In this video I will discuss
Health Benefits of Green Tea
As medical researchers continue to uncover the health benefits of green tea,
One might think that these discoveries are of recent origin
In fact, the Western world s growing interest in
Green tea s disease-preventive effects tends to overshadow
What Asian cultures have known for thousands of years:
That green tea is one of nature s most potent agents in
Protecting the body against a host of illnesses
In other words, westerner culture is just rediscovering what easterners have long ago figured out
Asian populations that regularly consume green tea have lower overall rates of cancer
In 1994, researchers from the Shanghai Cancer Institute compared
Green tea drinkers to non-drinkers in a large population study in China
They found that in non-smokers, drinking green tea was associated with fewer cancers of the esophagus
People in China and Japan have always had lower incidences of heart disease
When compared to their Western counterparts
Most scientists now accept that
Green tea is at least in part responsible for this discrepancy
Results from human studies over the past few decades show that
Green tea consumption is correlated with lower levels of cholesterol
Thus modulating one risk factor for cardiovascular disease
A study of heart disease risk in men showed that
A higher dietary intake of flavonoids, primarily from tea,
Was associated with decreased mortality from coronary heart disease
Higher flavonoid intake was also
Correlated with a decreased incidence of myocardial infarction, or heart attack
In summary, consumption of green tea is a proven dietary intervention that
Lowers the risk of heart disease
(the number 1 cause of death) and
Thus offers real hope to those seeking to live longer, disease-free lives
