Since its first\u003cbr\u003erecorded use during the time of Emperor Shen Nung, the link between Chinese diet green\u003cbr\u003etea and good health has never been severed. It’s been used as treatment for everything\u003cbr\u003efrom headaches to depression. Today, various health benefits of green tea are constantly\u003cbr\u003ebeing reported and many scientists are now focusing their attention on the simple, yet\u003cbr\u003eelegantly profound beverage that is green tea.\u003cbr\u003eLike all three of the major Asian teas in the market, green tea comes from the plant called\u003cbr\u003eCarmellia sinensis. Much of the health benefits of green tea diets owe to the steaming\u003cbr\u003emethod of making it. As opposed to black and oolong tea which undergoes full\u003cbr\u003eoxidization, green tea diet is only gently steamed, preserving the natural antioxidants in\u003cbr\u003eits original form.\u003cbr\u003eThe antioxidants in green tea helps fight away free radicals. These free radicals are the\u003cbr\u003emajor contributing factors to aging as well as the ensuing degeneration of cells as a result\u003cbr\u003eof it. Scientists have reason to believe that free radicals also play a role in various\u003cbr\u003edegenerative diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism, Alzheimer’s disease, and even\u003cbr\u003ecancer.\u003cbr\u003eAccording to tradition, Chinese diet green tea could cure anything from headaches, body\u003cbr\u003eaches, and pains to constipation and depression. Over the centuries, further more health\u003cbr\u003eclaims are made on account of Chinese diet green tea.\u003cbr\u003eChinese diet green tea is said to increase the blood flow throughout the body. Because\u003cbr\u003eChinese diet green tea contains a little caffeine, ingesting this drink stimulates the heart\u003cbr\u003eand allows the blood to flow more freely through the blood vessels. For the same reason\u003cbr\u003ethat Chinese diet green tea stimulates blood flow, it also stimulates mental clarity.\u003cbr\u003eChinese diet green tea detoxifies the body. The presence of polyphenols, a naturally\u003cbr\u003eoccurring antioxidant in Chinese diet green tea, the beverage is said to combat harmful\u003cbr\u003efree radicals and help keep the body free from diseases. In this regard, Chinese diet green\u003cbr\u003etea helps maintain the overall well-being of the body. Antioxidants in Chinese diet green\u003cbr\u003etea can boost immunity, preserve young-looking skin, and brighten the eyes.\u003cbr\u003eChinese diet green tea aids in digestion and banishes fatigue. Chinese diet green tea is\u003cbr\u003ealso said to prolong the lifespan.\u003cbr\u003eFor many years, men of science remained skeptical about the health claims made by\u003cbr\u003eChinese diet green tea enthusiasts. Their doubt was changed to a more positive reception\u003cbr\u003ewhen subsequent researchers proved the disease-preventing attributes of Chinese diet\u003cbr\u003egreen tea and confirmed most of the health claims.\u003cbr\u003e3\u003cbr\u003eThe Secret to Longevity?\u003cbr\u003eThat just might be.\u003cbr\u003eThe role of Chinese diet green tea in promoting longevity has been investigated upon by\u003cbr\u003emany researchers. They found the premise of their study on observing that Japanese\u003cbr\u003ewomen who are greater-than-average Chinese diet green tea drinkers; have lower\u003cbr\u003emortality rates compared to others. This led the researchers to believe that Chinese diet\u003cbr\u003egreen tea has “a protective factor against premature death.”\u003cbr\u003eThe polyphenols found in Chinese diet green tea may be held accountable. With its high\u003cbr\u003eamount of polyphenols, Chinese diet green tea seems to have a stimulating effect on the\u003cbr\u003eimmune system. Stronger immune system as a result of drinking Chinese diet green tea\u003cbr\u003ehelps reduce risks of acquiring any illnesses.\u003cbr\u003eGreen Tea Health Benefits\u003cbr\u003eGreen tea has more health benefits compared to other Chinese teas like oolong and black\u003cbr\u003etea, all of which come from the plant Camellia sinensis. What makes green tea different\u003cbr\u003eis the process by which it is made. Green tea owes much of its health benefits to how the\u003cbr\u003eCamellia sinensis leaves are steamed. The steam process keeps the EGCG health benefit\u003cbr\u003eof green tea from oxidizing. With oolong and black teas, however, the leaves are\u003cbr\u003efermented instead of being steamed, thus causing the EGCG health benefit to transform\u003cbr\u003einto another less medicinally potent form.\u003cbr\u003eThe rich presence of catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)\u003cbr\u003eis the reason why green tea has so much health benefits. A powerful antioxidant, EGCG\u003cbr\u003ecan not only inhibit the growth of cancer cells but can also destroy them without harming\u003cbr\u003ehealthy cells. The EGCG in green tea is a health benefit substance that can lower down\u003cbr\u003eLDL cholesterol levels and stop blood from forming abnormal clots (thrombosis), a\u003cbr\u003eleading cause of heart attacks and strokes.\u003cbr\u003eAside from medicinal value, green tea can also offer other health benefits, especially in\u003cbr\u003ethe fitness field.
