama, green beans, winter squash and summer

I tell my friends my family and my patients, at least to incorporate the features of the Diet Greens in your diet, if not completely replace their diets. I recommend green vegetables above are the type of blade and brassicas. Fresh is always better, but if a particular vegetable is in season, by all means, there are many things in the freezer of your local supermarket. If the choice is between frozen or none at all, I would go with frozen.

Green Benefits
The benefits of the leaf green plant components are infinite. Kale primarily include vitamin K, A, C and manganese. It is also rich in dietary fiber, calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. Some studies Kale list that helps prevent cancer, nutrients neutralize potentially carcinogenic substances. The International Journal of lists of cancer than those consuming cruciferous vegetables kale and others have a lower incidence of lung cancer, colon, breast and ovarian cancers.

Spinach, as Kale is another vegetable high in vitamins K, A, C, B6, E, folic acid, manganese, iron and potassium. Spinach helps protect against heart disease, arthritis, and the type of cancer, it helps protect against is the colon. Chard, such as spinach and kale are also rich in vitamin K, A, C, E and folic acid, manganese. Research has indicated that helps with bone health and cancer that are protected against the digestive tract. Because Chard is an excellent source of magnesium, which helps regulate nerve and muscle tone, balancing the action of calcium. insufficient magnesium can contribute to hypertension. such as kale and spinach, Chard is an excellent source of vitamin C and E. has powerful antioxidants that help to battle free radicals that cause cell damage. Not having enough antioxidants in body can result in inflammatory diseases like arthritis. Vitamin C is also essential for immunity, excellent for preventing the common cold.

All greens and squashes mentioned above are excellent sources of fiber shown to reduce high cholesterol levels which in turn help prevent atherosclerosis. Also has shown that fiber helps to maintain levels of blood sugar low, so useful to people with type 2 diabetes. For example green bulky, and pumpkins in the diet today gives one a feeling of fullness and contributes to weight loss. I've seen in my older patients. Some of my patients tout 3.1 lb / week loss. A few of above plants contain proteins, but this diet includes Greens 12 oz of protein a day and I recommend the fish, and if possible, salmon. Salmon is a great source of omega oils, good for the heart, brain, skin, and vital in reducing high cholesterol levels. These greens, and squash are easily available in supermarkets in your neighborhood. Remember to add yellow, and green squashes. Low-carb, and sugar, which add texture to the green. The most common type of squash are summer squash or winter. When selecting your pumpkin, summer squash should be fairly heavy for its size, and free of stains. pumpkins Winter is usually sold immature.Remember, think dark green and yellow. In the theory of five elements of Chinese medicine, pumpkins are basically yellow, represent the Earth, the body, the pancreas. In the theory of Chinese medicine, is the pancreas that converts food and drinks in the qi (energy), and in blood.

It is possible to bleach the greens, keeping them crisp and delicious with your favorite dressing. Remember that vinegar is an astringent, keeps it in his lung Qi, the energy of breathing. For frozen vegetables, see the instructions on the package. Remember not to overcook! Feel free to decorate with nuts. Squash is excellent baked or steamed. Summer squash can also be mashed and served with a little butter or sour cream. Pumpkins can also be boiled before cast into the greens to cook for an additional minute or two. Spinach is a cool. Mix with other green leafy vegetables. I'm a fan of olive oil and vinegar as dressing.

In the theory of five elements Chinese medicine, colors can help recalling the internal organs that nourish us with food. Green (wood) is the liver, causing Red (fire) the heart, which leads to yellow (earth), the pancreas, which now generates white (metal), the lungs, which in turn generates for Black or Blue (water), the kidneys. One of the elements generates the following. I always remember that instead of meat, which are acidic, try to fish or algae from the ocean to feed the kidneys. fountain of life is the body the kidney. When we inhale, our lower back is moving ~ where are the kidneys, a breathing out is the lungs. In Chinese medicine, the liver is general. The liver receives blood in the body before the heart circulates. It assists the pancreas in food digestion. It also creates energy Lungs of directing in his respiratory function. A breath of the lungs. A breath taken is when the body rises from the lower back, kidney area.

Food is medicine. We are what we eat. Eat fresh, organic food.
