So now, I am going to talk about a special leaf. Its not just an

ordinary leaf but this leaf has “power” ! XD

Its anti-oxidant power is much greater than vitamin C and E.

Its reported ability to aid with the following diseases.

- Cancer
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- High Cholesterol levels
- Cardiovascular disease
- Infection
- Impaired immune functions

In general, the benefits are as follows:

+ Aiding with weight control
+ Helps prevent tooth decay
+ Promotes good heart health
+ Lowers cholesterol
+ Reduces heart attacks
+ Aids in weight loss
+ Prevents skin damage
+ Improves circulation
+ Assists good digestive health
+ Soothes stress
+ Is antibacterial
+ Helps protect against diabetes
+ And strengthens bones

Is this clear for you to highlight that green tea is healthy?

Scientific discovers suggest that it may also help in preventing

bladder cancer, colon cancer, esophageal cancer,

rectum cancer and lung cancer.

Wow! This leaf is so great even though it’s just a leaf.

GREEN TEA

Green teas secret is that it’s rich in catechin polyphenols

specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) these

polyphenols are potent antioxidants.

EGCG

What is that epigallocatechin-gallate??

Epigallocatechin gallate belongs to the family of catechins.

It contains 3 phenol rings and has very strong antixoidant properties.

Epigallocatechin gallate possess the most potent antioxidant

activity of the catechins.
It may provide health effects by protecting our cells from oxidative

damage from free radicals. A number of chronic diseases have been

associated with free radical damage, including cancer, arteriosclerosis,

heart diseases and accelerated aging.

EGCG interferes with many enzyme systems where

it inhibits fast-binding and reversible fatty acid synthase, increases tyrosine

phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, activation of ornithine decarboxylase.
Besides, it can protect the DNA in the human cells from ultraviolet and visible
radiation-induced damage.

Moreover, Epigallocatechin gallate may be effective in promoting

fat oxidation and lowering body weight as I mentioned earlier.

Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound

from being oxidized. By contrast, black and oolong tea leaves are

made from fermented leaves, which results in the EGCG being converted

into other compounds that are not nearly as effective in preventing

and fighting various diseases.
Basically, green tea is the best among other teas that exist such as

white tea, black tea and oolong tea.

Green teas don’t just exist for beverages, they also exist in the form

of chewing gums, ice-creams, cakes, cookies, chocolates and jellies!!!!!

Here are some pictures of them.
