Herbal Tea Works Like A Herbal Medicine To Reduce Cholesterol

Green tea and cholesterol have a very deep relation

. Green tea, a herbal and medicinal supplement have high sedative and beneficial values to turn your body into a desired one. Herbal teas can be made with fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots, generally by pouring boiling water over the plant parts and letting them steamed for a few minutes. Seeds and roots can also be boiled on a stove. The tisane is then strained, sweetened if so desired, and served. Many companies produce herbal tea bags for such concoctions. On the other hand, flavoured teas are prepared by adding other plants to an actual tea (black, oolong, green, yellow, or white tea); for example, the popular Earl Grey tea is black tea with bergamot, jasmine tea is Chinese tea with jasmine flowers, and genmaicha is a Japanese green tea with toasted rice.

For the millions and millions of people suffering from high cholesterol green tea may be very light. Your one browse and search over the Internet for topics on green tea and cholesterol would make you land up with hundred of hits.

This new century is expected to become the century of medical miracles, the herbal green tea is one of those miracles according to various researches.

More good news is it's not just green tea and cholesterol; it's also green tea and cancer. Several studies have shown that the antioxidants are present in green tea. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of oesophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. A study by the University of Kansas determined that EGCG may explain why the rate of heart disease among Japanese men is quite low, even though approximately seventy-five percent are smokers. Habitually drinking 5 to 10 cups a day of green tea also lowers high blood pressure along with the increasing cholesterol.

For more that 4,000 years now, the Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since they are also using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. Drinking green tea also is reported to be helpful with rheumatoid arthritis, Cardio-vascular disease, infection, and impaired immune function.

Green tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a good anti-cancer element. Polyphenol limits the negative effects of smoking and a fatty diet; automatically reducing cholesterol thus. Herbal tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized while black and oolong tea leaves are made from dried or fermented leaves, which causes loss of EGCG.
