The Benefits of Tea
by Dawnya Sasse
Would you like to decrease your chance of getting prostate cancer?
How about reducing your risk of ovarian cancer?
If there’s a chance you could reduce risks of heart disease, would you take it?
How about lowering your cholesterol and boosting your immune system?
All you have to do is drink tea.
Research studies done all over the world suggests that drinking tea, either black or green, can produce amazing results with regard to health and well-being.
Maximum health benefits come from drinking four to five cups of tea per day, a healthy consumption of the liquid that supplies the body with up to 36% of our antioxidant intake.
Antioxidants are responsible for the production of a phytochemical called EGCG. This chemical neutralizes “free radical” oxygen molecules and repairs damages to cells.
The prevention of cancer seems like a huge claim, but more and more research pours in attesting to just such a benefit of tea-drinking. The risks of prostate cancer and ovarian cancer have been found to be lowered by the consumption of tea.
The Journal of Cancer Research found that drinking green tea inhibits both the growth of blood vessels that feed the tumors as well as the tumors themselves.
A University of Wisconsin study related that green and white teas may kill precancerous cells through their ability to stimulate the liver and detoxify carcinogens.
Australia’s Curtin University looked at the tea-drinking habits of Chinese men and Australian men and determined men who regularly drank green tea reduced their risk of prostate cancer by two-thirds.
But the benefits of tea-drinking are not confined to cancer prevention. Tea-drinkers also have healthier hearts.
The University of Wisconsin study connected tea drinking to a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. A similar study was the Zutphen elderly Study, performed in the Netherlands in 1993 which found that elderly men had a 68% reduction in cardiovascular illness if they drank black tea.
Another finding discovered by U. S. Department of Agriculture research suggested that five servings of black tea per day can reduce “bad” cholesterol by as much as 11.1% and total cholesterol by 6.5% in people with mildly elevated cholesterol readings.
Amazingly, drinking even one cup of tea per day resulted in a 44% reduction in heart attacks, a finding contributed by Brigham Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston after studying 340 men and women who had suffered heart attacks.
The consumption of tea has also been linked to weight loss, improvement of oral health, lowering of high blood pressure and improved alertness and mental health.
If you value your health, it’s not a bad thing to be called a tea-totaler!
