Tea – a health drink; if I had said it some years before the introduction of GREEN TEA you all might had called me crazy or mad. But now green tea needs no introduction. We came to know about this green tea very late. But it’s true that Chinese people were well aware about green tea from ancient time. In china there is a proverb that “Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea of one” They were using the tea as a cure of headache to depression. Now it has spread to all parts of the world & became synonymous to health drink. Over the last few decades green tea has undergone many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long health benefits. Some evidence suggests that regular green tea drinkers may have lower chances of heart disease and contracting certain types of cancer. Green tea is supposed to be helpful in various health disorders also * Rheumatoid arthritis * High cholesterol levels * Cardiovascular disease * Infection * Impaired immune function. Green tea is the super tea as it is least processed and provides the most antioxidant polyphenols,notably a catechin called epigallocatechin – 3- gallate (EGCG), which is responsible for most of the health benefits. * It not just inhibits the growth of cancer cells but also helps in killing those dangerous cells without harming any healthy cell. The greenish - yellow tea has a green, slightly astringent flavor close to the taste of the fresh leaf. * Green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol. Moreover, it inhibits the abnormal formation of blood clots which is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke. Green tea represses angiotensin 2 which leads to high blood pressure & reduces the possibilities of heart attacks. * Green tea can even help in preventing tooth decay. As the bacteria destroying abilities of green tea helps in preventing food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that cause dental plague. * Green tea drinkers have lower risk for a wide range of diseases, from simple bacterial or viral infections to chronic disease including cardiovascular disease, stroke periodontal diseases and osteoporosis * Green tea helps a lot in lowering down the sugar level in a body so its very good for a person who is suffering from diabetes. It will help them in controlling their sugar level without any extra effort. The polyphenols presents in green tea extract reduces the amount of amylase produced by conversion of starch into sugar and hence the levels of sugar in the blood also decrease. * One of the great advantages of drinking green tea is still there & I know after listing about this reason you will surely have a hot green tea. That advantage is weight loss. All those who wants to be slim, smart & gorgeous will enjoy the green tea because it is natural & don’t have any side effect. o As green tea helps in burning the fat & increasing the metabolism naturally due to the presence of catechin polyphenols. It lowers down the cholesterol & enhance fat oxidation o Green tea catechin helps in preventing obesity by inhibiting the movement of glucose in fact cells o EGCG-a powerful antioxidant with positive qualities is important for any weight loss program but a balanced diet and regular exercise are also important.

It also helps in getting relief from influenza and diarrhea, improves bone structure and delays the onset of osteoporosis. o As all other tea it helps in getting relief from depression and headache which is a usual problem of a common man in this busy world.

If not yet decided, decide it fast to get the advantage as earlier as possible and get rid of all your health problems. DR DEEPTI RAMCHANDANI CONSULTING HOMOEOPATH AND DIETICIAN CONTACT NO 9819449004
