Expenditure of US Men and Japanese Women Consumer Oolong
Tea" by groups of researchers at:
A. Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Centre, ARS,
B. the Department of Nutrition, University of Tokushima,
C. Research Centre, Suntory LTD., in Japan.
2nd. BENEFIT: Wulong/Oolong Tea is known
to also raise body fat metabolism by switching
the body mechanisms to survive on essential fatty acids
rather than sugar.
Scientific
Reference: Wu Long tea contains powerful
anti-oxidant "Polyphenols", "Flavanoids
and Vitamin C which are known to raise body fat metabolism
by switching the bodies mechanisms to survive on essential
fatty acids rather than sugar. This helps in breaking
down food so it is more efficiently metabolized. What
this means is that the body goes after fat stored in your
adipose tissue rather than glucose derived from your muscles.
Since the muscles are a major engine of calorie metabolism,
normal diets actually cause your metabolism to slow because
your body breaks down your muscle tissue for energy instead
of the unneeded stores of fat.
3th. BENEFIT: Wulong/Oolong Tea can be an
aid in fat-loss as it contains powerful anti-oxidant
"Polyphenols", and "Flavanoids" which
are believed to have a role in activating the enzymes
in the body that break down body fat.
Scientific
Reference: Long tea contains powerful
anti-oxidant "Polyphenols", and "Flavanoids
which are believed to have a role in activating the enzymes
in the body that break down body fat.
4th. BENEFIT: Wu-Long/Oolong Tea has been
proven to suppress the appetite while moderating blood
sugar levels. This is really important as this property
can diminish the side effects of sugar products eaten
that may cause different mood swings.
Scientific Reference:
Suntory Research Centre in Osaka, Japan, show that the
elements in the WuLong/OoLong Tea, may help reduce the
rise in insulin (the natural body's "fat-storing"
hormone) which increases after the absorption of carbohydrates
like rice, pasta, bread etc.
5th. BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong
Tea reduces the fattening effects of carbohydrates
Scientific Reference:
Researches suggest that WuLong/OoLong Tea
reduces the fattening effects of carbohydrates, which
is caused by increasing insulin levels. As Insulin is
the body's natural "fat-storing" hormone. In
fact, in a recent study from scientists at the Suntory
Research Center in Osaka, Japan, has demostrated that
test subjects that drank Wu Long tea 15 minutes before
eating carbohydrates helped diminish the rise in insulin
in the body which you normally get when eating carbohdrates.
Therefore the less insulin in the blood stream the less
the potential for the body to store fat.
AGING
PREVENTION & BEAUTY:
6th. BENEFIT:
There is a possibility that the tea may help
not only in nourishing the skin but in clearing
skin eczema.
Scientific Reference:
In another study published in the Academic
Journal Archives of Dermatology researchers from Japan's
Shiga University of Medical Science have discovered that
the elements in WuLong/OoLong Tea may help not only nourishing
the skin but also help clearing skin eczema.
7th BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong
Tea had a incredible 50% reduction in free radicals
within just 15 days of consumption! Free radicals have
been connected with aging, the formation of wrinkles,
and colored spots on the skin. Wouldn't it be wonderful
if you could use a natural product like this incredible
tea to make you healthy and younger from the inside out?
Scientific
Reference:
A) A 2004 Research conducted in the University of California
by Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto and his colleagues has shown
that the elements in WuLong/OoLong Tea had a incredible
50% Reduction in Free Radicals within just 15 days of
consumption! What does this mean to us? Well “Free Radicals”
are all those damaging substances in your body caused
by stress, chemical food additives, artificial colorants,
toxins and pollution. The more you age the less your body
is able to deal with free radicals and as a result, these
increase within the body. Free radicals have been connected
with aging, the formation of wrinkles, colored spots on
the skin and even certain types of diseases like Parkinson's
Disease (PD) and other brain related illnesses.
B) Neuroscientists at the University of
Virginia Health System shows that oxygen free radicals
are damaging proteins in mitochondria, the tiny cellular
'batteries' of brain cells. This damage may be one main
cause of Parkinson's Disease (PD).
DETOX:
8th. BENEFIT:
WuLong/OoLong Tea also contains detoxifying
alkaloids such as Theine, Theophyline, Theobromine,
and the calming amino acid Theanine.
GENERAL HEALTH
& DISEASE PREVENTION:
9th BENEFIT:
WuLong/OoLong Tea has the properties of strengthening
the Immune System. People drinking this tea, had a
stronger immune system which diminished greately the risk
of infections such as the common cold.
Scientific
Reference: Based on researches conducted
in 2004 by the “Scientific Journal Antioxidants &
Redox Signalling” WuLong/OoLong Tea has the properties
of strengthening the Immune System. The test subjects
who consumed Wu Long tea on a daily basis were found to
have a stronger immune system, which diminished greatly
the risk of infections such as the common cold.
10th. BENEFIT: As
WuLong/OoLong Tea reduces the rise in insulin in the body
it has the cabability of diminuishing and better controlling
diabetes mellitus.
Scientific
Reference: Wu Long alone does however
have unique effects against obesity and cardiovascular
disease. An article in Diabetes Research and Clinical
Practice 65 (2004) by researchers in Japan showed that
Wu Long tea increased Adiponectin levels in patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery diesase.
While water consuming groups showed no changes in adiponectin
levels, a protein that is lowered in those with morose
obesity, Coronary Artery disease, and Diabetes Mellitus,
those who consumed Wu Long tea showed a significant difference
in blood levels of adiponectin.
11th. BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea prevent
tooth decay by significantly inhibiting plaque deposition
making them stronger and healthier. This is because WuLong/OoLong
Tea is a powerful anti-bacterial that not only eliminates
plaque but also leaves a thin film of resin that helps
protect teeth.
Scientific
Reference: Department of Dentistry at
Japan's Osaka University Research which shows that the
elements in WuLong/OoLong Tea prevent tooth decay by significantly
inhibiting plaque deposition making them stronger and
healthier.
12th.
BENEFIT: Wu Long has a unique effects against
high cholesterol.
Scientific
Reference: Wu Long has also been shown
to help balance levels of LDL and triglyceride levels
by moderating the effects of LDL, a pernicuous cholesterol
carried by low-density lioprotein. In a study by lead
scientist H. Itakura of the Suntory Resaerch Center, Osaka
japan, as well as H. Itakura of the National Institute
of Health and Nutrition, Tokyo Japan, subjects who drank
Wu Long tea twice a day for 8 weeks had lower total cholesterol
and triglyceride levels while HDL (good Cholesterol) levels
were unaffected. Oxidation of LDL is believed to contribute
to the development of atherosclerosis (Frei 1995). The
scientists concluded that Wu Long "signficantly reduces
LDL oxidation, total cholesterol and triglyceride and
may be beneficial in the prevention of coronary heart
disease.
13th.
BENEFIT: Drinking greater amounts of WuLong/OoLong
Tea, has the capability to reduce certain types of cancers.
Scientific
Reference: In a study by Y. Kuroda, and
Y. Hara in Mutation Research 436 (1999), the authors state
that the "polyphenols in tea have a strong radical
scavenging and reducing activity... The Japanese Cancer
Association as well as the Ministry of Health and Welfare
reported that death rates from cancer in both females
and males in Shizuoka Prefecture was much lower than the
mean for all of Japan. In addition, greater intake of
a partially fermented tea, such as Wu Long was correlated
with a lower risk of lung cancer in women. As little as
1-4 metric cups a day led to significant results, though
the best results were obtained from women who drank 10
cups or more. Similar results were found for men.
14th.
BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea has a positive
effect on people with ulcers and stomach cancer as well
as Tobacco Addiction and other related diseases. In addition,
tea is a natural bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory
for the lung tissue, allowing otherwise struggling cells
to recover.
Scientific
Reference: In a study by the American
Health Foundation published in Food and Chemical Toxicology
40 (2002) it shows that the Chemopreventive effects through
its antioxidants, detoxifying enzymes, and effects on
cellular growth and natural cellular death (apoptosis)
the opposite of cancerous cell growth. Tea also has been
found to kill Helicobacter pylori which causes ulcers
and stomach cancer as well as inhibiting the effects of
tobacco use in the oral cavity, esophagus, and lung.
15th
BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea helps controlling
High Blood Pressure. This helps with the vascular system
and therefore diminishing: heart disease, strokes, and
other cardiovascular diseases.
Scientific
Reference: In a study by Y. Kuroda, and
Y. Hara in Mutation Research 436 (1999), the authors state
that WuLong Tea diminishes the rise in blood pressure
and reduces levels of blood glucose. High blood pressure
is a serious burden on the vascular system and is known
to cause heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular
diseases. Green tea is known for lowering blood pressure.
16th
BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea had a incredible
50% Reduction in Free Radicals which can have a beneficial
effect on certain types of diseases like Parkinson's Disease
(PD) and other brain related illnesses.
Scientific
Reference: A 2004 Research conducted in
the University of California by Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto
and his colleagues has shown that the elements in WuLong/OoLong
Tea had a incredible 50% Reduction in Free Radicals within
just 15 days of consumption! What does this mean to us?
Well “Free Radicals” are all those Damaging Substances
in your body caused by stress, chemical food additives,
artificial colorants, toxins and pollution. The more you
age the less your body is able to deal with free radicals
and has a result, these increase in the body. Free Radicals
have been connected with aging, the formation of wrinkles,
coloured spots on the skin and even certain types of diseases
like Parkinson's Disease (PD) and other brain related
illnesses.
