In fact, it offers benefits on some many levels, that quite a sizeable percentage of the young crowd as well as older folks have started drinking green tea on a daily basis. Even queen of talk shows and media mogul Oprah Winfrey is a green-tea drinking proponent as are models and actresses.
What exactly is green tea?
One of the least processed and nutritionally-rich teas, green tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Originally from China, there are Different Varieties of green tea available. Green tea is an acquired taste- you can try adding some mint or make a tasty concoction of your choice.

Health benefits of drinking green tea
Green tea contains about 30% of catechins, which are said to have high healing potential. Drinking green tea in moderate quantities 2-3 times a day can prevent heart diseases and also cut risks of cancer. Rich in EGCG (epigallocatechilgallate), a powerful antioxidant, green tea kills destructive cancer cells without affecting the other healthy body tissues. Abnormal blood clots in wounds are also effectively prevented by EGCG, which is why drinking green tea is advised by doctors.
It also has a soothing effect on the central nervous system, keeping blood pressure levels in check and reducing overall stress. Green tea intake on a regular basis is also said to prevent neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s to a large extent. Studies have also shown that green tea lowers LDL cholesterol, responsible for causing heart diseases, effectively.

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate, found in the green tea extract, in a novel Hsp90 inhibitor. $49.99 Numerous animal studies have shown that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major component of green tea, protects against certain types of cancers, although the mechanism has not yet been determined. Our laboratory previously demonstrated that EGCG blocks aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-mediated transcription induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Unlike other AhR antagonists that directly bind to the AhR, EGCG inhibits AhR-mediated transcription by binding to hsp90. I hypothesize that EGCG exerts anti-AhR and anti-cancer effects by acting as an hsp90 inhibitor. Using proteolytic footprinting, immunoprecipitation and an ATP-agarose pull-down assay, I determined that EGCG directly modulates the conformation of hsp90 and binds at or near to the C-terminal ATP binding site of hsp90. Direct binding of 3H-EGCG to purified human hsp90 was observed by competitive binding assay suggesting a Kd of ~780nM. Novobiocin (a C-terminal hsp90 inhibitor) and ATP compete with 3H-EGCG for binding to hsp90. Hsp90 chaperone function, as demonstrated by the ability to mediate refolding of denatured luciferase, is inhibited by EGCG treatment. Hsp90 dimerization, which occurs at the C-terminal end, is also inhibited by EGCG treatment. EGCG also modified the association of hsp90 with several cochaperones. Co-immunoprecipitation studies show that EGCG stabilizes an AhR complex that includes hsp90 and XAP2 (hepatitis B virus X-associated protein 2), and decreases the association of aryl hydrocarbon nuclear translocator (Arnt) to ligand-activated AhR. Thus, EGCG, through its ability to bind to hsp90, decreases the association of AhR, an hsp90 client protein, with Arnt and blocks AhR response element (AhRE) recognition. These studies indicate a novel mechanism whereby EGCG inhibits ligand-induced AhRE binding and AhR-mediated transcriptional activity by acting as an hsp90 inhibitor. In EGCG-treated human ovarian carcinoma SKOV3 cells, decreased levels of several |
