People are slowly becoming aware of the enormous benefits of drinking green tea. Although the plant originated in China, it is now grown and consumed all over the world. If you desire better health and a sharper mind, then you have to drink green tea regularly.
Now, researchers at the Washington State University have found out that green tea has a positive impact on people with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
It is an autoimmune disease which mostly affects the joints in the body. In this form of Arthritis, the immune system starts to attack and destroy the tissue surrounding the joints, causing swelling, redness, stiffness and fatigue. Some people who suffer from this disease also experience weight loss and low-grade fever.
The study
Published in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatology, the study looked closely at a phytochemical called Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). This phytochemical is found in green tea. The researchers wanted to find out how effective EGCG was against inflammation without disturbing other functions in the affected regions of the body.
The findings
After testing the impact of EGCG on several animal models, researchers found out that the phytochemical blocks a particular protein TAK1 which begins the process of inflammation.
Why are phytochemicals important?
Phytochemicals like EGCG are compounds which are found in plant-based foods like green tea. These compounds give colour, flavor and odour to the plant. Many studies testify that consuming phytochemicals on a regular basis helps promote good health.
Other than their effect on Rheumatoid Arthritis, phytochemicals present in green tea benefit your body in several ways:
• They help reduce the risk of getting heart diseases like coronary heart disease.
• They help you avoid several kinds of cancer like breast, lung and colon cancer.
• Beverages like green tea decrease the risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
• Phytochemicals protect nerve and brain cells from degeneration due to age and disease.
• They stimulate the immune system and keep it functioning correctly.
• They counter the oxidative damage to cells from free radicals.
• They also assist in DNA repair.
