A new study by experts led by Feng Lei, at National
University of Singapore’s School of Medicine, confirms a link between tea
intake and cognitive decline, MNT has reported.
There have been several earlier studies underlining
the high levels of antioxidants in tea linked to a lower risk of diabetes,
heart disease, and cancer. The health
benefits of tea consumption have also been well documented according to the
study published in The American Jourbnal
of Public Health. However, its potential health benefits go much farther.
The latest study reported by MNT indicates up to 86%
lower risk of cognitive decline for tea drinkers. The researchers
note that the cognitive benefits were seen with consumption of tea that was
brewed from tea leaves, such as green tea, black tea, and oolong tea.
The study links the beneficial
characteristics of tea to its healthy contents such as theaflavins, catechins,
thearubigins, and L-theanine.
"These compounds exhibit
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential and other bioactive
properties that may protect the brain from vascular damage and
neurodegeneration," Lei explains
Herbally Radiant has been using tea extracts in its
beauty formulations. The extracts of buds and leaves of tea make very effective
ingredient in natural organic products. Green teas have the highest
concentration of antioxidant properties (polyphenol and flavonoid content).
Green and white teas thus possess anticancer and antimutagenic properties which
also provide excellent skin nourishment.
Green tea is particularly beneficial in preventing
heart problems, lowering cholesterol, burning fat, preventing strokes and
diabetes. The green tea is available with minimal processing – its leaves are
withered and not fermented. It therefore becomes effective organic ingredient
in top beauty formulations designed to prevent acne and restore the shine of
the facial skin, while also nourishing hair and maintaining their shine.
Herbally Radiant has therefore used green tea
extract for its anti-aging properties.
Its top of the range products, namely, Rejuvenating and Radiant contain
a combination of essential oils which work in tandem with tea extracts and create
a revitalized and bright skin. These formulations have been very popular with
customers who have experienced reduction in appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles.
The Rejuvenating and Radiant Cleansers have been
specially launched by Herbally Radiant to help eliminate very gently all impurities,
including make-up marks, without stripping skin of its natural oils. This helps
skin to absorb rich nutrients from specially prepared serums and
moisturizers. The net result is a fine
rejuvenated skin, showing bright side of it.
