Trivia #2: Green Tea Reduces Risks of Cancer
Here I present to you... Trivia number two... rhyme unintended =)
Tea has
been a focus of medical science and healing. The use and consumption of tea for
health purposes goes back till the ancient times. Ancient Egyptians used to
consume tea as they believed it helps improve their health and warm up the
body. But did you know that green tea also helps reduce the risks of acquiring
one of the deadliest illness known to mankind – cancer.
As
previously stated on the last trivia, tea contains a great amount of flavonoids
and antioxidants – one of them, notably the most important are called
catechins. Catechins have also been the study of doctors and people in the
field of medical science as a prevention for cancer, according to the American
Institute for Cancer Research.
Although
all kinds of tea contain catechins, it has been found out that green tea
contains the highest concentration of them. It has three times more catechins
than black tea does, the second kind of tea with the most number of catechins.
Studies
have proven that catechins help slows down or completely prevent the
development of cancer cells in colon, liver, breast and prostate cells.
Studies
particularly conducted in Asia where green tea consumption is common has shown
the relationship of the regular drinking/intake of green tea to be associated
with lower risk of bladder, colon, stomach, pancreatic and oesophageal cancer.
So it is
good to regularly consume green tea for precautionary measures against cancer.
Just don’t overdose yourself.
Until then, stay tuned for the next trivia!
