Why Green Tea?
As opposed to black and oolong tea which undergoes full oxidization (fermentation), the leaves in green tea are only gently steamed, rolled, and dried. This allows for the preservation of the naturally occurring antioxidants in the Camellia sinensis leaves, keeping them in their original, health beneficial form. The antioxidants in green tea helps fight away free radicals. A by-product of common biological functions and other environmental reasons (such as pollution, UV radiation), these free radicals are the main contributing reasons to aging as well as the ensuing deterioration of cells as a result of it. For decades, scientists have been studying the significant link between free radicals and diseases and have found ample reason to believe that free radicals play a pivotal role in several degenerative diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism, Alzheimer’s disease, and even cancer. The human body has developed natural defenses against destruction and undermine caused by free radicals. These materials are called antioxidants and their function is to seek out free radicals and neutralize them by undermining their volatility via the exchange of electrons. In so doing, the antioxidants become “oxidized” themselves and can no longer serve their purpose. That is why we need to continuously replenish our supply of antioxidants from our diet, in order to keep the battle with the free radicals going. Interestingly, research studies in recent years have confirmed the presence of several healing materials in green tea that makes it a very potent therapeutic drink. Of particular importance is the apparent presence of antioxidant chemicals called polyphenols present in the ubiquitous tea. This discovery led the scientists to surmise that the healing qualities of green tea may have some basis after all – a scientific basis, no less. |
