Prevent prostate cancer with green tea

One form of cancer that plagues many men is prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in American men, other than skin cancer. About 27,350 men will die of this disease.

Prostate cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in men, after lung cancer and colorectal cancer. While 1 man in 6 will get prostate cancer during his lifetime, only 1 man in 34 will die of this disease. There have been some promising findings, and it appears that one thing that we can do to prevent prostate cancer is to include green tea in our diet.

We’ve learned through research that green tea has the ability to prevent many forms of cancer, prostate cancer among them. Studies of Asian culture, where green tea consumption is high and cancer incidences are much lower have led to the understanding of how green tea can help in this area.

Anti- oxidants are important because they combat free radicals, like ROS, in our bodies. This leads to faster aging and a higher risk of many diseases, including cancer.
Green tea is far lower in caffeine than coffee or black tea. The news about prostate cancer and green tea is important to deliver, particularly to American men. On average, the American man is far more likely to drink coffee than tea. And, when American men do drink tea, they are much more likely to drink black tea.

So, we should spread the word to all the men in our lives that green tea is a powerful health protector.
Green tea is refreshing and delicious. And, green tea may be a simple and important way to prevent disease and ensure that we live long and healthy lives.
