Green tea has been a prized staple of Chinese and other Asian diets for thousands of years. It is considered an antigen (immune system enhancer) and adaptogen, which means it can adapt itself in many different ways to whatever your body needs, providing balance and overall good health.
Of all the supplements that have been scientifically studied, green tea has proven to be one of the most potent antioxidants ever discovered. This is surely one of the greatest anti-aging supplements. As such, it will help fight and prevent many diseases.
For example, green tea has been shown to fight cancer and heart disease, lower cholesterol, burn fat, and help prevent stroke and dementia.
Green Tea Antioxidants
The antioxidants in green tea are called catechins and polyphenols, which scavenge free radicals (slowing the aging and disease process) and help protect our DNA (the building blocks or “code” within each cell of our body), and are known to help prevent and treat not just cancer, but blood clots and atherosclerosis, or hardening and blockage of the arteries due to the buildup of harmful plaque. Cardiovascular disease is one of the major causes of death.

Breakthrough: Lose 90 lbs in 45 days!
Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, World-Famous health physician and author of a Top Secret Fat Loss Secret has exploded the myth about why most people struggle so hard with fat loss and weight loss diets. The ability to lose weight seems like an elusive or impossible goal for many people. Even worse, why do people have so much trouble keeping off the fat they lose in the first place, simply to gain it back again? Have you ever wondered why your weight loss diets don’t work no matter how much you diet and exercise?
“The reason,” she says, that most people “can’t lose weight has nothing to do with your will-power, over-eating or the right diet! … The reason you are fat and unhealthy is because you have disgusting plaque and horrible little ‘CRITTERS’ living in your guts!”
Of course, what she means by horrible little “critters” are unhealthy parasites that live in your intestines and interfere with the normal digestive processes and hunger mechanisms responsible for helping you lose fat and lose weight. The problem is that “dangerous parasites living inside [your] gut excrete chemicals (waste products) that travel to your brain and [...]
Image via Wikipedia What is Anti Aging & Longevity?
If you read through books, journals, articles and surf the Internet, you will soon notice that it is very difficult to find a satisfactory definition of aging. It is easy to enumerate the symptoms of aging, which most writers fall back on doing. But what aging is exactly seems to be somewhat elusive.
We are less concerned with what aging is, and more concerned with how we can slow the process. However, here is a brief overview of aging.
We now know that part of the reason we age is because our genes are preprogrammed in such a way that prohibits our cells from regenerating indefinitely. That is, there is a mechanism in our cells which sets a limit on how many times they can divide and regenerate new cells. Due to evolutionary factors, we are literally programmed by our genetic structure to die.
Fortunately, scientists are beginning to understand this process, and it is becoming quite clear that we will be able to eliminate this roadblock to immortality within the next 20 years or so.
Even if our cells were not preprogrammed to die, they would eventually [...]

Alpha-lipoic acid is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants manufactured by the human body. It has been called the “universal” antioxidant because it boosts glutathione levels in cells, and is both water and fat soluable. Alpha-lipoic acid is found in every cell of the body, a cofactor in several multi-enzyme complexes where it helps turn glucose into energy.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an essential co-factor in energy metabolism in organisms from microbes to humans. A nutritional coenzyme that participates in the energy metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, with a particular role in blood glucose disposal, alpha-lipoic acid is necessary for the mitochondrial energy production of the cell, which keeps us alive; it can also help reduce the aging process which reduces wrinkles in the skin and inhibits the disease process.
The therapeutic potential of alpha-lipoic acid is just beginning to be explored, but holds great promise. Alpha-lipoic acid can be found in foods such as organ meats, spinach, broccoli, peas, brussel sprouts, and rice bran. The richest natural food source of alpha-lipoic acid is red meat; other sources include, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, yeast (particularly brewer’s yeast), and certain organ meats (such as [...]

Scientific studies, some conducted at Yale University, have shown that green tea can significantly reduce the risk of many cancers and even reduce the size of tumors. It has been used for thousands of years in China, India, Thailand, Japan and other Eastern countries as a general health tonic, much like ginseng, without significant negative side-effects. And like ginseng, science is only beginning to discover its incredible anti aging health benefits.
Here’s a nice little ditty about the Japanese spiritual relationship to tea ceremonies, a very special part of their culture. ” In japan, the traditional japanese tea ceremony is a chance for friends to gather in a harmonious environment and reflect upon the simple joys of friendship and the beauty of nature.”
Beyond cancer additional research has shown that green tea increases the heart’s resistance to vascular diseases, increases life span, cleanses the body of toxins and strengthens your immune system. Green tea can even fight gingivitis (gum disease) and prevent your teeth from getting cavities.
Even better for most people, green tea delays and reduces the onset of wrinkles as we age. This keeps us looking younger and healthier, which helps [...]
