A recent study conducted by a respectable institute suggested that green tea may have a potential effect in reducing the risk and treatment of coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery disease is a condition of narrowing coronary arteries, caused by a hardening arterial wall, and cholesterol building up in the arteries, leading to blockage of the blood flow in the arteries.
Green tea, a precious drink processes a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long-term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, inducing "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weakened immunity and painful cases of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. Adding a slice of ginger will do the trick of neutralization.
According to the review of literature of a study of 22 healthy volunteers, injection of green tea 7 cups/day exhibited anti-cholesterol effects through modifying the low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) concentrations and decreasing plasma C-reactive protein and interleukin (IL)-6 concentrations involving inflammatory expression.
Green tea consumption of less than 1 cup a day in 725 patients undergoing coronary angiography, is found to be associated with a lower risk of myocardial infarction (MI) compared to CVD patients without MI and patients without CAD.
Dr. Ohmori R, the lead author said," Green tea consumption was found to be inversely associated with MI in Japanese patients" and " The protective effect of green tea against atherosclerosis is more likely to be because of the inhibitory effect of LDL oxidation than because of anti-inflammatory effect.".
Additionally, the Japanese population with a green tea drinking habit, showed a significantly reduced risk of a decreased incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD), due to the presence of abundant polyphenolic antioxidants.
In a group of 203 patients who underwent coronary angiography (109 patients with significant coronary stenosis and 94 patients without), coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated inversely with the regular green tea drinking group.
The study showed that green tea intake per day was an independent predictor for CVD based on a multivariate logistic regression analysis. but not a predictor of cardiovascular diseases based on the Cox proportional hazard model.
Continuously, in researching the data of PUBMED and EMBASE for studies conducted from 1966 through November 2009 filed the following results:
1. 5 studies on green tea. indicated the lower relative risk depends significantly between the highest green tea consumption and reduced risk of CVD.
2. The risk of CVD is reduced by 10% for every additional cup of green tea intake.
Taken together, green tea may be used as a functional food for healthy adults with a higher risk of CVD.
However, long-term and large amounts of green tea consumption should be taken with care to prevent toxicity.
