The Benefits of Green Tea to Men’s Health
Green Tea is an ingredient that increasingly pops up when discussing menâ??s health concerns. Although itâ??s been utilized for hundreds of years for medicinal purposes, it seems like new benefits are being revealed all the time. According to numerous scientific studies, the effects of green tea are currently being considered for treatment of a number of health conditions, from several forms of cancer to mental alertness to weight loss to cholesterol maintenance.
To help you understand the importance of this ingredientâ??s role in both skincare and nutritional capacities, weâ??ve broken down the many benefits of this ingredient:
Powerful Antioxidant: Green Tea contains high levels of phenolic acids and catechinâ??antioxidants which play a major role in protecting the body against free radical damage. Free radicals can cause cellular oxidation and damage, which contribute to health problems associated with aging.
Goodbye Jitters: Because Green Tea contains tannin, it produces an energized feeling and increased alertness for extended periods of time. However, unlike caffeine levels in coffee, tannin provides a gentle increase in energy, without the jitteriness or rapid decline in energy associated with this type of caffeinated reaction.
Fat-Burner: Recent studies are being conducted on the increased health benefits of green tea for men looking to lose weight. Consuming Green Tea increases the metabolic rate, causing greater fat oxidation and better weight management. In fact, several studies reveal that the potential weight-loss properties of Green Tea go well beyond its ability to simply accelerate metabolism.
Clean & Complete: Green Tea has been utilized throughout the world as a cleansing agent. For more than 5,000 years, Asian cultures have used Green Tea for its healing and cleansing benefits, and Green Tea continues to be a major ingredient in many treatments.
The Full Treatment: Green Tea is also being studied for its potential role in the fight against cancers, heart, joint and liver diseases.

Green Tea And Garlic: What Are The Health Benefits?
Can you guess the most popular beverage in the U.S. market this last decade? Green Tea made from unfermented tea leaves is the answer. Research suggests the fermentation process is what makes it contain the highest concentration of polyphenols, antioxidants that rids the body of free radicals. Some preliminary studies also show that green tea’s polyphenols, particularly ECGC, can help stop the free-radical damage that may lead to cancer and heart disease.
Garlic has also been popular in that many people believe it is a heart disease preventative. I don’t believe anyone is adding garlic to their green tea, but research does show, many people add garlic to all kinds of foods in the belief that it is good for their heart and a preventative for other diseases.
Green tea is popular as a healing brew; however, most studies on its effects have been done the in animals. Human studies of the effects of green tea have been population-based (studies that follow large groups of people over a specified period of time). The results of these studies have been inconsistent.
The Food and Drug Administration says there is no scientific evidence that drinking green tea reduces heart disease. A spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, Dave Grotto, says “Green tea has a lot of wonderful active compounds that may play a role in fighting cancer and heart disease and even protecting the lining of the arteries. “But there needs to be a lot more research.”
Dr. Frank Greenway, head of the outpatient clinic at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La., studies herbal supplements and obesity. He says, “There’s nothing magic about green tea.” “I’ll be surprised if it is shown to have any profound effect on weight loss.” There have been many claims that green tea does help with weight loss. Some studies suggest that green tea’s polyphenols may boost metabolism and help burn fat.
Dr. Greenway also says, “Green tea won’t hurt you.” “Herbs always play catch-up when it comes to research.”
Some studies show that some green tea drinkers may actually get more health benefits than others. Green tea provides more antioxidants freshly brewed.
Garlic is another popular additive to boost good heart health. Some people have been adding it to chicken wings, pasta and many other things. Researchers are saying garlic is not as powerful a cardiac protector as once thought.
A series of studies over the last several years show that garlic may not be so great at lowering cholesterol levels. Christopher Gardner, a Stanford professor of medicine led the study and he says, “I was somewhat surprised that even the raw garlic didn’t have any effect. But the evidence is very clear. Garlic just doesn’t work in lowering cholesterol levels.”
The good news is that research does not rule out garlic’s potential benefits in reducing levels of cardiovascular disease by lowering blood pressure or atherosclerosis.
Green tea and garlic probably do have some extra benefits, but to date scientific evidence does not prove either of them to help our health substantially.

The World of Chinese Green Tea
When someone says green tea, we usually will think of the Asian culture and how this type of tea relates to it. However, when we look deeper into the cup of these teas, it can be noticed that different types of teas and the processes that are used to produce the drink are used. If you are trying out the different teas for size, you might want to consider Chinese green tea to see what this extract can do for you.
Chinese green tea is well known mostly because it is the oldest type of tea that has been used. While other cultures in this area have produced the tea for one or two thousand years, the Chinese have produced it for over 4,000 years. In the world of tea, this gives them a strong running start with their ability to produce different flavors and stronger teas for those who are interested in the health benefits.
Like other types of green teas from other cultures, it is not the green tea leaf that causes the flavor or difference. Instead it is the processes that are used in order to present a tea that has stronger health benefits, different flavor and the ability to affect one differently. The Chinese green tea market has this understanding, with the production of over fifty different processes and flavors that are used for the market.
If you want to know where to start when investigating the various Chinese green teas that are available, it is best to begin with your taste buds. Many of the teas that are offered from this culture will be divided first by process, then by the result that the process makes. For example, some of the teas will produce a sweeter taste, or the opposite, a bitter taste. Other times, the teas that are offered will be mixed with other beneficial fruits or herbs, such as oranges, in order to give an extra tang.
The next types of teas that are offered from this culture will vary because of the plant that is being used. You may find that you like the flavor of one plant over another; something you will notice with time. The plants that are produced are mostly different because of the places they grow. Some will have the ability to have longer buds, while others will darker plant. Other tea leaves will be picked in different seasons, giving a slightly different texture and taste to the leaves.
No matter what your preference becomes, the Chinese green tea can make sure to take care of your taste bud needs. Through mixtures and different types of growth, this type of green tea is sure to settle well with you. You can begin to explore the different offerings that can be made by simple taste tests that will offer you the best of this world.

Is that Chinese Weight loss tea safe?
I wanna know if its safe for a 13 year old girl {me!!!!}
Nope. it is not safe. believe me. i used to drink 1 cup a day…and i would get constant muscle cramps, use the toilet to pee at least 10 times a day (because these weight loss teas are diueretics, which means they draw water out of you, which is BAD), a slowed heart beat (normal ranges from 60-70 heartbeats a minute…i had 39 a minute when i drank those teas…)
you would lose weight, but it's all water weight, since it drains it out of you. and its not nice to use the toilet all the time! and it just is not safe.
