We should be thankful to the ancient Chinese for bringing to our attention the wonders that can be found in a simple but enjoyable cup of green tea. For centuries in ancient China, green tea was known for relieving headaches and depression. The tradition of drinking green tea has endured the test of time and today its popularity is soaring as technology breaks down the mystery behind the numerous benefits that are to be enjoyed by regular intake of this soothing drink. There are three unique types of tea, although tea is available in many forms and varieties. Whether black, green, or red, all tea starts from the harvesting of a warm weather evergreen known as Camellia Sinensis. Once the leaves are processed, this is where the differences in the end product happen. The more processing the leaves undergo, the darker the tea becomes, and thus "green" tea has had the least change to its original form. Processing of green tea usually involves quickly steaming the leaves, while black and red teas are usually dried, crushed and fermented which makes them seem stronger and more potent. Don't be fooled by this obvious feature, as many believe that the closer it is to its natural state, the more valuable the medicinal and healing properties. All tea is known to contain polyphenols which is known for giving tea its antioxidant properties and antioxidants are believed to protect our bodies from free radical damage. ORAC score is used to measure antioxidant amounts, and tea scores higher than many fruits and vegetables. Because of this, you should seriously consider including tea in your daily diet. In addition to the prevention of unwanted blood clotting, studies indicate that polyphenols may lower cholesterol levels and when consumed four to six cups a day my reduce gastric, esophageal and skin cancers. A quick internet search of the benefits of drinking green tea will reveal a seemingly endless list of ailments, aches, and pains that may be relieved through the daily enjoyment of this non-prescription drink. Some of the more popular ailments that can be cured are cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and impaired immune functions. But many don't realize that the benefits of drinking green tea may also be found to aid us against digestive disorders, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's while raising metabolism and increasing fat oxidation. It's even reported to help prevent tooth decay by killing the bacteria which causes dental plaque. No matter what reason you might have for drinking green tea, it is clear that you can derive some benefit from daily consumption. It should be noted that many of today's more marketable "herbal teas" may or may not be tea at all as many of these products are blends of herbs and spices with other plant parts included for flavoring. They do not contain the health promoting qualities of Camellia Sinensis. Be careful when buying these products. Check the ingredients to make sure you are buying the product that you expect.
