Green Tea Great For Fighting Colon Cancer

When you receive the Seal you begin to take care of your body, and nurse it back to health. One of the little things you can do for your health is switch from coffee to green tea, which recent studies show has even more health benefits.
The new research was unveiled at the Sixth Annual Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention which was held by the American Association for Cancer Research.

The research shows that a polyphenol preparation made from green tea (called Polyphenon E) inhibits the growth of colorectal tumors in rats when they are also being treated with something that causes the tumors.

Colorectal tumors happen when colon cancer is growing. So when Polyphenon E stops the growth of the tumors, it is stopping the spread of colon cancer. It has not been done in humans yet, but it reveal yet another health benefit of green tea.

The researchers say that rats eating a diet containing Polyphenon E are "less than half as likely" to suffer the spread of colon cancer. These results confirm those from a study done in China showing that green tea caused lower rates of cancer.

A number of other studies have also concluded successfully that green tea suppresses cancer growth. How does it do it? By the powerful effects of its main antioxidant, epigallocatechin 3-gallate, also known as EGCg.

Free radicals are molecules which can roam free in the body and damage healthy cells. They can damage your DNA so you no longer produce the same healthy cells, but you now produce only damaged cells.

If you drink large amounts of alcohol or smoke tobacco your body will suffer a greater number of free radicals roaming about inside it. Your natural defense against free radicals is antioxidants like those found in green tea.

The EGCg found in green tea is a particularly powerful antioxidant when it comes to fighting free radicals. It is 100 times more powerful than Vitamin C, 25 times more powerful than Vitamin E, and twice as powerful as resveratrol, the antioxidant found in red wine.

Green tea is considered effective in preventing and curing from other types of disease too. Rheumatoid arthritis is a common one that green tea fights while it is trying to develop.

Another couple of big killers green tea can help put to rest are high cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease. Green tea is also helpful in weight loss, although for weight loss oolong tea is more effective.

Diabetes is another disease becoming much more common. Green tea can help stifle the development of diabetes. And Alzheimer's disease is becoming more popular with many people in the West aging. Green tea fights Alzheimer's.

And there is yet another health benefit of green tea that does not involve one of the well-known and deadly diseases but it yet a quite important measure of prevention. Green tea helps fight tooth decay, killing the plaque which is always trying to grow on your teeth.

Just like it kills plaque, green tea kills the bacteria which could lead to food poisoning, protecting you from yet another threat to your health. And green tea is good for the skin, preventing acne as well as improving the appearance of the skin.

When you are sealed you begin to notice the wonders of God's Creation. He gave you green tea to help your body fight against a multitude of diseases. You will begin to notice this and other wonders of His creation when you receive the Seal.
