Green Tea


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Latin name: Camellia sinensis
Other name: Chinese Tea
A Remedy For

Diarrhea
Fatigue
Indigestion
Although Green Tea has not been officially recognized as a medicinal agent, it is known to be effective against diarrhea and upset stomach, while boosting mood and energy. Used as a mouthwash, it fights cavities and plaque. There's also increasing evidence of its ability to fend off certain types of cancer, particularly cancer of the stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, breast, lung, and pancreas.
What It Is; Why It Works
Green Tea contains caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system, and tannins, which combat diarrhea. Taken in moderation, it settles the stomach and has mild stimulant effects. In excess, it can cause insomnia and digestive problems.
Green Tea's cancer-fighting properties have been verified in two recent studies. In China, researchers found that as tea consumption increased, the risk of cancer declined. Women who drank the most tea enjoyed a 33 percent reduction in the risk of colon cancer, a 43 percent reduction in the risk of rectal cancer, and a 47 percent reduction in the risk of pancreatic cancer. In Japan, a study of 472 breast cancer patients revealed a significant drop in the rate of recurrence among those drinking 5 or more cups of Green Tea daily.

The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.
