But do you know that it also shows up as a key ingredient in a variety of skin and hair care products? There is scientific research showing that green tea has a variety of beneficial properties when used topically.<br /> Want to know what green tea is supposed to do for your skin, and how to choose products that effectively harness its beneficial properties? You will find out soon.<br /> <a name='more'></a><strong>Green Tea Skin Benefits #1:</strong><br /> <strong><br /> </strong><br /> <strong>Fight Free Radicals</strong><br /> <br /> Green tea contains a cocktail of potent antioxidants called catechins, which help fight damage caused by free radicals.<br /> <br /> Free radicals are molecules that are missing an electron - they are inherently unstable, and always trying to steal an electron from the other molecules around them.<br /> <br /> Free radicals can form in your skin for a variety of reasons, including exposure to toxins. However, the most common cause of free radicals in skin cells is UV radiation from sunlight, which causes up to 90% of all signs of premature aging. <br /> <br /> Want to know why green tea is so indispensable as antioxidants?<br /> <br /> Green Tea Antioxidants - 7 Reason Why They Are So Powerful<br /> <br /> <strong>Green Tea Skin Benefits #2:</strong><br /> Neutralize UV Light<br /> <br /> In several scientific studies, green tea extract was shown to neutralize the damage done by exposure to UV rays.<br /> <br /> A 2000 study by Case Western Reserve University showed that green tea protects against sunburn. Volunteers had green tea extract applied to the skin on their buttocks, which was then exposed to solar radiation.<br /> <br /> At a concentration level of 4 milligrams per 2.5 cm square of skin area,, the subjects obtained complete protection from sunburn. Some protection was observed at lower concentrations down to 1 milligram per cm square of skin area.<br /> <br /> Since exposure to sunlight is a major factor that ages the skin, it is reasonable to assume that green tea cream could help prevent premature aging.<br /> <br /> No one is advocating giving up your sunscreen in favor of green tea just yet, but green tea can definitely help enhance its effectiveness. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Green Tea Skin Benefits #3:</strong><br /> <br /> Prevent Skin Cancer<br /> <br /> Green tea’s antioxidant effects may help prevent skin cancer.<br /> <br /> A 2003 study published in the American Chemical Society discovered that green tea prevents skin cancer by blocking the harmful enzyme junk-2.<br /> <br /> A recent 2007 study conducted in the UK revealed that those who drank two or more cups a day had a 65% lower risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma.<br /> <br /> Interestingly, the same study noted that drinking tea with lemon boosts its anti-cancer properties.<br /> <br /> Green Tea And Skin Cancer - Lotion Or Beverage?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Green Tea Skin Benefits #4:</strong><br /> <br /> Rejuvenate Skin Cells<br /> <br /> One study, performed in 2003 by Dr. Stephen Hsu of the Medical College of Georgia Department of Oral Biology, found that green tea was able to rejuvenate old skin cells that were at the end of their life cycle.<br /> <br /> To quote Dr. Hsu from his 2003 paper: <br /> <br /> Thus, we report here for the first time, that at certain concentrations, EGCG or a mixture of the major green tea polyphenols stimulated aged keratinocytes to generate biological energy and to synthesize DNA, possibly for renewed cell division. <br /> <br /> Therefore, green tea constituents may be useful topically for promoting skin regeneration, wound healing, or treatment of certain epithelial conditions such as aphthous ulcers, psoriasis, rosacea, and actinic keratosis.<br /> <br /> Dr. Hsu commented afterwards:<br /> <br /> “Cells that migrate toward the surface of the skin normally live about 28 days, and by day 20, they basically sit on the upper layer of the skin getting ready to die.”<br /> <br /> “But EGCG reactivates them. I was so surprised.”<br /> <br /> <strong>Green Tea And Skin - How EGCG Reactivate Dying Cells</strong><br /> <br /> Although this is an amazing finding, it is too early to say what this means for consumers.<br /> <br /> So don’t be fooled by claims that green tea “reverses the aging process,” as it has only been shown to do so for individual skin cells, not for the face as a whole.<br /> <br /> Prevention is one thing. Turning back the clock is completely different!<br /> <br /> However, green tea may help increase elasticity when used continuously, so it may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles even if it can’t remove them completely. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Green Tea Skin Benefits #5:</strong><br /> <br /> Fight Inflammation<br /> <br /> Green tea also has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. If your skin is very sensitive and often red, products containing green tea extract may help soothe it.<br /> <br /> Tea Cream And Skin Inflammation<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Green Tea Skin Benefits #6:</strong><br /> <br /> Improve Psoriasis and Dandruff Conditions<br /> <br /> People with skin conditions such as psoriasis, rosacea, and dandruff, which are caused by inflammation, may benefit the most from the anti-inflammatory action of the chemicals in green tea.<br /> <br /> In a 2007 study published in Experimental Dermatology, green tea was shown to significantly lessen the severity of psoriasis in mice. <br /> <br /> Green Tea And Hair - Dandruff And Psoriasis Cure?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Green Tea Skin Benefits #7:</strong><br /> <br /> Sooth Acne And Lighten Skin<br /> <br /> Everyone has experienced a bad case of acne at least once in their lives - usually at the worst possible time.<br /> <br /> In addition to the benefits listed above, green tea catechins are anti-bacterial and can decrease hormone activity. This means green tea is an effective way to control acne, without the unpleasant side effects of benzoyl peroxide-based creams.<br /> <br /> A 2003 study carried out by Dr. Jennifer Gan-Wong of Memorial Medical Center in the Philippines showed that green tea cream was as good as benzoyl peroxide cream in treating acne conditions with fewer side effects.<br /> <br /> The researchers noted the green tea cream seemed to lighten patients' skin color and improve the overall appearance of their complexion.<br /> <br /> This is excellent news, since benzoyl peroxide is often irritating to the skin, and can cause damage in the form of free radicals. <br /> <br /> Green Tea And Pimples - Acne Skin Benefit<br /> <br /> <strong>What's Next?</strong><br /> <br /> Now that you know about green tea skin care's amazing potential, how can you make sure that the products you buy will actually be effective?<br /> <br /> My next article will give you the information you need to make an informed decision when purchasing products that claim to deliver the benefits of green tea to your skin. <br /> <br /> Green Tea Cream Skin Care - How To Read The Label<br /> <br /> References<br /> Green Tea Polyphenol Treatment to Human Skin Prevents Formation of Ultraviolet Light B-induced Pyrimidine Dimers in DNA (2000).

Emperor Shen Nung, who was known as the "Divine Healer", always boiled his water before drinking it. He had observed that those who boiled their water had better health.&nbsp;One afternoon, as he knelt before his boiling water, some leaves from a nearby tree blew into the water. The Emperor noted a delightful aroma and, upon sipping the beverage, proclaimed it heaven sent. Since this first cup of green tea almost five thousand years ago, the popularity of tea has grown to the point that it is now the second most consumed beverage in the world. Only water is more popular. Shortly after Emperor Shen Nung's discovery, tea's popularity spread to Japan and the rest of the Far East. The Dutch first brought tea from China to Europe and America by 1650. In 1669, the East India Company began bringing tea leaves to England, and in 1721, the company was granted a monopoly on all tea imported into the British Empire. Initially, tea was very expensive and available only for royalty and the upper class. At the time, tea prices were $30 to $50 per pound.</b><br /> </div>Bashanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02664711873482775633noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526137726957024879.post-51569742767432000412009-01-03T03:48:00.000-08:002009-12-20T20:46:16.285-08:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6QUdIxznY9hIt8QpxetQi4egzWPPctxATa8QEAQ-_G7pqEEHy62NGZ_If8AVPycnJbIenXySjXjIuD8-h5nLRTH3Kaq0DwOYf0evjER400odSyX5KUSSwVoeazbrvSdgSkbr1RhQosag/s1600-h/Heart+interior.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6QUdIxznY9hIt8QpxetQi4egzWPPctxATa8QEAQ-_G7pqEEHy62NGZ_If8AVPycnJbIenXySjXjIuD8-h5nLRTH3Kaq0DwOYf0evjER400odSyX5KUSSwVoeazbrvSdgSkbr1RhQosag/s200/Heart+interior.gif" /></a><br /> </div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Green tea has been linked with a series of health benefits Green tea could help protect against the damage caused by heart attacks and strokes, researchers suggest.

This allows the tissues to recover, alleviating damage to the organs.Molecular biologist Dr Anastasis Stephanou, who led the research, said: "We're extremely encouraged by these findings and hope to implement them in the clinical setting to minimise cell death activation levels in patients with acute coronary artery disease."He said more research would have to be carried out before patients could be advised to drink green tea after a heart attack or stroke."But hopefully we will one day be able to tell patients who are susceptible to heart disease that they can drink green tea for its therapeutic benefits."Belinda Linden, head of medical information at the British Heart Foundation said: "Green tea has, in the past, been associated with a reduced risk of coronary artery disease, with claims that its high antioxidant properties may cut the amount of cholesterol in the artery wall."The results suggest that there may be other ways that green tea could protect the heart, but larger controlled studies would be needed to confirm this benefit."</b></span>Bashanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02664711873482775633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526137726957024879.post-4211447388635955102009-01-03T03:46:00.000-08:002009-12-20T21:41:11.849-08:00<div style="text-align: justify;">Q: &nbsp;How much <a href="http://www.greentea.com/asknadine.aspx#5">caffeine</a> is in a cup of green tea?<br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: &nbsp;An 8-oz. cup of green tea contains about 25-30 mg of caffeine.

The invigorating effects of tea are due to caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant that fights sleepiness, speeds up the heart rate, increases alertness, improves athletic endurance, assists in weight loss and may even heighten intellectual activity.<br /> </div><a name='more'></a><br /> <div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, the downside of caffeine is that too much can make you nervous, irritable, and unable to fall asleep at night. It can also reduce fine motor coordination and trigger headaches and dizziness. Most healthy adults can handle 200-250 mg. per day without adverse effects, but some find that even a small dose makes them jittery.The best of both worlds<br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to caffeine, green tea may offer the best of both worlds -- just enough to brighten the mood, but not enough to trigger sleepless nights. The average cup of green tea contains about 20 mg of caffeine, while black tea has about 40 mg, and drip coffee packs a nerve-jangling punch of 90-150 mg. Although some who are sensitive to caffeine may find that drinking green tea (especially in large amounts) keeps them awake at night, most people don't have this problem. That may be because green tea also contains theanine, an amino acid that functions as a natural tranquilizer.Decaffeinated tea For those who are really serious about limiting their caffeine, there is always the option of drinking decaffeinated tea. But beware, as the standard way of decaffeinating tea (using ethyl acetate) obliterates about 70 percent of green tea’s catechins. This method involves soaking the tea leaves in a chemical solvent called ethyl acetate, which binds to the caffeine. Then both the ethyl acetate and the caffeine are boiled away. Unfortunately, most of the health-promoting catechins also disappear in the process.The carbon dioxide method (also referred to as "effervescence") is a much gentler, more natural process. The tea leaves are soaked in liquefied carbon dioxide gas, which binds to the caffeine and "soaks it out" of the leaves. The liquid and the caffeine are then poured off (no heating required), leaving about 95 percent of the tea catechins intact.So if you do decide to drink decaffeinated green tea, be sure to look for a brand that uses the carbon dioxide or effervescence method. Otherwise, you may be drinking a brew that’s essentially devoid of catechins.<br /> </div>Bashanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02664711873482775633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526137726957024879.post-49297069186883292242009-01-03T03:43:00.000-08:002009-12-20T21:41:11.850-08:00<div align="justify">Okay, so by now you’ve undoubtedly heard about green tea’s wonderful antioxidant abilities, and how this particular quality helps it fight dangerous diseases like cancer and heart disease. But what is an antioxidant, anyway? And why would anything that’s anti-oxygen be good for you?&nbsp;Despite their name, antioxidants don’t work against oxygen. They work against a chemical reaction called oxidation, the same process that turns bananas black, rusts metal and makes oil rancid. Oxidation is the interaction between oxygen molecules and the substances they come in contact with. When that substance happens to be living tissue, damage and disease can occur.&nbsp;Oxidative damage, the harm caused by oxidation, is primarily caused by free radicals, highly reactive, unstable molecules that travel around the body wreaking havoc. Although free radicals can be generated by exposure to UV rays, toxins, cigarette smoke, microbes and other sources, the most common source is the oxygen molecule itself.<br /> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /> Oxygen typically travels throughout the body in pairs, and these two molecules share electrons. But sometimes this double molecule splits into two separate oxygen molecules called singlet oxygen. When this happens, there are no longer enough electrons to go around, so each oxygen molecule ends up one electron short. This destabilizes the molecule, in a sense throwing it off balance. In order too stabilize itself, it races off throughout the body in search of another electron.<br /> But singlet oxygen doesn’t just wait for a spare electron to float on by. Instead, it boldly steals one from some other molecule. This destabilizes the "new" molecule which, in turn, careens off to steal an electron from yet another molecule. The process ofserial "electron stealing" damages cells, tissues, organs and even entire body systems, and is believed to be a major cause of cancer, heart disease, aging and many other conditions.<br /> Antioxidants work against "electron stealing" by neutralizing and stabilizing free radicals. They do this by donating an electron so that singlet oxygen and other free radicals no longer have the urge to "steal." And while the body does produce a certain amount of antioxidants for the express purpose of taking care of such problems, it also needs the added help of antioxidants found in foods. Among others, these include beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, the mineral selenium, and various phytochemicals such as lycopene and quercetin. But the catechins, especially EGCg, are among the most powerful and effective antioxidants of all.<br /> <br /> <br /> Real-Tea Check<br /> <br /> Everyone knows that tea contains the antioxidant EGCG. But don't think you're getting those antioxidants from ready-to-drink bottles of tea that you find at the convenience store or grocery store. Oregon State University researches have found that freshly brewed green or black teas contain 10 to 100 times MORE antioxidants than bottled teas. According to an analyses by the US department of Agriculture, an eight ounce cup of bottled green te contains 9mg of the antioxidant EGCG while the same size cup of green tea contains 196mg.<br /> <br /> How many more milligrams of antioxidants does Salada Green tea have when compared to other foods known for their antioxidant properties?<br /> Antiox Values for Salada Products:<br /> Salada Black Tea 150 mg<br /> Salada Black Decaf 85mg<br /> Salada Green Tea 195mg<br /> Salada Green Decaf 110mg<br /> Salada White Tea 195mg<br /> Salada White Tea Decaf 126mg<br /> Salada White Tea Plum 165mg<br /> New Study shows citrus juice helps make tea even healthier for you. <a href="https://www.greentea.com/salada.aspx"></a><br /> <br /> The study finds specifically that citrus juices enable more of green tea's unique antioxidants to remain after simulated digestion, making the pairing even healther than previously thought. The study compared the effect of various beverage additives on catechins, which are the antioxidants naturally found in tea. The results suggest that citrus juices or vitamin C, when added to green tea likely increases the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb. November 2007. <a href="http://news.uns.purdue.edu/x/2007b/071113FerruzziTea.html">...More info</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> White Tea &amp; Green Tea Appear To Be Effective Antioxidants<br /> The flavonoid's in tea, especially the catechins, appear to be very effective antioxidants and help neutralize free radicals that can lead to cancer. A study at the University of Kansas concluded that the catechin EGCG was more than 100 times as effective as vitamin C at neutralizing free radicals. Several population studies show that people who drink tea have reduced risks of some types of cancer. Generally, people had to drink at least five cups a day to reap the benefit, but more research is needed in this area. Tea also appears to be particularly effective at reducing the damage caused by cigarette smokers. There is also evidence that green tea may inhibit tumor growth. According to the Tea Association of the USA, some preliminary studies find a correlation of tea consumption and the risk of certain types of cancer, including breast, lung and skin cancers and cancer of the mouth. Jeffrey Blumberg, Ph. D., F.A.C.N, Chief of the Antioxidants Research Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University said that “Recent research studies reveal the antioxidants in tea may inhibit the growth of cancer cells and support cardiovascular health."<br /> <br /> White Tea<br /> <br /> It has been found that in past studies using bacteria, white teas were more effective than green tea in inhibiting mutagenicity, ("a result of unrepaired/misrepaired DNA damage and an early step in the process leading to cancer"). White teas contained many of the expected polyphenols, some even found in higher concentrations in white tea than in green tea brewed under the same conditions. Caffeine was also present in higher levels in white tea than in green tea. Source: The Linus Pauling Institute - Oregon State University, March 2003.<br /> <br /> Green Tea<br /> <br /> Continuing research on the beneficial properties of green tea to human health has produced several new findings. Most notable is a study by Japanese scientists of the Saitama Cancer Research Institute relating the delay of cancer onset with the consumption of green tea. The study shows that early stage breast cancer spreads less rapidly in women with a history of drinking five or more cups of green tea a day. As a result, there is a lower recurrence rate and a longer disease-free period. With the evidence that green tea and EGCG, a catechin found only in green tea, are a natural and readily available inhibitor of TNF-, a gene expression which promotes the growth in cancer cells and in their surrounding tissue, it is possible for researchers to extend this idea to other various human diseases. Since EGCG has also been proven to kill cultured cancer cells without causing harm to surrounding healthy cells, green tea could be beneficial not only for cancer prevention but also in the therapy and prevention of other diseases. <br /> </div>Bashanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02664711873482775633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526137726957024879.post-51772038633678282712009-01-03T03:40:00.000-08:002009-12-20T21:41:11.850-08:00<div align="justify"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlogE1lwDerlmh7mTXlbJ4lOPpGQv4hLa1DlmpHG-bEYzhJDyo3AZLHgFxO-2pj7r8RI2_Md70IGQjssWYdDqGbt8MYhUslw7T2C6_NjPfDNQ5bh7elpnzjbEeanrzPUuf6C3ELns9WlI/s1600-h/401px-Red_Ribbon.svg.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlogE1lwDerlmh7mTXlbJ4lOPpGQv4hLa1DlmpHG-bEYzhJDyo3AZLHgFxO-2pj7r8RI2_Md70IGQjssWYdDqGbt8MYhUslw7T2C6_NjPfDNQ5bh7elpnzjbEeanrzPUuf6C3ELns9WlI/s200/401px-Red_Ribbon.svg.png" /></a><br /> </div>Drinking green tea could help in the fight against HIV, research suggests.&nbsp;Scientists found a component called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) prevents HIV from binding to immune system cells by getting there first.&nbsp;Once EGCG has bound to immune system cells there is no room for HIV to take hold in its usual fashion.<br /> However, experts said the joint UK and US work, which appears in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, was at a very preliminary stage.&nbsp;We suggest that it should be used in combination with conventional medicines to improve quality of life for those infected&nbsp;Professor Mike WilliamsonUniversity of Sheffield&nbsp;Researcher Professor Mike Williamson, of the University of Sheffield, said: "Our research shows that drinking green tea could reduce the risk of becoming infected by HIV, and could also slow down the spread of HIV.<br /> <a name='more'></a><br /> "It is not a cure, and nor is it a safe way to avoid infection, however, we suggest that it should be used in combination with conventional medicines to improve quality of life for those infected.<br /> "Future research is also currently under way in order to determine how much effect can be expected from different amounts of tea."<br /> More work needed<br /> Keith Alcorn, senior editor of the Aidsmap web service, said tests on animals would be needed before any conclusions could be safely drawn on the potential protective effect of drinking green tea.<br /> "This study only looks at the ability of a chemical in green tea to block HIV binding to human CD4 immune cells in the test tube.<br /> "Many substances shown to prevent HIV infection in the test tube turn out to have little or no effect in real life, so I think there's a long way to go before anyone should rely on green tea to protect against HIV infection."<br /> Lisa Power, head of policy at the HIV charity, Terrence Higgins Trust said: "Condoms keep HIV at bay.
