A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.

Imagine a fragrant cup of green tea. The clear, pale green liquid gives off a delicious aroma somewhat like wet hay mixed with the scent of apples or pears. You lift the cup to your lips and take the first sip. The comforting liquid rolls over your tongue and eases down your throat, brightening and warming as it goes. Its slight astringency freshens your mouth, making it feel naturally clean. Yet green tea is a lot more than just a delicious and satisfying drink, it has many medicinal properties that are nothing short of amazing.

• Cut cancer risk

Several polyphenols - the potent antioxidants green tea is famous for is helpful to keep cancer cells from gaining a foothold in the body, by discouraging their growth and then squelching the creation of new blood vessels that tumors need to thrive. Studies have found that people who regularly drink green tea reduce their risk of breast, stomach, esophagus, colon, and prostate cancer.

• Reduces breast cancer risk

In a study published in the May, 2007 issue of Carcinogenesis, 1,009 women in Southeast China with breast cancer were compared to 1,009 age-matched healthy women. The researchers collected information on each woman’s diet, lifestyle and green tea consumption. They found that those who drank an average of 1/2 to 2/3 cup of green tea per day for a year had a reduction in breast cancer risk of 41 per cent. And even those who drank very small amounts of green tea (less than 1 1/2 cups per week for a year) decreased their breast cancer risk by 13 per cent.

• Lowers Cholesterol Level

Low fat diet may be the first thing your doctor recommends to control cholesterol, green tea has been found to help keep cholesterol levels down even when the diet is high in fat. Large populations have found that, on average, the more green tea that people drink the lower their total and LDL cholesterol levels, In one human study, just 2 cups of green tea per day lowered LDL cholesterol levels by as much as 13 mg.

• Soothes wounds

Got a cut, scrape, or bite, soak a cotton pad in little leftover green tea as it is a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling. Try it on inflamed breakouts and blemishes, sunburns, even puffy eyelids.

• Protects skin

In the lab, green tea applied directly to the skin or consumed helps blocking sun-triggered skin cancer, which is why you’re seeing green tea in more and more sunscreens and moisturisers.

• Fights blood pressure

Having healthy blood pressure means below 120/80 - is one thing. Keeping it that way is quite another. But people who sip just half a cup daily are almost 50 per cent less likely to wind up with hypertension than non-drinkers. Credit goes to the polyphenols again (especially one known as ECGC). They help keep blood vessels from contracting and raising blood pressure.

• Protects memory

Green tea may also keep the brain from turning fuzzy. Adults who drink at least two cups a day are half as likely to develop cognitive problems as those who drink less. Why? It appears that the tea’s big dose of antioxidants fights the free-radical damage to brain nerves seen in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

• Keeps you young

The younger and healthier your arteries are, the younger and healthier you would be. So fight plaque build-up in your blood vessels, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke and add years to your biological age and sap your energy too. About 10 ounces a day, which also deters your body from absorbing artery-clogging fat and cholesterol.

• Loses weight

Green tea speeds up your body’s calorie-burning process. Green tea’s is believed to activate the fat-burning effects of brown fat,4 a special kind of body fat that burns calories at a very high rate. In animal studies, green tea has been found to help send glucose to muscle tissue where the glucose is more likely to be burned, rather than to fat tissue, where it’s more likely to be stored.

• Reduces stress

Drinking a nice hot cup of green tea can almost always make you feel better. But did you know that certain natural components of green tea have a direct effect on the body, increasing relaxation, easing depression and otherwise improving the mood?

A growing body of evidence indicates that both green tea catechins and theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, can bring about positive changes to both body and mind.

Might, you are motivated enough….

Oh My ALLAH!

For my honor it’s enough that I am YOUR follower
For my grace it’s enough that YOU are my LORD,

You are exactly the same
As I want my LORD to be,

Please ALLAH make me exactly the same
As YOU want me to be,

Ameen!

The answers are way too crazy

In the British Medical Journal this week, researchers looked into several common misconceptions, from the belief that a person should drink eight glasses of water per day to the notion that reading in low light ruins your eyesight.

“We got fired up about this because we knew that physicians accepted these beliefs and were passing this information along to their patients,” said Dr. Aaron Carroll, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine. “And these beliefs are frequently cited in the popular media.”

And so here they are, so that you can inform your doctor:

Myth: We use only 10 percent of our brains.
Fact: Physicians and comedians alike, including Jerry Seinfeld, love to cite this one. It’s sometimes erroneously credited to Albert Einstein. But MRI scans, PET scans and other imaging studies show no dormant areas of the brain, and even viewing individual neurons or cells reveals no inactive areas, the new paper points out. Metabolic studies of how brain cells process chemicals show no nonfunctioning areas. The myth probably originated with self-improvement hucksters in the early 1900s who wanted to convince people that they had yet not reached their full potential, Carroll figures. It also doesn’t jibe with the fact that our other organs run at full tilt.

Myth: You should drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
Fact: “There is no medical evidence to suggest that you need that much water,” said Dr. Rachel Vreeman, a pediatrics research fellow at the university and co-author of the journal article. Vreeman thinks this myth can be traced back to a 1945 recommendation from the Nutrition Council that a person consume the equivalent of 8 glasses (64 ounces) of fluid a day. Over the years, “fluid” turned to water. But fruits and vegetables, plus coffee and other liquids, count.

Myth: Fingernails and hair grow after death.
Fact: Most physicians queried on this one initially thought it was true. Upon further reflection, they realized it’s impossible. Here’s what happens: “As the body’s skin is drying out, soft tissue, especially skin, is retracting,” Vreeman said. “The nails appear much more prominent as the skin dries out. The same is true, but less obvious, with hair. As the skin is shrinking back, the hair looks more prominent or sticks up a bit.”

Myth: Shaved hair grows back faster, coarser and darker.
Fact: A 1928 clinical trial compared hair growth in shaved patches to growth in non-shaved patches. The hair which replaced the shaved hair was no darker or thicker, and did not grow in faster. More recent studies have confirmed that one. Here’s the deal: When hair first comes in after being shaved, it grows with a blunt edge on top, Carroll and Vreeman explain. Over time, the blunt edge gets worn so it may seem thicker than it actually is. Hair that’s just emerging can be darker too, because it hasn’t been bleached by the sun.

Myth: Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight.
Fact: The researchers found no evidence that reading in dim light causes permanent eye damage. It can cause eye strain and temporarily decreased acuity, which subsides after rest.

Myth: Eating turkey makes you drowsy.
Fact: Even Carroll and Vreeman believed this one until they researched it. The thing is, a chemical in turkey called tryptophan is known to cause drowsiness. But turkey doesn’t contain any more of it than does chicken or beef. This myth is fueled by the fact that turkey is often eaten with a colossal holiday meal, often accompanied by alcohol - both things that will make you sleepy.

Myth: Mobile phones are dangerous in hospitals.
Fact: There are no known cases of death related to this one. Cases of less-serious interference with hospital devices seem to be largely anecdotal, the researchers found. In one real study, mobile phones were found to interfere with 4 percent of devices, but only when the phone was within 3 feet of the device. A more recent study, this year, found no interference in 300 tests in 75 treatment rooms. To the contrary, when doctors use mobile phones, the improved communication means they make fewer mistakes.

“Whenever we talk about this work, doctors at first express disbelief that these things are not true,” said Vreeman said. “But after we carefully lay out medical evidence, they are very willing to accept that these beliefs are actually false.”
