A Healthy Drink to a Healthy Heart
Green tea helps lower total cholesterol levels and improves the ratio between LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. One study displays that men who drink nine or more cups of green tea everyday have lower cholesterol levels than those who drink fewer than two cups. Also another study conducted in Japan showed that among 1374 forty-year old male subjects, those who drank green tea periodically had lower Total Cholesterol, lower Low Density Lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) and higher level of High Density Lipoprotein (good cholesterol). A larger study on 20,000 Norwegian men and women showed that Total Cholesterol level went down as the tea intake increased. Since high cholesterol causes coronary heart disease, and tea, to a degree, blocks the absorption of dietary cholesterol, it's postulated that tea-drinkers have lower occurence of coronary heart disease. Tea, especially the green variety, has been reported to relax blood vessel walls, and thus, helps in reducing blood pressure also. The polyphenols in green tea have also been theorized to bolster the immune system, giving the individuals drinking it a higher resistance to diseases in general. A recently published letter in the Archives of Internal Medicine summarizes some of the beneficial effects of tea, particularly green tea, on the heart, cardiovascular system and other areas as well. In the publication, Dr. Tsung O. Cheng of Washington, DC states that: A previous report in the same journal showed that tea flavonoids may protect against aortic atherosclerosis Another recent report studied the relationship of caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and teas and found that only tea was related with a lower risk of heart attack In China, tea has been considered a crude medicine for 4000 years. Different kind sof pharmacologic effects have been reported, such as protection of blood vessels, alleviation of serum cholesterol level, and prevention of atherosclerosis. |
