Liquid Gold a.k.a. Green Tea
 The
great and eminent Benjamin Franklin once said, “Beer is proof that God loves us
and wants us to be happy” and it was the witty and intelligent …hmmm???…what’s
his name I forget…hmmm??? That fitness writer dude….hmmm?? Oh Ross Edgley, haha,
that said, “Green tea is proof that God loves us and wants us to be healthy.”
Both great quotes that both hold some truth, allow me to elaborate:
I’m not
going to lie; drinking alcohol (in moderation may I add) does have its benefits.
For example men the world over will agree, chatting to a girl you like is hard
at the best of times but sometimes our little bottled liquid friend, along with
some ‘Dutch Courage’ can help. Wooing methods of the drunken male vary in
technique however are intended to achieve the same result, a females phone
number. Commonly used drunken methods include the:
1)
‘My judgement is
impaired however I’m pretty sure I look like Justin Timberlake when dancing’
Approach and the
2)
‘My mouth is slightly
numb however this silver tongued beast is going to work his linguistic magic on
the ladies’ Approach
Gentleman…best of luck whichever method you adopt
Now
regarding Green Tea, this stuff really is health in a tea bag for example the
Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 1994 published the results of an
epidemiological study indicating that “drinking green tea reduced the risk of
oesophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly 60%.” It’s believed the
compound epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a powerful anti-oxidant that not
only inhibits the growth of cancer cells; it also kills cancer cells without
harming healthy tissue. And if that’s not enough of a reason to put some of that
liquid gold down your ‘pie hole,’ allow me to continue with just a few medical
conditions that green tea will be helpful for:
- High
cholesterol levels
-
Rheumatoid arthritis
-
Cardiovascular disease
-
Infection
-
Impaired immune function
- Tooth
decay
Now referring to Mr Franklins quote
again, yet another bi-product of a drunken night out is the phenomenon that is
the drunken phone call or text. Considered by many to be a negative aspect of
drinking, I for one feel it is in fact a positive, why I hear you ask? Well
humans, unlike animals, have this ability to bottle up feelings that can often
be detrimental to our mental health. Alcohol deemed to be a ‘truth serum’ serves
to combat this problem, and so the drunken text or phone call can often be a
means to voice untold opinions that would have otherwise been bottled up.
Ex-partners are text, ‘booty’ calls are rung and pizzas are ordered that your
have no recollection sending for.
Now unfortunately green tea lacks
this truth telling ability, but what it does have is the ability to make you
look great on the beach, yes that’s right I jest your not. See it’s that same
compound, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)
that’s responsible for green tea’s cancer fighting properties that is also
responsible for green teas thermogenic properties (fat burning.)
So in conclusion good people… stick some of that
liquid gold down the hatch and enjoy both the health and aesthetic benefits
green tea has to offer.
