Medicine from Golden Tips Tea |
| Golden
Tips Tea offers exclusive
health teas such as 'Green
Tea' which is rich
in medical properties. We have
already approached some of leading
Medical Centers
of India. Our "Green
Tea" is often prescribed
by Heart Specialist
as a measure to reduce and curb
heart problem. A seminar
on the effect of Green
tea for the practitioners
of Apollo
Hospital at Chennai (India)
has produced an awareness of the
positive effects. The provision
store at the hospital now sells
a huge quantity of Green
tea. |

The
health benefits of
Green Tea:
Green tea specifically
has been associated
with protection against
certain types of cancer
including lung, stomach
cancer and its precancerous
condition, gastritis.
Moreover, an observational
study in Japan found
that the regular consumption
of green tea (more
than 3 cups a day)
might be protective
against recurrence
of breast cancer in
the early stages.
In addition to its
potential anticarcinogenic
and antioxidant effects,
other studies have
shown green tea to
have anti-inflammatory,
antithrombotic, cholesterol
lowering, antiviral
and antibacterial
properties.
Green
tea and skin protection:
A number of animal
studies have shown
that topical treatment
or oral consumption
of green tea polyphenols,
inhibit chemical carcinogen
or ultraviolet radiation-induced
skin tumours in different
animal models. Treatment
of green tea polyphenols
to skin has been shown
to have a beneficial
effect on the biochemical
pathways involved
in skin inflammation,
cell proliferation
and chemical tumour
promoters. These results
have been confirmed
in a human model,
where topical application
of green tea polyphenols
protected against
UV light induced DNA
damage. Based on results
mainly from animal
studies, many companies
are now supplementing
their skin care products
with green tea extracts.
Green
tea extract and weight
loss:
Preliminary research
published in the American
Journal of Clinical
Nutrition suggests
that an extract from
green tea may help
with weight loss by
speeding up fat oxidation.
In this study, researchers
conducted a 6 week
study of 10 healthy
men in their 20's
and found that those
men who were given
a green tea extract
used more calories
in a day than those
who did not.

Possible
Link between Green Tea and
Arthritis Prevention
Rheumatoid arthritis is
a systemic disease and is
one of the most common forms
of arthritis. According
to an April 13, 1999 news
release from the Arthritis
Foundation, the disease
affects 2.1 million Americans
(i.e., 1.5; million women,
600,000 men), and usually
strikes in middle age. Researchers
conducting a study funded
by the Arthritis Foundation
report that green
tea may
be useful in treating or
preventing rheumatoid arthritis;
however, more research is
needed to determine its
exact role. According to
the release, the polyphenolic
compounds present in green
tea may
limit the onset and subsequent
progression of rheumatoid
arthritis. Polyphenols are
a class of compounds that
have strong antioxidant
properties (i.e., the ability
to halt enzymes that produce
carcinogens).
In three independent experiments,
the mice that researchers
gave green
tea polyphenols
(GTP) in water exhibited
significantly reduced incidence
of arthritis (i.e., 33%
to 50% developed arthritis
as compared to 84% to 100%
of mice not given GTP in
water). According to the
release, mice given GTP
in water were protected
significantly from developing
arthritis, and if they did
develop the disease, its
severity was mild. More
testing is needed with humans
to determine the role of
green
tea in the
treatment and prevention
of rheumatoid arthritis.
