For many, green tea seems just another in a long line of products relating to health, people have continued in recent years to be crazy, but it is different from any of the other so-called natural remedies?
In this article we will find out a little 'more about what happens in green tea, then we will see health claims for them, and finally we will see if any of these claims can actually supported by science.
Let's start with a very short history of the GreenTea.
There seems to be evidence of green tea in Chinese literature, dating back to 5,000 years ago, but now it seems that with the cultures in Japan, Asia, South Korea and the Middle East has met, too. It 'made its way to Europe sometime in 1600 / 1
It is said that it was not discovered by Shei Shien, who decided after tasting the juice of the leaves, they taste best mixed with water. It is also said that it was actually the discoveryCalled Emperor Shen Nung when a fallen flower tea in a cup of hot water consumed.
The sugar and the milk seems to be contributing much later, at tea.
What is green tea?
The main differences between green tea and herbal teas "are not only what they get, they are what they are out of them.
The only real connection between green tea and herbal tea is the name of 'tea'. Green tea is made exclusively from leaves of Camellia sinensis (teaTea plants) and herbs can be mixed with different things such as chamomile, lemon, lavender, flowers, citrus, mint, liquorice, orange, fennel, nettle, hibiscus, roses, wild rose, jasmine, rosemary, thyme, vetiver, valerian , willow, St. John, etc., anything other than Camellia sinensis.
A pause scientific ingredients of green tea shows that it contains caffeine, tannins, theobromine, saponin, theophylline, wax, fats, polyphenols (catechins, in particular), essentialOils, carotene, vitamin C, vitamins A, B1, B12, C and D, magnesium, fluoride, iron, calcium, strontium, copper, nickel and zinc. There are also trace elements of molybdenum and phosphorus.
I already feel thirsty.
What are the health claims that green tea made?
Some of the statements must be done so that it can help prevent or fight cancer. It 'can handle multiply sclerosis and damages the immune system. It is said to prevent Alzheimer's and Parkinson'sDisease. You can increase the risk of heart disease and tooth decay. It also helps to improve rheumatoid arthritis and your cholesterol level. There are also a number of smaller claims, such as the increase in fat oxidation and metabolism, to help with weight loss.
Are there scientific evidence to support the health benefits claimed?
There seems to be some conflicting opinions on the fact that green tea has a proven medical or health benefits.
According to Dr. Katja Boehm and colleagues (published inhttp://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/cam/green-tea-review) "... drinking green tea remains to be proven in the prevention of cancer, but appears to be safe for moderate use, regular and normal."
But the same site also reports that "Two studies in China, where green tea is a mainstay of the diet led to promising results. A study of over 18,000 men, found that tea drinkers [were developing sic] about half the chances of stomach or esophageal cancer than men who drank little tea, evenadjusted for smoking and other factors, health and nutrition. A second study at the Dental Hospital in Beijing noted that the reduced consumption of 3 grams of tea per day, or about 2 cups, along with the application of a tea extract, the size and proliferation of leukoplakia, a precancerous plaque Oral. "(Http: / / www.cancer.gov / cancer topics / board / Prevention / tea).
So, at this time is apparently not done enough research to say conclusively that all they have sustained onlythat does not appear to cause further damage. Some of the things that they are known to be of benefit to you so that antioxidants, so are the chances that could have some positive effect on you.
So we have not. We found that green tea and herbal tea could be described as pure tea generic, in that it can be mixed with other plants by the roots, leaves, flowers and bark can, but does not contain Camellia sinensis. We have heard some of the health benefits that drinkingis up to you, and we saw that the scientific evidence is currently very uncertain.
Based on this, you are going to drink green tea?
