Green tea exhibited anti inflammatory effect in reduced symptoms and progression of
Rheumatoid Arthritis, a renowned institute study suggested

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body after the ages of 40 and causing diminished quality of life of many elder.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit 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, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including dizziness, low energy, weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

According to the joint study lead by Washington State University College of Pharmacy, green tea (EGCG, EGC, and EC) showed to ameliorate the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators including (IL-6 and IL-8) and Cox-2 in primary human rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs), through the effects of its phytochemical compounds of EGCG and EGC antioxidant activities.

Dr. Fechtner S, the lead researcher said," EGCG is the most effective catechin at inhibiting downstream inflammatory signaling, its effectiveness could be hindered by the presence of (epicatechin) EC".

In the investigation of the anti-inflammatory activity of green versus black tea aqueous extract in a rat model with orally/daily distilled water as placebo, indomethacin (1.0 mg/kg body weight; a non-steroidal/anti-inflammatory drug), or tea aqueous extracts (for 28 or 14 consecutive days administrated from day 0 or 14 of arthritis induction, respectively), group treated with high dose of GTE (from day 0) significantly alleviated (P < 0.05-0.001) the progression and all complications induced by rheumatoid arthritis in compared placebo.

More importantly, Researchers also found that the expression of anti-arthritic activity of the high dose of GTE (from day 0) mediated by significantly decreasing the systemic production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the expression of chemokine receptor-5, a protein in activated immune activities in the in synovial tissues,was comparable (P > 0.05) with that of indomethacin (12.9-53.8 vs. 9.5-48.4%, respectively).
Furthermore, the anti-arthritic potency of tea aqueous extracts was doses dependent in the order of high dose of GTE > low dose of GTE ≥ high dose of BTE > low dose of BTE.

Other study suggested that green tea extract in reduced symptoms and riak of complication probably are the result in regulating chemokine(a family of cytokines secreted by cells) production in immune reaction and chemokine receptor expression in interaction with proimflammatory cytokines of human RA synovial fibroblasts in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA).

Taking together, green tea nay be served as a functional food to reduce symptoms and risk of complication for patients with  rheumatoid arthritis.

Chaste tree berry may have a potential effect in ameliorated the symptoms of severe uterine pain in women with primary dysmenorrhea.

Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) is a condition of severe uterine pain during menstruation. Some women may experience periodic pains during or prior to, or after menstrual periods in the lower abdomen as resulting of over production of certain hormones in the prostaglandins family

Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

According to the Nenehatun Hospital, In animal models, Chaste tree berry treatment significantly reduced symptoms of severe primary dysmenorrhea in the the end of third month of therapy.

In a total of total of 60 women with severe primary dysmenorrhea and 30 healthy women (control) included in this study. 30 patients treated with ethinyl estradiol 0.03 mg/drospirenone (group 1) and another 30 treated with Fructus agni casti (group 2) during three menstrual cycles using the visual analog scale (VAS) scores, pulsatility index (PI), herbal plant treated group showed a higher mean PI and RI values in patients with severe primary dysmenorrhea in compared control groups on the first day of the first menstrual cycle (P < 0.0001) but the means of both values were significantly lower after the treatment in both groups compared to before values (P < 0.001 for both),

Additionally, researchers also found an increased uterine blood flow but no significant differences in terms of Doppler findings between group 1 and 2, as women with severe symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea exhibited normally a high impedance to blood flow in uterine arteries with a preserved cyclic pattern throughout the whole cycle.

Dr. Aksoy AN, the lead author in the study said, "The effectiveness of Fructus agni casti was similar to that of ethinyl estradiol/drospirenone in patients with primary dysmenorrhea"

Other researchers also insisted that the efficacy of Chaste tree berry in reduced pain may be associated to the antinociceptive and analgesic activities, according to the petroleum ether fraction (PEF) from the aqueous ethanol extract of Vitex negundo Linn. (Verbenaceae) seeds injection into mice study conducted by the Second Military Medical University.

More importantly, other member of the Vitex group such as Vitex doniana extract may also have an effect in reduced uterine pain through regulating the hormone production of prostaglandins, ergometrine and oxytocin which are found to have a direct involvement of uterine muscle contractions.

Taking together, Chaste tree berry  may be a potential herbal medicine for treatment of painful symptoms in women with severe primary dysmenorrhea involved many mechanisms, including the antinociceptive, analgesic, hormone regulated properties.

Green tea  may be next generation of in expensive herbal medicine for reduced risk and treatment of breast cancer, a renowned institute study suggested

Breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk. there is also rare cases that breast cancer starts in other areas of the breast.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit 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, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

According to the joint study lead by the Xinyang Normal UniversityHenan, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a bioactive compound in green tea inhibited risk of breast cancer through many mechanisms involving primarily in cell death and survival.

The study also insisted the efficacy of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in reduced risk of breast cancer probably due to main function in induced cancer cell cycle arrest in interference of cell division.

In MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line, Epigallocatechin gallate isolated from green tea induced apoptosis and inhibited tumorigenesis through expression of multiple signaling pathways in breast cancer cells.

Also, EGCG decreased MDA-MB-231 cell viability and significantly downregulated the expression of β-catenin in regulated the coordination of cell–cell adhesion and gene transcription, according to Western blot analysis as patients with breast cancer is found to associate to high levels of β-catenin in breast cancer tissue than in normal tissue.

Dr. Hong OY, the lead author said, "EGCG inhibits the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells through the inactivation of the β-catenin signaling pathway. Based on these promising results, EGCG may be a potential treatment for triple negative breast cancer patients.".

In polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) accumulated in human breast cancer tissue induced the growth of estrogen-sensitive tumors, EGCG inhibited the early onset of breast cancer through modifying estrogenic activity against cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.

Furthermore, at dose of at 25 μM, EGCG also exerted antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic action in the activation of ERβ receptor.

With all the information collected above, green tea, containing rich sources of anti malignant and non malignant tumors phytochemicals, may be considered as a functional food in reduced risk and treatment of breast cancer.

Vitex agnus-castus fruit is found to process an anti irregular cell growth, the early stage of cancer development in colon, a university study suggested.

Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

Colon cancer is a medical condition of the abnormal proliferation of cells in large intestine.

According to the Tokyo University of Pharmacy & Life Sciences, treatment with chaste tree berry induced apoptosis of cancer cells not by the presence of antioxidant but expression of anti body gene HO-1 in regulating oxidative stress.

Dr. Imai M, the lead researcher said. "Vitex treatment activates a pathway associated with HO-1 gene activation, resulting in the induction of apoptosis in COLO 201, (the colon cancer cell line)".

Additionally, in a novel strategy with biological approach for synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), a toxic substance, using sodium para-hydroxybenzoate tetrahydrate (SPHT) isolated from Vitex negundo leaves, treatment of sodium para-hydroxybenzoate tetrahydrate (SPHT) improved the hydroxyl and carboxylic functional groups mediators in edhibited a stronger ability towards synthesis of AgNPs which indicated the apoptotic effect on human colon cancer cell lines.

The study also insisted that the extract displays a anti colon cancer activity confirmed by colorimetric assay, annexin V/Dead Cell Apoptosis and cell cycle analysis.

Furthermore, casticin, one of the major components of the fruits of chaste tree, showed a significantly induced apoptosic effect in of HT-29, HCT-116, SW480 and Caco-2 cells, reduced accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased the protein levels in regulation of cancer cell apoptosis and B-cell lymphoma activation of cell death of HT-29 cells, a colon cancer cell line.

Collectively, casticin also promoted Cell Death in cell division with the same mechanisms in other cancer cell lines, including HCT-116, SW480 and Caco-2 cells.

Taking together, chaste tree berry may be next therapeutic treatment for reduced risk and treatment of colon cancer, but injection of large quantity should only prescribed by related field specialists.

Herbal Andrographolide processed an anti cognitive impairment effect in prevention of the an early stage of dementia, a study conducted by a renowned institute suggested.

Andrographis paniculata is also known as Andrographis is a herbaceous plant, genus Andrographis, belonging to the family Acanthaceae, native to India and Sri Lanka, used in traditional Siddha and Ayurvedic in treating the common cold, flu, upper respiratory infections, infectious diseases, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, pneumonia,....

Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder correlated with major reductions of neurons to the respective target areas, named after German physician Alois Alzheimer. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing cognitive modalities severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal.

According to the joint study lead by the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, oral administrated natural product (Andrographolide, ANDRO) isolated from Andrographis paniculata in species Octodon degus (degu) exhibited the recovery of spatial memory and learning performance, through regulated phosphorylated tau protein and amyloid beta aggregate maturation in cell survival in inducing Alzheimer's disease.

Dr., the lead author in the joint study said, "(Andrographolide, ANDRO) inhibited) neural damage associated with aging processes and the behavioral and neuropathological hallmarks of aging-related diseases such as AD"

Additionally, Andrographolide also displayed the inhibitory activity of against forming of amyloid beta (Aβ)42 through suppression of NF-κB, a protein in regulated cell survival and function of microglia in activated response to brain damage and immunological stimuli together with the reduction in the production of inflammatory cytokines.

In animal study, mice treated with Andrographolide increased neural progenitor cell proliferation and the number of immature neurons in the hippocampus compared to age-matched control mice.

Moreover, ANDRO stimulated neurogenesis increasing the number of newborn dentate granule neurons in various parts of the brain.

The study also found that the efficacy of in reduced symptoms and protected against the early onset of AD is the result of the stimulation of neurogenesis in the hippocampus.

Taking together, Andrographis paniculata is sure consisted a therapeutic potential to protect the development of Alzheimer's disease through various mechanisms, however, intake of large amount daily should be taken with care.

Dietary Aloe vera improved plasma lipid profile, through enhancing antioxidant and hepatoprotective capacities, study by a renowned institute suggested.

Aloe Vera is species of succulent plant in the genus Aloe, belonging to the Family Xanthorrhoeaceae, native to Sudan. It has become very popular for commercial cultivation due to its health benefits. Aloe vera has been used in herbal medicine in treating many kinds of disease, including wound, burn healing, minor skin infections, sebaceous cysts, diabetes, and elevated of cholesterol, etc.

Cholesterol is needed for our body to build cell walls, make hormones and vitamin D, and create bile salts for digested fat. However too much can be dangerous because cholesterol cannot dissolve in your blood.

According to the joint study lead by the Nanjing Agricultural University, oral administration of less than or equal to 1.88, 1.86, and 2.79 %/kg in test animals showed to improve plasma lipid profile status, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective enzyme activities.

Dr. Gabriel NN, the lead author suggested, animal fed with Aloe Vera exhibited a significantly elevated high-density lipoprotein in 0.5 and 1 % Aloe/kg with no significant changes in low-density lipoprotein. After 8 weeks of treatment, group fed dietary Aloe at 4 %/kg expressed a significantly reduced in total cholesterol, and triacylglycerol.

Also in animal study of 5 treatment groups of rats (n = 7) fed with experimental diets: a normal control diet, a hypercholesterolemic diet hypercholesterolemic diet (HD), hypercholesterolemic diet (HD) + Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), hypercholesterolemic diet (HD) + AV gel, and hypercholesterolemic diet (HD) + Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) + AV gel, group fed with combination of LGG and AV gel exerted a therapeutic potential to decrease cholesterol levels and the risk of cardiovascular diseases

Furthermore, the efficacy of aloe vera in inhibited of high blood cholesterol is the result of the complex functions in restore normal levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol,  low-density lipoprotein-and very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, through blocking altered fatty acid composition in the liver and kidney.

The most effective dose of oral administration of Aloe vera gel extract is at a dose of 300 mg/kg bodyweight per day to STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Dietary Aleoe Vera has shown to inhibit lipid peroxidation and restore normal ratio levels of blood cholesterol in some animal studies, human trials are necessary to validate this claim.

Intake of kidney bean  may lower risk and treatment of  of hyperlipidemia, a study by respectable institution suggested

Kidney bean is popular food, with  kidney shape, strong flavor and color in reddish brown in nature, used often as an excellent dietary selection because of enormous health benefits with a good source of protein and minerals.

Hyperlipidemia is a condition of abnormal high levels of cholesterol in the blood stream.

According to the Universidade Federal de Viçosa, in the study of the effectiveness of kidney bean against high blood cholesterol of five groups of 8 male rats, Wistar strain, initial body weight of 200 g were kept at 25 degrees in a light-dark cycle of 12 h, for 28 days, group received red (RB) beans, showed a 12% reduction of blood cholesterol in comparison to other groups.

Dr. Rosa CO, the lead author said, "the reduction of cholesterol in blood is followed by its( lipid deposition) retention in the rat livers".

Additionaly, in a randomly assigned to one of the four experimental groups of hypercholesterolaemic pigs fed on a Western-type diet and 300 g baked beans/kg , group fed with baked beans showed a significant reduction of blood cholesterol in compared with the control (without baked beans).

The study also expressed a significantly reduced level of low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol by 48% without affecting high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol and triacylglycerol contents.

More importantly, researchers in the study also wrote, "supplements of 200 and 300 g baked beans/kg promoted a significant (P < 0.05) reduction of about 50% in cholesterol deposition in the liver, compared with the control".

In fact, the study on steroid metabolism of hypercholesterolaemic pigs, also showed a support of the efficacy of bake bean in lower blood cholesterol through inhibition of hepatic cholesterol synthesis, and reduced plasma cholesterol.

With all the above information, there is no doubt that kidney bean and baked kidney bean can be used as functional food for reduced high blood cholesterol, but human trials are necessary to confirm the validation.
