Green Tea - Excellent for Mental and Physical Health


The Advantages of Following a Green Tea Diet by Eddie Lamb




As many of us are aware, the health benefits of green tea create something special that is above and beyond the ideology of just another great cup of tea. There are many advantages and benefits that you can receive from following a green tea diet, although it should be forewarned that green tea does contain caffeine. So, if you have conditions where caffeine might affect you in a negative way, or if you are pregnant, for instance, you should remember that it is incredibly important to consult with your physician before adding green tea into your regular diet.



What are the Advantages of a Green Tea Diet?

There are many advantages that you can receive from putting yourself on a green tea diet, such as the fact that a green tea diet can help you to fight off and even prevent Alzheimer's; a British study found that drinking green tea actually inhibited three important brain-battering chemicals, which are: acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and beta-secretase.

Basically what this means is that these are three chemical culprits that are associated with the breaking down of chemical messengers and forming plaques and protein deposits in the brain's gray matter, therefore being definite hindrances to crystal clear thinking.

As well, incorporating a green tea diet into your daily intake of consumables may also be helpful in warding off the flu, according to researchers across the world. This is because drinking green tea helps to stimulate those gamma-delta T cells that help to boost immunity against such viruses as the flu, and there is in fact a quite remarkable substance that is found in green tea that triggers those T cells to secrete that of a staggering 10 times their normal output of virus-battling interferon.

In fact, even gargling with green tea can help to coat the oral cavity's membranes with one of green tea's most potent components, which is that of catechins, and these are what successfully neutralize the vicious virus.

Green tea has also been shown to dramatically help in regards to weight loss, as recent studies have shown that a diet with green tea greatly increases metabolism and oxidizes fat as well, all the while without raising the heart rate. The heart-rate factor also merits incredible significance because increased heart rates can lead to adverse cardiac effects. Also, since there are only two basic ways to get rid of fat, which are decreasing food intake and increasing energy expenditure; this makes green tea a much-needed helper for those who are unable to do either successfully.
