Raya Green Tea

About 80% to 90% of the polyphenols in green tea are made up of a special group of tannins called catechins. Stress, bad nutrition, toxins in our diet or in the air, smoking and other aspects of modern life can cause oxidation. This is the process whereby free radical molecules created through some kind of stress on the body cause damage to the body’s own cells. Many diseases are related to high levels of oxidative stress. Some of these are: accelerated aging, skin aging, heart disease and cancer. In studies to test the antioxidant power of green tea, it has been shown that green tea is anywhere between 25 and 100 times more potent than vitamins C or E in protecting the body’s cells from oxidation. Not to mention that tea actually contains vitamin C. One study by the national cancer institute found that catechins can actually protect cells from the damage caused by radiation. That’s how positive the effects can be.Green tea and heart disease: Green tea helps prevent heart disease and stroke by lowering the level of cholesterol.
