昨天晚上听了一个关于保健的讲座,很受感染。其实人的健康真很重要的，特别是现在的年代,
是肥胖高血脂的年代，其实这些都是跟平时的饮食习惯有很大的关系。王均瑶的突然离去，给一
帮高级管理阶层的健康敲响了警钟。
     在讲座中，推荐的6大健康饮料：绿茶、红酒、豆奶、骨头汤、酸奶、蘑菇汤。很欣喜，这么
多饮料中，除了豆奶不是很是很喜欢以外，其他都喜欢。其实我初中的时候开始喝的，慢慢的成了
一种习惯。随便粗茶，照样喝的有滋有味。曾经被一个网友戏称“无法忍受一个拿着茶壶喝茶的男
人”，其实那个茶壶，是我买的“泥壶”。买不起“紫沙”，弄个泥壶照样喝的不亦乐乎，何必
在意太多，喝的高兴就好。
     

Health Benefits of Green Tea

There are four primary polyphenols in green tea and they are often collectively referred to as catechins.  

Powerful antioxidants, catechins have been shown in recent studies to fight viruses, slow aging, and have a beneficial effect on health. Clinical tests have shown that catechins destroy free radicals and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body.  

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage the body at the cellular level leaving the body susceptible to cancer, heart disease, and many other degenerative diseases.

Green tea antioxidants have been shown to lower cholesterol.

EGCG is a potent antioxidant.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an antioxidant found in green tea, is at least 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. This antioxidant has twice the benefits of resveratrol, found in red wine.

Special Benefits of Green Tea
Reduces high blood pressure.  Drinking green tea represses angiotensin II which leads to high blood pressure.

Lowers blood sugar. Green tea polyphenols and polysaccharides are effective in lowering blood sugar.

Fights cancer. There have been many studies that have shown that green tea catechins are effective at preventing cancer.

Green tea also boosts the immune system because of its high concentrations of polyphenols and flavenoids.

Citizens of Uji and Shizuoka, where we get our teas (and where most green tea in Japan is harvested) have among the lowest rates of cancer in the world. They drink more high quality green tea, per capita,  than residents of any other region in Japan.  

   ● High grade green teas contain more polyphenols than ordinary teas. They are also delicious!

   ● Unfermented green tea leaves are the least processed form of tea. Drinking green tea from 100% quality tea leaves is the most natural way to gain these health benefits.
