If you thought that green tea was just a weight loss product you’d be wrong. There are so many health benefits of green tea which is why everyone should be drinking it.
In Asia, people have been drinking it for centuries and has long been believed to help all kinds of different conditions. Another interesting things is that Asians also happen to have less heart disease and cancer.
Green tea has been extensively studied all over the world and one of the interesting benefits is cancer prevention.
Skin cancer is often prevented just by protecting your skin from the sun. Yet despite this fact, people continue to go out sun worshiping without any protection at all.
Although there has been a lot of researching of different skin cancer treatments, green tea is certainly looking very promising. There was a study carried out by the Alternative Medicine Review that showed great results in mice.
Basically the mice were exposed to 7 different carcinogens that are thought to contribute to skin cancer. The mice were then separated into groups and each of the groups were given different green tea treatments.
Some of the treatments involved giving the mice green tea instead of water whilst others had the tea applied to their skin. After the treatments, it was discovered that all the mice benefited from the tea – whether taken orally or topically.
All of the different groups of mice involved found that green tea was excellent at preventing skin cancer. It was found that tea, when applied to the skin, prevented the skin cells from becoming cancerous.
As for the mice that had already developed skin cancer, both kinds of green tea treatment helped to slow down cancer growth. It could even help to zaping the cancer cells that were already there.
It’s still early days to fully understanding the benefits of green tea and treating cancer. However, as you can see, there’s a great deal of excitement for the future.
Of course, this is not to say you can go out in the sun as long as you’re drinking green tea on a regular basis. You should always do what you can to prevent cancer so this means applying sun factor and also having a healthy lifestyle. However it’s nice to know that when you’re drinking Tava Tea there are more benefits that you might have expected.
