A recent study conducted by some renowned institutes suggested that regular drinking of green tea may inhibit the early onset of metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster condition associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, including abnormal high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and cholesterol together with excess body fat around the waist.
People with 3 of the above medical conditions are considered to have metabolic syndrome.
According to statistics, approximately, 25% of the US adult population has metabolic syndrome.
Some researchers suggested that the syndrome is also associated with the condition of obesity as they share a similar component of insulin resistance.
Truly, the syndrome is not caused by a single condition but is associated with a collection of risk factors,
including increases with age. race, obesity, diabetes, and other diseases (cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or polycystic ovary syndrome).
The joint study led by the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine investigated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components among U.S. adults, using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2014 data suggested, ".... from 2007 to 2014, the prevalence of MetS remained stable in all sex, age, and race/ethnicity groups. Among the components of MetS, the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and fasting hyperglycemia decreased". and "The prevalence of elevated blood pressure and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level remained stable"(4).
Further analysis of the data, scientists found that the prevalence of abdominal obesity continues to increase in women, which can have a strong and lifelong impact on the induction of a higher risk of metabolic syndrome.
Green tea, a precious drink processes a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.
In a cross-sectional population-based survey including 8,821 adults (51.4% female) conducted in Krakow, Poland., both coffee and tea drinkers showed a negatively associated with MetS (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.66, 0.86, and OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.67, 0.92, respectively).
The study also found that high tea consumers had lower BMI, and waist circumference, but moderated decreased diastolic blood pressure, as well as negatively correlated central obesity and fasting plasma glucose in women, but not in men, in compared low drinkers,
Furthermore, in the study including 8821 adults (51.4 % female), using food frequency questionnaires and matching food consumption data with the Phenol-Explorer database. conducted in Kraków, Poland, dietary polyphenol intake, a major compound found in green tea was associated inversely to the development of MetS (OR 0.80; 95 % CI 0.64, 0.98, and OR 0.70; 95 % CI 0.56, 0.86 for both men and women, respectively) in the highest quartile.
Dietary polyphenols in high quality also showed a negative association of WC, blood pressure, high lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides in women, and fasting plasma glucose in both genders.
Dr. Grosso G, the lead author said, "(Depending on types of polyphenols) phenolic acids and stilbenes were significantly associated with MetS; lignans and stilbenes with WC; phenolic acids with blood pressure and triglycerides; and flavonoids with fasting plasma glucose" and " Among specific subclasses of polyphenols, hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonols, and dihydrochalcones had the most relevant role."
In support, of the role of a polyphenol for the treatment of Metabolic syndrome, a study of a total of 2725 participants free of hypertension at baseline tested for blood pressure or taking hypertensive medication within the last 2 weeks at 2-4-year follow-up visit was conducted by the Integrated Cancer Registry of Catania-Messina-Siracusa-Enna.
The final results showed that the diet of the highest quartile of total polyphenol intake was associated with a 31% decrease in the risk of hypertension compared with the lowest intake (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.48, 0.98) in women with no significant association in men.
The study also stated that the most influential phytochemicals in reduced risk and treatment of metabolic syndrome ingredients are phenolic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids as they showed an independently associated with lower odds of hypertension (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.47, 0.93) in comparison to others.
Taking together, green tea with major chemical compounds of polyphenol may be used as a functional food in inhibiting a cluster of conditions associated with the onset of metabolic syndrome.
