NEW STUDY FINDS GREEN TEA BENEFITS

The consumption of green tea rapidly improves the function of the endothelium, the cells lining the inner surface of the circulatory system, according to a new study by Dr. Nikolaos Alexopoulos and colleagues in the cardiology department of the Athens Medical School. In a joint study, the researchers also discovered that green tea reverses endothelial dysfunction, which is a key event in the onset of atherosclerosis in smokers. Green tea originated in China but is now popular throughout the world, and is made with pure leaves that have had little oxidization during the processing.
