Benefits of Green Tea and Black Tea for Health
Talk about the benefits and efficacy of tea leaves, generally we will be more focused on green tea. In fact, both green tea and black tea both have benefits to health. Almost all types of tea turned out to contribute greatly to the health of the drinker. This is because tea contains antioxidant compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, L-theanin.
As described by Peter CH Hollman, researchers from Waginingen University, the Netherlands, the antioxidant compounds in tea are useful as anticancer agents, suppress stress hormones, and improve blood vessel function that will prevent cardiovascular disease, such as heart attacks and strokes.
"Tea is a source of flavonoids that have a direct effect on vascular health," Hollman said in a press conference event Tea Science Symposium organized by the Lipton Institute of Tea on Wednesday (14/07/2010).
In a meta-analysis study Hollman, proved that those who consumed three cups of tea per day had a risk reduction of stroke by 20 percent. "Both black tea and green tea have the same protective effect," he explained. In a variety of research, testing was conducted on the relationship of tea with cardiovascular disease, whether its short term and long term.
According to the explanation Visvajit De Alwis, General Manager of the Tea Buying Division of PT Unilever Indonesia, black tea is black tea brown, tasteless "rich", which is produced through a fermentation process. The green tea is green tea that is produced through a process of steaming rapidly to prevent the occurrence of discoloration of leaves and the onset of fermentation. In Indonesia, black tea is more popular than green tea. (Kompas.com)
