Most Important Health Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

-
Green Tea has been used as a beverage and medicinal tonic, to promote health of mind and body. It is made from the evergreen leaves of the tea tree (Camellia sinensis). The tea tree reaches 30 feet in height in the wild, but the tea trees are kept as 3-foot tall shrubs on tea plantations.

Green Tea is the least processed of all the tea types. The tea leaves are high in polyphenols that are said to possess potent antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties. The young leaves are quickly steamed after being picked. This prevents the fermenting process and the leaves stay green-colored. The tea leaves are then dried with hot air. This short processing lets the Tea keep their flavonoids.

Research has shown that drinking Green Tea regularly can aid in the prevention and treatment of many diseases such as:

• Coronary Artery Disease: It can protect the heart against coronary artery disease. The rich supply of the polyphenols antioxidant in Green Tea is attributed to lowering the risk of heart disease.

• Atherosclerosis: It can inhibit atherosclerosis by lowering bad cholesterol, triglycerides, lipid peroxides and fibrinogens. This ultimately improves the ratio of bad to good cholesterol.

• Blood Clots: Regular use can help to thin the blood and prevent the formation of blood clots. It can aid in stopping the adhering of pro-inflammatory compounds created from omega-6 fatty acids to the walls of blood vessels.

• Stroke: A new study at the University Of California LA (UCLA) has shown that drinking three cups of Green Tea daily can significantly reduce the risk of stroke. Beginning a Green Tea regiment after a stroke can also help to minimize the damage to the brain. It contains the compound epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which is said to be over two hundred times more powerful than the antioxidant vitamin E, and helps protect brain cells by neutralizing free radicals in the brain.

• High Blood Pressure: Regularly drinking 1/2 to 3 cups each day for one year can help lower high blood pressure. It helps to thins the blood so the heart does not have to work so hard to push the blood throughout the body.

• Cancer: It contains polyphenols, which research has shown to be instrumental in terminating cancer cells. This compound turns off the genes that cause the growth of cancer cells and protects the body.

• Type 2 Diabetes: It can help people with Type 2 Diabetes lower and control glucose levels. It helps to turn on the body's insulin sensitivity so a diabetic will use more of their own insulin more efficiently.

• Kidney Disease: Green Tea can also help to protect the body from kidney disease by reducing the production of free radicals that attack the kidneys.

• Osteoporosis: Green Tea is a bone building drink that increases bone mineral density. It also offers similar benefits to the skeleton that calcium and exercise do.

• Obesity: Studies have shown that drinking this tea promotes fat loss. The high catechin concentration in the tea helps the body get rid of the fat deposits around the internal organs by increasing the metabolism and increasing fat oxidation.

Top Ten SEO Mistakes of Dealer Websites-Used Car Dealers Specifically

-
1.) Sites Made Entirely Out Of Flash As any SEO will tell you, or nearly any web designer with the slightest knowledge about the behavior of search engine spiders, designing a site entirely in flash is a recipe for disaster. As search engines become more sophisticated, the game of search engine optimization has become more complex....indeed, the process of becoming a highly ranked site has become quite a complex task. But at the most basic level, sites designed in flash are essentially invisible to search engines. A large component of determining the relevancy of a site by a search engine spider lies in the spiderability (ability of the spider to crawl) of high quality, keyword rich content. In the car industry, there are literally thousands of keywords that can be built into a website to dramatically increase traffic. In west palm beach alone, the location of a used car dealership I am currently in the process of optimizing for, there are literally hundreds of car related keywords whi...
