After living in China for over two years, I've discovered the importance of green tea within Chinese culture. While coffee is the caffeinated drink of choice for Americans, green tea is far more popular than coffee in China. After researching the benefits of green tea, I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's a better choice than coffee. Here are a few reasons why:
1) Green Tea Is Clean. Unlike black tea, green tea is almost always free of lead and other heavy metal contaminates (link). Coffee, on the other hand? "A cup of coffee now and then is not going to add a lot of toxic metals to the body. However, habitual use can add significant lead, according to our experience with hair mineral testing. All the toxic metals are quite harmful, so it makes little sense to add more to the body" (Link).
2) Green Tea Relaxes. "Theanine, an amino acid present in green tea but not in coffee, relaxes and soothes even as the caffeine lifts you up" (Link).
3) Less Caffeine. Green tea has less caffeine than coffee and so it doesn't make you as nervous or "jittery" as coffee. Also, this means you can sip it all day without as many problems.
Caffeine content:
Cup of Brewed Coffee 8 oz. (237 mL) 95-200 mg caffeine
Cup of Green tea 8 oz. (237 mL) 24-45 mg caffeine
4) Better Antioxidants. Green tea contains a specific type of antioxidant known as catechins, which are known to help with cancer prevention (Link). While coffee does contain some great antioxidants, it does not contain catechins.
5) Better Skin. Green has a great reputation for fighting acne (Link) while coffee has been reported to trigger acne in some people (Link). Also, polyphenols in green tea may protect against damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) B radiation (Link).
6) Better Hair. Green tea can help prevent hair loss and even lead to regrowth of hair (Link).
7) Fights Arthritis - "A team of US researchers have discovered that a compound in green tea could have the potential to treat joint pain, inflammation and tissue damage in sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis" (Link).
8) Protect Against Alzheimer's - Green Tea May Prevent Alzheimer's Disease, Say Four New Studies (Link).
9) Protects against heart disease - A study of 40,530 Japanese adults found that participants who drank more than five cups of green tea a day had a 26% lower risk of death from heart attack or stroke and a 16% lower risk of death from all causes than people who drank less than one cup of green tea a day (link).
10) Protects against Cancer - In laboratory studies, green tea has been shown to slow or completely prevent cancer developent in colon, liver, breast and prostate cells. Other studies involving green tea have shown similar protective effects in tissues of the lung, skin and digestive tract (Link),
11) Anti-bacterial. "Other studies have revealed that green tea has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties as well. This is beneficial in a number of ways. Green tea can protect you from all sorts of fungal infections" (Link).
"Study data clearly demonstrates profound effects of green tea against [a bacteria infection known as] Helicobacter" (Link).
Drinking green tea "increases the production of interferon gamma, which is an infection-fighting substance produced by the body...This was confirmed in several scientific studies" (Link).
12) Anti AIDS Virus "The wonderful polyphenols found in green tea -- specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) -- could become a powerful weapon in the fight against the AIDS virus." (Link)
5) Better Skin. Green has a great reputation for fighting acne (Link) while coffee has been reported to trigger acne in some people (Link). Also, polyphenols in green tea may protect against damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) B radiation (Link).
6) Better Hair. Green tea can help prevent hair loss and even lead to regrowth of hair (Link).

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid, Dercum,Get Your Ex Back, You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
ReplyDeleteYes yes & yes many cancers & like diseases like HIV/AIDS, HSV/HERPES, and many organ related diseases are cured this days with herbal remedies & more herbal treatments are being discovered all the time. More anticancer & antiviral herbal drugs are in clinical trials this days than ever before and promising herbalist like Dr Utu all thanks to him. I do hear of many people he has helped cured their diseases using African natural Herbs & Roots. I'm Paul G. From Australia a father of four which include 3 girls and a boy. My boss is more than a father to me, he assist my family even financially. He completely lost himself when he was diagnosed of kidney stone & to make matter worst he started noticing his first outbreak. Ever since his kidney stone issues, he keep having herpes outbreak on any little fever. He's my boss and the only way I can pay him is to help his situation. At first I doubted Dr Utu, but in a case of life & death as this am left with only a choice. I contacted Dr Utu to give him a try. He sent herbal meds to my boss that completely flushed out the stone in his kidney. He completely cured my boss of kidney stone and herpes virus using African herbs. I also prescribed this herbal cure for a colleague with HIV and he was completely cured. Dr Utu is health future. Through me Dr Utu have completely cured; herpes, hiv, cancers, kidney stone. I think it pays to be good because you never know who might pay you back in future. So my knowledge on this is what I share. For the sick, trying herbal meds will tell you the different.
