Maximize the Benefits of Green Tea

5/31/2016

Tea is drank for a variety of reasons- to improve blood flow, eliminate toxins, increase resistance to various diseases, and simply because it tastes good. In recent years the proposed benefits of tea, specifically green tea, have come into light for public consumption. Interestingly, how the tea is steeped and the quality of tea leaf both play a role in the benefits you receive.
What are the benefits of green tea?
The green tea root is rich in polyphenols - an antioxidant also found in wine. The polyphenols contain flavonoids, specifically, Epigallocatechin (EGCG), which has the most widely known health benefits. EGCG contains high levels of antioxidants, protecting the body from free radicals and toxins that enter our body through our diet and environment. Medical research has found a high association between the presence of free radicals and cancer, which is why many studies have found negative correlations between green tea consumption and the risk of cancer. The benefits of green tea go beyond decreasing one’s risk of cancer. Green tea has shown a positive correlation with heart health as well. A pharmacokinetics Japanese study showed a decrease in low density lipoprotein cholesterol by 36% versus those who did not consume green tea. 
Drinking green tea is a simple strategy to fight your risk of high cholesterol, curb the effects of high blood pressure, and ultimately decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease. Other research has shown green tea to protect the liver from toxic substances. One of the most common toxins that our livers fight is alcohol. With all the breweries in Colorado, maybe a cup of green tea before indulging in your favorite beverage could jumpstart your liver!

Maximizing the benefits of green tea
Green tea has exceptional health benefits, but if the tea is not prepared properly, all of nutritional benefits and desired taste cannot be extracted. Green tea is best prepared between 140-185 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking tea at a higher temperatures will affect the bitterness and acidity levels of the tea. If you have ever drank green tea and had the residue of a dark red wine on your palate, you likely overheated your water. At higher temperatures, the polyphenols (tannins) dissolve and create a dry bitterness on the palate. In addition to temperature, consider the quality of tea you are purchasing. Generally, higher quality tea can be brewed at a lower temperature. Finally, steep time will change the balance of your green tea. Steep your for 1-3 minutes to achieve optimal flavor and benefits.

This post was inspired by my recent trip to Celestial Seasonings in Boulder, CO. Their tour discussed the tea making process and the benefits of drinking tea. Plus, it was full of free tastings. ​Hair nets strictly enforced for cleanliness!

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]
