Green Tea and Good Health

These days there is a fair amount of empirical support for the contention that drinking green tea is a healthy habit, but it is only during thw past several decades that any formal studies have been carried out on the subject.
Scientific interest in the drink was triggered in the 1970s when Japanese researchers made the observation that the people in Shizuoka, Japan had a amuch lower incidence of stomach cancer than people in other parts of the country. Subsequent in-depth studies showed that the difference was not limited to stomach cancer; that the population of Shizuoka actually had much lower rates of all types of cancer. It did not take long for attention to focus on green tea as it was commonly known that more of the brew is consumed in Shizuoka than in any other part of Japan, or probably, of the world.
Green tea and black tea are actually made from the same leaves but by different processess. Most tea-producing countries ferment their leaves to make either oolong or black tea. The Japanese do not ferment the tea leaves, but instead steam them right after they have been picked. The activity of the fermenting enzyme is thereby syopped, and the tea leaves retain their green color. This is also thought to preserve the bene ficial chemical compounds contained in the leaf.

===================================================

1. Recently, we figure out our health benefit from drinking green tea. Because Japanese researchers observe that people living in Shizuoka have lower opportunities to get cancers, they start to study the making processe. They prove that the reason of limiting a cancer is steaming the leaves. Because of the different way, it can preserve the beneficial chemical compounds.

When it comes to choosing a kind of drinking, green tea is usually my first choice. That's the reason that I choose this article. Not only it is good to drink but also it benefit our health. Some people will tell you drinking green tea can reduce the possibilities of getting the cancer and others will tell you it also can make you more beautiful. Actually I do not know what are elements in the leaves causing this result? But I think it is not very important.
In the end, I have to say another important thing. Do not drinking too much. It will be agrypnotic.
