Chinese Green Tea Diet

Did you know that during the Boston Tea Party, the tea that was dumped into the harbor was mostly Chinese green tea? Well, this delightful beverage has been around for thousands of years and has been part of the Chinese diet since the ancient times. Today, it is highly appreciated for its advantages. As numerous studies have found out, the Chinese diet green tea has a significant number of health benefits.

Origin and Background

As noted, Chinese green tea has been around for thousands of year, approximately 4,000 years. Legend has it that this delightful brew was discovered accidentally by a Chinese emperor. It comes from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis, as traditional black tea and oolong tea. And, for centuries, Chinese medicine has used it to treat headaches, digestive problems, lack of energy, and immune enhancement.

The Chinese diet green tea is actually produced by steaming the fresh tea leaves at high temperatures, leaving a significant part of the nutritional enzyme content intact. Unlike the black and oolong tea, the green tea is never fermented.

Instead, its leaves bypass the fermenting process and steamed, baked or pan heated. The leaves are rolled and those tightly rolled leaves have long been considered as a sign of quality.

Chinese Diet Green Tea for Weight Loss

One particular claim that linked the Chinese green tea to diet is its being a miracle tea for weight loss. Well, there is no such thing as a “miracle” weight loss food or drug though, but several indications were revealed that Chinese green tea brings a number of benefits to those trying to lose weight.

It was revealed that green tea extracts are capable of reducing fat digestion by inhibiting digestive enzymes. Other studies have shown that green tea has thermogenic properties, which are probably brought on by the interaction between its caffeine content and catechin polyphenols. As you may know, thermogenesis is the process of the body burning fuel without making chemical energy.

Experts have said that of combined with the other weight loss supplements or techniques, the Chinese green tea could be an excellent addition to your diet.

Other Benefits

There are also other benefits connected with the intake of Chinese diet green tea. One of those is the claim that the polyphenols found in green tea have been shown to inhibit growth of cancer cells. The polyphenols appear to block the formation of cancer-causing compounds, and it is believed that the Chinese diet green tea has the greatest benefit on cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.

The Chinese diet green tea polyphenols are also powerful anti-oxidants. They are even more powerful than vitamin C and vitamin E, and more powerful than that found in many fruits and vegetables. The green tea itself contains vitamin C.

Further researches even found out that the compounds in green tea stimulate immune system cells. In recent years, research has shown that green tea may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is even good for the teeth as it contain fluoride that helps fight tooth decay.

Having said all these, I think that now is the right time to brew up a bit of Chinese diet green teas for a beneficial break in your day.

Tired All The Time?

Many people have the same problem that I had. I was tired all the time, and I knew it is because I was not sleeping well. Many don’t sleep well and there are many reasons why this happens.

I know why it was happening to me, but for the most part, some folks don’t even realize what is going on. They go to bed and wake up the next morning feeling anything but rested, and they don’t know that something is going on while they are sleeping.

I knew why I was tired all the time, and my problems pile on top of each other. I had problems falling asleep each night, and sometimes I did'nt nod off until after three or four AM. I have a problem turning my mind off, and this had been a problem for me for a few months.

On top of that, I had a horrible bed, and the person who sleeps next to me should by all rights be exiled to the couch. It’s like she’s running a race in her sleep some nights. It’s no wonder I felt tired all the time.

If you feel tired all the time, you should consider that you might need a new or bigger bed. In my case I needed a new bed that is more comfortable, and we also needed to get a bigger size so that my wife is not bumping into me all night as she moves around.

I also had to find ways to calm my mind down before I go to sleep or this feeling tired all the time mode I was in might of followed me around for a very long time.

You should also make sure there is no light in your room keeping you alert, and have a white noise machine to keep out jarring noises. You may sleep through them, but you might be waking up all the time and not remembering it.

If none of these things seem to be the reason behind the fact that you are tired all the time, you should see a doctor to see if you have an underlying medical condition. There are some things that can go wrong with your body that you may not know until symptoms start to pop up.

Being tired all the time can mean that there is something going on that needs medical attention. The sooner you get help the sooner you can start to feel rested when you wake up in the morning.

To A Better Tomorrow!
