The Many Benefits Of Green Tea

The health benefits of green tea have been studied extensively. Most of the health benefits of green tea are due to the high levels of polyphenols in the leaves. Most green tea is roughly 30% polyphenolic compounds by weight.

1. Green Tea Can Help You Lose Weight

Weight loss is at the top of the list of health goals for many guys, and if you’re in that group, here’s a strong case for green tea—it has been shown to increase metabolic rate and fat burning. Coupled with the caffeine, the catechins in green tea increase energy metabolism, boosting the rate that your body burns calories, even at rest. Studies have also demonstrated the ability of green tea to promote fat loss, particularly in the abdominal area, even in the absence of a significant calorie deficit.

2. Green Tea Reduces Inflammation

Green tea is rich in a compound called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is well documented to have anti-inflammatory properties. Topical application of green tea extract has been shown to improve inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis, and green tea consumption has been found to reduce arthritis pain. Furthermore, many of the disease-fighting benefits of green tea are due to the anti-inflammatory effects of the EGCG.

3. Green Tea Reduces the Risk of Certain Cancers

Green tea is full of antioxidants, which act as free radical scavengers and reduce oxidative damage in the body. In doing so, antioxidants can prevent some of the cellular damage that can lead to certain cancers. Green tea consumption has been associated with reducing the risk of breast, bladder, stomach, ovarian, lung, colorectal, skin, prostate, and esophageal cancers.

Research has concluded that green tea can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. This is thought to be attributable to the polyphenols in green tea, which can lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation, improve epithelial function, and lower cholesterol, all of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Some studies have found an inverse correlation between green tea consumption and diabetes risk. Green tea may help regulate blood sugar levels and increase insulin sensitivity, thus improving glycemic control.

Ocotber Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Every October, people all over the world show their support for everyone affected by breast cancer. New research suggests that drinking coffee after breast cancer treatment may improve survival. The study, funded by AICR, adds to a growing body of research on how diet affects breast cancer survivors’ health.

Drinking over three cups of coffee a day was associated with a 25 percent lower risk of dying from breast cancer compared to non-coffee drinkers during the course of the study. Drinking over two cups of daily coffee linked to a similar lower risk of dying from any cause.

Three cups of daily tea after diagnosis was also associated with a 26 percent lower risk of dying from any cause compared with non-drinkers. These links showed after taking into account breast cancer treatment, BMI, physical activity and other factors that can affect survival.

This study shows a correlation, and that coffee and tea can contribute to a healthy diet, but it does not point to the beverage alone increasing survival. The findings add to the evidence showing the benefits of coffee while reassuring those breast cancer survivors who have a coffee-drinking habit, the paper concludes.

Coffee contains caffeine and other phytochemicals well studied in lab research for controlling cancer cell growth. Coffee’s compounds may affect survival by reducing high levels of insulin and inflammation
