Health Information

Green Tea manufacture differs from black tea in that the leaf enzyme is inactivated so that fermentation does not take place. This favourably alters the balance of natural compounds to give a superb drink for all seasons, whether consumed hot or chilled. A dash of lemon, a touch of clove, a slice of fresh ginger, mint or a herb of your choice, all enhance its appeal. Generally, milk is not added. This tea has strong antioxidant properties. Japanese scientists believe that green tea can inhibit the growth of cancer tumours in humans, but especially cancers of the oesophagus, stomach and intestine. As well as this, it has been found to reduce the incidence of heart disease. The effect of green tea drinking was analysed on 1871 men who lived in Yoshimi, Japan where the most common beverage is green tea. The study found that the tea reduced the incidence of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular diseases in general. It was also shown to improve liver function, therefore providing some protection against liver, colon and lung cancer. Another side effect of drinking green tea appears to as an aid for weight loss. This is due to green teas ability to produce thermo genesis. The body carries 2 types of fat - Brown fat, which sits against the skeleton and yellow fat which collects around our fatty areas and increases as we put weight on. Our brown fat cells act to burn off excess yellow fat when we start to loose weight, an activity that creates heat and is known as Thermo genesis. Green tea contains a group of components which, it is thought, increase the metabolic activity of brown fat and helps it to burn off yellow fat more quickly. Many herbalists recommend drinking green tea after meals to protect teeth and gums because it contains high levels of natural fluoride. Green tea contains high levels of the potent antioxidant Polyphenols. This component is what gives green tea its powerful protectant properties. The addition of Papaya leaf compliments the Green tea with its potent healing action on chronic disease conditions.
