From Energy Times, September 2006, “Natural Selection” by Susan Weiner Green Tea Just like vitamin C, green tea—another edible skin healer—is valued as a wrinkle-reverser, inhibiting inflammation and sun damage. An article published in the Archives of Dermatology concurs that green tea may, indeed, ward off skin cancer and signs of aging. Researchers at Case Western University in Cleveland maintain that the secret to green tea’s skin-protective properties are its high levels of polyphenols and catechins, powerful antioxidants shown to function as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents. “Of all the antioxidants known to mankind, the components green tea are the most potent,” says Hasan Mukhtar, PhD, professor and director of research at Case Western University. Not quite as popular as its cousin black tea, green tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, but its leaves are less processed. Your Best Face Looking your best can be as easy as maintaining a healthy diet and gentle skin care regimen using products rich in antioxidants and other fortifying botanicals, including products enhanced with green tea and vitamins A and C. “Colorful fruit and vegetables, olives, green tea and red wine contain flavonoids, carotenoids and polyphenols that can protect cells,” says Dr. Lauren Steinberg at Weill Cornell Medical Center. “… be sure to apply products enriched with green tea...For the skin, the effects are greater when applied topically than ingested.” |
