2. The nutrition of green tea
Over the years, scholars from Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and China have done a lot of research on the anticancer effect of green tea. The results show that green tea can reduce the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, oral cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer and other tumors. The anti-cancer effect of green tea is among the best in various known anti-cancer foods.
So what is the magical power of tea? The original tea contains about 20% tea polyphenols, also known as tea tannin or tea tannin, which is the main antioxidant and the effective anticancer component of tea. It can reduce the expression of "BCL-XL" protein (which can inhibit the apoptosis of cancer cells), thus playing a role in preventing and treating cancer.
In addition, these phenolic compounds have the effects of scavenging free radicals and antioxidation, and have a strong inhibitory effect on the chemical carcinogen benzopyrene inducer, and can also inhibit the activity of aromatic hydrocarbon receptor molecules (this aromatic hydrocarbon receptor, induced by dioxin pollutants and some carcinogens in cigarettes, will "turn on" some harmful genes in organisms, thus causing cancer), thus blocking the generation of some carcinogens, killing cancer cells and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
"The unique biochemical characteristics make the protective effect of green tea spread to many different cells, thus obviously inhibiting many carcinogens related to human tumors, including aflatoxin, amino acid pyrolysis products and DNA damage." Professor Thomas A. Gasiwitz, Dean of School of Environmental Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, said.
It must be noted that the method of drinking tea should also be paid attention to. Improper drinking tea can not only prevent diseases, but also be harmful to human body. Therefore, if you want to drink tea to prevent diseases, you must persevere and drink 3-5 cups a day to achieve the desired effect.
Besides, green tea is not suitable for everyone because it is cold. If you have spleen and stomach yang deficiency, or intense internal cold, you usually have cold hands and feet, fear of cold, diarrhea and other symptoms. Drinking green tea will aggravate the symptoms, so warm black tea or oolong tea is more suitable for you.
