Green Tea

Green Tea is Possibly Effective for:

• Preventing dizziness upon standing up (orthostatic hypotension) in older people.
• Preventing bladder, esophageal, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. Women who regularly drink tea, including green tea or black tea, appear to have a significantly lower risk of developing ovarian cancer compared to women who never or seldom drink tea. In one study, women who drank 2 or more cups of green tea each day had a 46% lower risk of getting ovarian cancer than women who didn’t drink green tea.
• Reducing the risk or delaying the onset of Parkinson’s disease. Drinking one to four cups of green tea daily seems to provide the most protection against developing Parkinson’s.
• Low blood pressure. Green tea might help in elderly people who have low blood pressure after eating.
• Decreasing high levels of fat, like cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood (hyperlipidemia).
• Reducing abnormal development and growth of cells of the cervix (cervical dysplasia) caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection.
