| Organic Japanese Green Tea Health Benefits |
|
|
Organic Japanese green tea, not modern day conventional Japanese green tea, is the genuine healthy beverage of Japan. It has been grown and enjoyed in Japan ever since monks brought seeds back from China many centuries ago. Emperors, shoguns, samarai, and Japanese people alike have enjoyed the wonderful health benefits of this organic beverage for many hundreds of years. Unfortunately, these days in Japan most tea isn't organic, and farms rely heavily on chemical pesticides, fertilizers and chemical agents to grow their crops. This, of course, puts the health benefits into question. In contast, green tea grown organically using nature friendly farming methods retains the health benefits and eliminates the negatives associated with conventional Japanese green teas.
A major benefit of organic green tea is its ability to fight cancer. Organic green tea has plenty of catechin polyphenols (ECGC epigallocatechin gallate) which is a powerful anti-oxidant. It has been said that it prevents the growth of cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue.
ECGC also helps reduce the level of cholesterol. This compound lowers the amount of bad cholesterol (LDL) while increasing the amount of good cholesterol (HDL). It does this by increasing the number of LDL receptors in your liver. This will also decrease your chance of getting heart disease.
Organic green tea can also help prevent tooth decay. It helps to destroy bacteria and viruses in your mouth that can cause cavities, dental plaque, and tooth decay. It naturally contains fluoride which you can find in toothpaste or mouth wash.
Organic green tea is also believed to be a great way to protect your liver. Oxidants are naturally found in organic green tea. These oxidants guard the liver against toxins found in alcohol and cigarette smoke.
Another one of the benefits of organic green tea is its ability to help you lose weight. Drinking organic green tea has been shown to increase your rate of metabolism. It will also speed up fat oxidation. This will allow you to burn more calories than you normally would. Reducing the amount of calories in your body is an important factor when trying to lower your weight.
Organic green tea is also very rich in Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps to reduce stress levels and helps guard against the common cold and the flu. The level of Vitamin C in one cup of organic green tea is greater than the amount found in an orange. Organic green tea is also high in Vitamin B, which also helps reduce stress. This helps reverse the signs of aging.
It's recommended to drink two to four cups a day to receive the full health benefits of organic green tea. The only reported negative side effect of organic green tea is insomnia. This is due to the fact that organic green tea has roughly half the amount of caffeine found in coffee. Keeping this in mind, try to avoid drinking organic green tea before you go to bed.
