Green tea shown to be a powerful defender against cardiovascular disease
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
New research conducted at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is
demonstrating that green tea blocks the formation of plaque in the
arteries -- atherosclerosis. Green tea has long been used as a powerful
healing herb for heart disease patients, and this new research certainly
backs that up. The green tea phytochemicals used in the study, however,
did not reduce existing plaque in the arteries; they only prevented new
plaque from forming. The studies just keep on coming, and green tea
increasingly looks like a multi-talented healing herb. Its anti-cancer
properties are very well known in the naturopathic community, its
ability to counter mental depression is widely recognized, and its
efficacy as a weight loss herb is also soundly documented. Now, it
appears, we can add cardiovascular disease to the long list of
conditions that can be aided by the consumption of green tea.
By the
way, you don't have to drink green tea in order to use it: just take it
in capsule form. Green tea is readily available as a nutritional
supplement.
