Reduce Your Cancer Risk – Drink Green Tea

Today, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United

States and its incidence has risen dramatically over the last 50

years. This leads scientists to the conclusion that our lifestyle

and environment must play an important role in whether or not we

develop cancer.

There is still much more to learn about the factors that

influence cancer development, but in the meantime, we should take

to heart the things that we know cause cancer, and those that we

believe can prevent it. Here are some things you can do to reduce

your risk.

The first is eating a healthy diet, rich in fruits and

vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are rich in anti-oxidants,

which can prevent cancer and other diseases. Anti-oxidants are

very effective at combating free radicals that are created in our

bodies as we process food. We can't stop these free radicals

from occurring, but we can combat them with anti-oxidants. If we

don't combat them they cause damage to our cells and DNA, and

this is what leads to premature aging and disease.

If you want to significantly increase the anti-oxidant level in

your diet, pay special attention to the foods that can give you

the most value. Get your fair share of artichokes, red beans,

blueberries, pomegranates, tomatoes and green tea. Yes, that's

right – green tea.

In fact, in terms of dietary changes to help prevent cancer,

green tea may be the very best thing you can add to your diet.

There has been much research in recent years on the effects green

tea has in preventing, and even treating cancer. Many studies

have shown that green tea's anti-oxidant power can be a powerful

preventative against cancer. Not only is this suggested by the

significantly lower cancer rate in Asian countries where green

tea is widely consumed, but many studies have supported this

theory.

In 1999, the Alternative Medicine Review reported that green tea

appears to affect cancer in many ways. First, it is a powerful

free radical scavenger, and destroys more free radicals than many

other forms of anti-oxidants.

Secondly, green tea seems to have the power to inhibit the growth

of abnormal cells, many of which might have started as, or turned

into cancer cells. Green tea also appears to be a very strong

detoxifying agent, helping to rid the body of potentially harmful

substances.

Finally, the Alternative Medicine Review reported that green tea

inhibits the growth of cancer cells. Therefore, even in patients

who have already been diagnosed with cancer, green tea may be

helpful, because it may prevent the cancer from spreading.

Other studies have also shown that green tea can be an effective

adjunct therapy for cancer, not only because it appears to

inhibit the spread of cancer, but also because it makes

traditional therapies more effective. One study showed that when

mice were given green tea in conjunction with chemotherapy, the

chemotherapy drugs invaded the cancer cells in higher

concentration than when the chemotherapy was administered alone.

Another recent study of breast cancer patients in stages one and

two showed a significantly lower rate of cancer recurrence when

the patients were given large doses of green tea.

Making Green Tea Part of Your Life

If you'd like to add green tea to your diet for its health

effects, many doctors recommend that you start with about three

cups per day. Experiment with the many flavors of green tea that

are on the market, or stick with the traditional green tea so

popular in Asian restaurants. Either will have the health

benefits – hot or iced.

While most American doctors recommend that you begin with 3 cups

of green tea per day, you should know that in Asian cultures most

people drink significantly more than that. The average in China

is 4-5 cups a day, and in Japan it's estimated to be as high as

8-10 cups per day. If you don't think you can manage that much

tea in a day, there are green tea extract supplements available

at many drug stores and health food stores.

One of the great things about using green tea as a preventative

treatment is that there are no side effects. Green tea is healthy

and safe even to give to your children. Green tea has

significantly less caffeine that coffee and even has less

caffeine that traditional black tea. So, it's well tolerated by

nearly everyone.

In addition to research showing that green tea helps prevent

cancer, there is also evidence to suggest that it reduces your

risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and

Alzheimer's disease. It is also thought to slow down the overall

aging process. So, what do you have to lose? It seems there is no

downside to drinking green tea and there may be a great many

benefits.
