Green Tea Prevents Prostate Cancer?

Apparently Green Tea really is a super food that everyone, not matter what age or sex, should add to their diet.  Not only is it known for anti cancer properties for several different cancers now, but it also may help aid in weight loss, is a great natural energy booster, and makes your skin look fabulous.

The reason green tea is such a powerful super food is that it is a very potent antioxidant.  This simple drink also has been identified as a powerful anti prostate cancer food, and many men should really start to think about adding this simple drink to their daily repertoire.

Green tea was found to help reduce the occurrence of prostate cancer. For one, the antioxidants in green tea help to fend off damage done to the cells which encourage the rapid division and mutation of healthy cells – aka cancer formation.

Second, it was found that green tea’s active compounds help to discourage the growth of new blood vessels which are cancerous, around the prostate. Cancerous tumors have these types of blood vessels, and green tea helps to discourage the formation of these “pseudo” masses of new life.

I highly advocate that all men at least try to drink organic green tea. I say organic because it is very important to only consume organic tea, otherwise, you are also unknowingly consuming contaminants and toxins which do your body no good against cancer.

I recommend adding a little bit of lemon juice to your green tea. This not only gives it a great zing, but it also helps you absorb up to six times more antioxidants than without the lemon juice.  It’s the least you can do for your prostate health. And hey, you may end up actually liking the stuff!
