Green Tea Information

Green tea has known to be of medicinal value for thousands of years, and the Chinese have been using it for thousands of years.

The best green tea and its extracts come from China. The first great benefit of green tea was its capacity to fight several types of cancer. Slowly it was discovered that green tea helped fight several other diseases. One of them is CHOLESTEROL.

It has to be noted that green tea has to be consumed in certain in amounts every day, and the way the green tea is consumed is also very important. At least six to seven cups of green tea must be consumed every day, for it to show any kind of reaction in the body. Green tea must also be drunk plain, and adding sugar to it will ruin the chances of it having very good effects on the body.

“The effect of green tea on cholesterol has been proved scientifically.”

A bunch of mice were fed with a high diet fat to increase the chances of cholesterol in their bodies. After a while, the mice were fed with green tea extracts, in different concentrations for a few weeks. It was noted that this lowered the levels of ‘Triglycerides’ in the blood of the mice.

The doses fed to the mice were compared to the doses that were consumed by humans in a day. It was found that if the mice consumed about fifteen cups of green tea a day as compared to the three drunk by humans, this will help reduce the level of cholesterol.

The epicatechins were responsible for this action, as they stopped the body from absorbing the cholesterol.

The energy was burned in the body, as the epicatechins helped break the triglycerides to fatty acids. Even bile salts made to be excreted from the body with the help of the epicatechins present in the green tea. Since green tea is a natural product, those consuming this drink, have no need to worry about any side effects. They may seek professional for better results, when it comes to the dosage.
