High blood pressure is a serious health risk that must be treated in
the care of a physician. High blood pressure places a serious
burden on the entire vascular system. Green tea catechins have
shown promise in treating high blood pressure by impeding the
action of the enzymes known to constrict blood vessels. This
constriction as well as additional burdens from high cholesterol,
cause blood pressure to soar out of control. Increasing the risk of
heart disease. One of the leading causes of high blood pressure is
due to the build up of plaque on artery walls. As this harmful plaque
builds up, blood supply must be squeezed through a narrower
opening. This can greatly reduce the amount of blood flow to vital
organs. Decreased blood flow is directly related to how much
oxygen the blood stream can supply to vital organs. Lack of oxygen
to the brain and heart can lead to serious illness and eventually
death if not treated. Drinking green tea has been linked to
preventing cholesterol from attaching to artery walls making it good
preventative medicine in the treatment of high blood pressure.

Green tea has been the preferred beverage for centuries in many Asian
and European countries. Tea has many therapeutic uses as well as
being a form of ritual and ceremony. The calming tranquility attained from
relaxing, and enjoying a warm cup of green tea can be the most beneficial
form of therapy yet. It has been said that laughter is the best medicine, so
enjoy a cup of tea with a friend and reap the health benefits of green tea.
