If we do not find time to take care of our health, we will have a heart-cons find time for our disease -Hippocrates.

Nowadays there is a lot of buzz in the news and online about green tea and its health benefits, in particular the role of polyphenols in green tea.

The polyphenols are chemical compounds found in fruits, vegetables and green tea and further divided into groups known as the secondary catechin. There are 4 commanders of catechin in green tea with EGCG ((-) – of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most effective and found in abundance in green tea.

This compound is doubled “antioxidant superb” because it is more potent than vitamin E popular antioxidants and vitamin C. This superb antioxidant eliminates free radicals, unstable molecules in the body that are the main cause of aging and disease, which continually attack the body and leaves the body vulnerable to disease.

Free radicals disrupt the biochemical processes in cells, and normal defenses of our body become compromised lead to disease. Free radicals kill randomly cells, destroy enzymes and produce toxic chemicals that damage cellular functions. They are highly reactive molecules, and their activities cause damage to critical structures such as DNA, lipids and proteins. What are essential for normal cell function?

Free radicals in the body forms are toxic metabolites of reactive oxygen (ROM). It is ironic that on the one hand oxygen sustains us and part oxygen may be responsible for much of the destruction and the ageing of our cells. Free radicals are responsible for many ills, including but not limited to aging, cancer, heart disease, running and arthritis. Without line of defence antioxidant, your cells oxidize or failure accelerating faster as a result, the aging process is damage from oxidizing free radicals that make us age.

EGCG contained in green tea is an effective antioxidant it neutralizes free radicals and hence is responsible for promoting the health benefits listed below.

Lower levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (bad) –
The cholesterol increased HDL (good) – leveling
Reducing the risk of cancer
Reducing the risk of heart attack
Reduce the risk of race
Reduce the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis
Increase the immune function
Acting as an antibacterial and antiviral agent
Help in weight loss
Longevity thrust due to the effective antioxidant properties

A cup of green tea usually provides magnesium 100-300 polyphenols and contains EGCG in high concentrations. As mentioned above with EGCG is supposed to possess 100 times more power than as an antioxidant vitamin C as and at least 25 times more powerful than vitamin E and protects cells and DNA against damage supposed to be bound cancer, heart disease and other potentially fatal diseases.

Green tea has been used for centuries in China for Medicare benefits it provides. We at the moment rays surface that green tea has to offer; new studies are emerging constantly providing data on the effectiveness of green tea against various ills. The latest research indicates that green tea may help in Alzheimer’s disease by reducing the production of a protein that in large nerve damage causes amounts and memory loss. All the benefits of green tea can be attributed to polyphenols, in particular EGCG.

Green tea comes in various formulations but the most popular versions are liquid forms and the piece reported. The patch appears to be gaining in popularity due to the factor of convenience and delivering the same amount of the active substance in green tea at a constant rate. Place the patch on the skin and wear for 48 hours and replace it every other day. It can not become simpler than that: -)

As you can see EGCG is an important component of green tea responsible for all Medicare benefits listed above. Recent studies also indicate green tea as being effective in promoting weight loss.

Green tea is really a marvel of compound “with a wide range of benefits to improve health. It has been around for thousands of years and was now finally rediscovered for our advantage.
