Are the Health Benefit of Tea Real -Decide for Yourself
- Tea has long been one of the most drinkable substances in the world. For
centuries every continent on earth has discovered the wonders and health
benefits of tea plants and all they can offer.
Today,
the world is discovering anew the shear vastness of those benefits and what tea
can do for the human body.
One
of the most popular teas right now for its health benefits is green tea. Loaded
with antioxidant such as EGCG, green tea has been found to fight numerous
ailments as well as lengthen the human life span.
The
metabolism boost in EGCG as well as the vitality given to the human body by
those antioxidants help the body to lose weight as well as live longer. The
free radicals that lead to the aging of the body are directly combated by those
antioxidants.
But
green tea's advantages are not purely cosmetic. In fact, many of the more
desirable effects of green tea are directly important to living a healthy
lifestyle and fighting disease.
Having
been found to fight and stop the growth of cancer cells as well as killing
bacteria in infection and disease and slow the chance of heart disease, green
tea and its andtioxidants are cure-alls for a half dozen diseases.
The
reason green tea is so much more effective in helping the human body than say
black teas are is that it is not fermented like black teas.
When
tea leaves are fermented, the EGCG that occurs naturally is lost, so when green
tea is harvested from the very same plant as black teas, the EGCG is left
intact.
However,
the fermentation of those tea leaves does not remove all possibility of health
benefits. When tea leaves are fermented, theaflavin and thearubiegens are
created, substances that add to the color and flavor of black tea.
However,
they also enhance the health benefits of black tea. Among those, black teas
still reduce bad cholesterol, like green tea and can actually help heal red
blood cells and it turns
out that Black Tea is very good for the heart.
Oolong
tea, another derivative of fermentation is not fully fermented and because of
that it is slightly more effective, retaining some of the EGCG that occurs
naturally in tea leaves. As a safe go between of black and green teas, oolong
offers health benefits of both kinds.
The
problem with today's market is that many people are saying green tea is much
better for you because it is not fermented. However, black teas and Oolong tea
are great for you as well, if not quite as wonderful as non-fermented tea
leaves.
There
are still more kinds of teas out there, including red or rooibos tea. As a
caffeine free alternative to green tea, red tea offers similar antioxidants
that might not be quite as strong as green tea but offer a great
non-caffeinated alternative.
Teas
come in dozens of different varieties, depending upon how they're picked,
fermented and served. Each tea offers its own very distinct health benefits as
well, treating wide range of illness and health problems.
Green
tea is probably the best thing you can consume for your health, but each other
kind of tea offers something distinct of its own to help your body be that much
healthier.
