The Health Benefits Of Green Tea

The Health Benefits of Green Tea

By Joseph Parish

Have you recently found that as the inception of fall and wintertime arrives, you are inclined to catch more colds and virus, then you normally would? This may conceivably be due to the brisk changes that we are experiencing with the weather. In my region of the country we undergo warm daytime temperatures while our evenings, abruptly plunge to the 30's or 40's. This kind of shifting temperature changes is likely to bring about cold symptoms rather hastily.

As they say there is nothing that we can do about the weather, conversely, there is plenty that we can accomplish towards improving our immune system. Green tea has been reputed to combat virus in the plants grown by the tobacco farmers of the south. It appears that one of the active constituents found in the green tea averts crop damage that results from the tobacco mosaic virus. This component of the tea is none other than catechin, which provides us with the antioxidant for which the tea has become synonymous with.

During research tests it was revealed that the catechin has a very strapping effect upon the influenza virus as well. It seems to attach, and deactivate the virus, causing it to appear dormant. For us it means we are quickly over the dreaded flu or virus that we inadvertently caught. By merely drinking a daily cup or two of green tea, we can drastically improve our immune system to the point where we are virtually virus free.

It was an encouraging situation when this virus fighting attribute was discovered for it tended to unlock several additional avenues towards possibly resolving the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS virus. By all indications, this much feared infectious disease may perchance be heading in the direction of many other previously conquered diseases.
