The characteristic of green tea is that it retains more natural substances in fresh leaves. Among them, tea polyphenols and caffeine retain more than 85% of fresh leaves and about 50% of chlorophyll, and the loss of vitamins is less, thus forming the characteristics of green tea, such as clear soup color, green leaves color and strong taste convergence. The latest scientific research results show that the natural substances in green tea have special effects of anti-aging, anti-cancer, sterilization and anti-inflammation, which are beyond the reach of other teas.
1. Green tea anti-aging
Antioxidants contained in green tea help to fight aging. Because in the process of human metabolism, if it is over-oxidized, it will produce a lot of free radicals, which are easy to age and cause cell damage. SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) is a kind of free radical scavenger, which can effectively remove excess free radicals and prevent the harm of free radicals to human body. Catechins in green tea can significantly improve SOD activity and scavenge free radicals.
2. Green tea is antibacterial
Studies have shown that catechins in green tea can inhibit some bacteria that cause human diseases without harming the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, so green tea has the function of whole intestine. Studies have shown that tea polyphenols can eliminate excessive harmful free radicals in the body, regenerate efficient antioxidant substances such as α-VE, VC, GSH and SOD in the human body, thus protecting and repairing the antioxidant system, which has a significant effect on enhancing immunity, preventing cancer and preventing aging. Drinking green tea for a long time can reduce blood sugar, blood lipid and blood pressure, thus preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The medical research team of Showa University in Japan diluted 1 ml tea polyphenols solution to 1 of the concentration of ordinary tea, and put it into 10000 highly toxic Escherichia coli 0- 157. Five hours later, all the bacteria died, leaving none.
3. Green tea lowers blood fat
Animal experiments made by scientists show that catechins in tea can reduce total cholesterol, free cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides in plasma, and at the same time increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Human experiments show that it can inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce the incidence of arteriosclerosis. Green tea contains flavonol, which has antioxidant effect, prevents thrombosis and platelet aggregation, and reduces cardiovascular diseases.
4. Green tea slimming and fat reduction
Green tea contains theophylline and caffeine, which can activate protein kinase and triglyceride lipolytic enzyme through multiple functions, reduce the accumulation of fat cells, and thus achieve the effect of losing weight.
5. Green tea can prevent dental caries and remove bad breath.
Green tea contains fluorine, in which catechins can inhibit the action of cariogenic bacteria and reduce the occurrence of dental plaque and periodontitis. Tannic acid contained in tea has bactericidal effect, which can prevent food residues from breeding bacteria, so it can effectively prevent bad breath.
6. Green tea can prevent cancer
Green tea can inhibit some cancers, but its principle is limited to the inference stage. Drinking more tea is bound to have a positive encouraging effect on preventing cancer.
7. Whitening and UV protection of green tea
Experts found in animal experiments that catechins in green tea can resist skin cancer caused by UV-B.
8. Green tea can improve indigestion.
Recent research reports show that green tea can help improve indigestion, such as acute diarrhea caused by bacteria, and drinking a little green tea can alleviate the condition.
