BENEFITS OF DRINKING TEA
So we’re talking about fasting teas. We’ve talked about the benefits of green tea (Episode #36) and fasting (Episode #40). Lets hit a quick recap of tea / fasting benefits.

TEAS HAVE POLYPHENOL ANTIOXIDANTS

TEAS PREVENT CANCER
National Library of Medicine Green tea consumption has been linked to the prevention of many types of cancer, including lung, colon, esophagus, mouth, stomach, small intestine, kidney, pancreas, and mammary glands [33]. Several epidemiological studies and clinical trials showed that green tea may reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.

THE STUDY
WebMD One large study in Japan followed 40,000 adult participants over 11 years, and found that daily green tea consumption was linked to lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease. In particular, the study was examining the link between the polyphenols (antioxidants) in green tea and cardiovascular diseases. The minimum daily consumption required to see this benefit was five cups per day.

BENEFITS OF FASTING

FASTING MAY BE BETTER THAN DIETING

FASTING & EXERCISE CAUSE AUTOPHAGY
Cancer.gov Fasting & exercise causes Autophagy which is the process by which a cell breaks down and destroys old, damaged, or abnormal proteins and other substances in its cytoplasm (the fluid inside a cell). The breakdown products are then recycled for important cell functions, especially during periods of stress or starvation.
AUTOPHAGY PREVENTS INFECTION
Cancer.gov Autophagy also helps destroy bacteria and viruses that cause infection and may prevent normal cells from becoming cancer cells. Basically the body’s way of “Cleaning house”
