Description
Much has been written and said
about the amazing health benefits of tea. So much in fact, that it's often
difficult to separate fact from fiction. What are the scientifically
recognized benefits of tea? The following is a brief synopsis of the
latest findings*.
Aging
If you are the type to fret over the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and
other signs of growing old, oolong tea may be the answer to your worries.
In a recent experiment carried out jointly by researchers from the US,
Taiwan and Japan, mice which were fed tea displayed fewer signs of aging
than mice that were fed water.
(The Straits Times, Sept. 24,
01).
Allergies
The wonder cup just got even more wonderful. Green tea, rich in
antioxidant treasures that protect against heart disease and cancer, now
shows promise as an allergy fighter. In laboratory tests, Japanese
researchers have found that the antioxidants in green tea, block the
biochemical process involved in producing an allergic response. Green tea
may be useful against a wide range of sneeze-starting allergens, including
pollen, pet dander, and dust. (Prevention, April 2003)
Arthritis
Green tea catechins are chondroprotective and consumption of green tea may
be prophylactic for arthritis and may benefit the arthritis patient by
reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage breakdown. (The Journal of
Nutrition, Mar 2002)
Green tea may be useful in controlling inflammation from injury or
diseases such as arthritis. (Boston Globe, April 26, 99)
Bone Strength
Tea flavonoids may be bone builders. A report in this week's Archives of
Internal Medicine looked at about 500 Chinese men and women who regularly
drank black, green, or oolong tea for more than 10 years. Compared with
nonhabitual tea drinkers, tea regulars had higher bone mineral densities,
even after exercise and calcium-which strengthen bones-were taken into
account. (U.S. News & World Report, May 20, 2002)
Cancer
"Tea is one of the single best cancer fighters you can put in your body,"
according to Mitchell Gaynor, MD, director of medical oncology at the
world-renowned Strong Cancer Prevention Center in New York City and
co-author of Dr. Gaynor's Cancer Prevention Program. The latest tea
discovery? Strong evidence that both green and black tea can fight
cancer-at least in the test tube-though green tea holds a slight edge. In
a new study, both teas kept healthy cells from turning malignant after
exposure to cancer-causing compounds. (Prevention, May 2000)
People who drink about 4 cups of green tea a day seem to get less cancer.
Now we may know why. In recent test-tube studies, a compound called EGCG,
a powerful antioxidant in tea, inhibited an enzyme that cancer cells need
in order to grow. The cancer cells that couldn't grow big enough to divide
self-destructed. It would take about 4 cups of green tea a day to get the
blood levels of EGCG that inhibited cancer in the study. Black tea also
contains EGCG, but at much lower concentrations. (Prevention, Aug 1999)
Cholesterol
Tea can lower 'bad' cholesterol levels. Researchers at the Beltsville
Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland, asked test
subjects to eat low-fat, low-calorie prepared meals and drink five cups of
caffeinated tea or caffeinated and non-caffeinated placebos that mimicked
the look of tea. Levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
dropped 10 percent among the test subjects who drank tea. (Vegetarian
Times, Jan 2003)
Heart Disease
Drinking black tea may lower the risk of heart disease because it prevents
blood from clumping and forming clots. In a recent study, researchers
found that while drinking black tea, the participants had lower levels of
the blood protein associated with coagulation. (Better Nutrition, Jan
2002)
Better to be deprived of food for three days than tea for one,ī says a
Chinese proverb. Research is showing it may just be true. Dr. Kenneth
Mukamal of Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center reported that out
of 1,900 heart-attack patients, those who drank two or more cups a day
reduced their risks of dying over the next 3.8 years by 44 percent.
(Newsweek, May 20, 2002)
Weight Loss
Trying to lose weight? Reach for a cup of green tea instead of a diet
beverage. Compared to the placebo and caffeine, green tea extract
consumption produced a significant 4% increase in 24-hour energy
expenditure. If you consume 2,000 calories per day and don't gain or lose
weight (you're in energy balance), an increase of 4% would translate
roughly into an 80-calorie daily difference. Over a year, this could
result in 89 pounds of weight loss. (American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, Nov 1999)
Recent evidence shows that in the battle of fat loss, green tea may be
superior to plain caffeine. According to a new study, green tea appears to
accelerate calorie burning - including fat calories. Researchers suggest
compounds in green tea called flavonoids may change how the body uses a
hormone called norepinephrine, which then speeds the rate calories are
burned. (Joe Weider's Muscle & Fitness, April 2000)
