Tea Health Drink
Tea is a tropical and subtropical plants that are scientifically known as Camellia Sinensis. Of the approximately 3000 types of tea result of interbreeding, obtained three kinds of tea outcome of the process, namely green tea, oolong tea and black tea. Tea processing is the way with chopped tea leaves and dried in the sun so that the chemical changes before being dried. Such treatment will cause the leaves to brown and gives black tea flavor characteristics.
Green tea, the oldest type of tea, especially well-liked by the people of Japan and China. Here the tea leaves have little processing, heating and drying so that only green leaf color can be maintained. Whereas oolong tea is more a kind of transition between black tea and green tea. The three types of tea each have health benefits because they contain so-called biochemical bond polyfenol, including flavonoids. Flavonoids are a group of antioxidants that are naturally present in vegetables, fruits, and beverages such as tea and wine.
Subclass of polyphenols including flavonols, flavones, flavanon, anthocyanidins, catechins, and biflavan. Derivatives of catechins such as epi-catechin (EC), Epigallo-catechin (EGC), catechin Epigallo-gallate (EGCG), and quercetin is commonly found in tea. EGCg and quercetin is a powerful antioxidant with the power of up to 4-5 times higher than vitamin E and C which also are potent antioxidants. Antioxidants are known to prevent cells from damage since each cell damage will contribute more than 50 diseases.
Green tea contains EGCG, as well as black tea, says a biochemist. In a study by Dutch researchers say, consume 4-5 cups of black tea each day will reduce the risk of stroke by 70% compared with those who consumed 2 cups of tea a day or less. Other reports mention more of black tea consumption is associated with low heart attack cases. John Folts, director of the Medical School, Central Artery Thrombosis Research and Prevention, University of Wisconsin, USA to find the key properties of flavonoids in tea. Research results showed that flavonoids in black tea can inhibit the clotting of blood platelet cells thus preventing the clogging of blood vessels in hantung coronary disease and stroke. Another study states that fanatical tea drinkers had higher levels of cholesterol and low blood pressure, although it remains unclear whether it was directly caused by the tea.
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA to find the effect of the use of green tea on the skin up to 90%. It turned out that tea is very effective in protecting the skin from the sun can cause skin cancer. Tea also contains fluoride which is known to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent tooth decay. In a laboratory study in Japan, researchers found that tea helps prevent formation of dental plaque and kill bacteria cause inflammation of the gums.
Study in Japan showed that pendudukanya tea producing area known as a fanatic tea drinker, very low mortality rate due to cancer. Another study, undertaken in collaboration between the research team Oguni and cancer research center in Beijing to study the effects of green tea extract on mice that had been given food rations carcinogenic (cancer-triggering substances). Reportedly, the average rate of cancer in mice that received green tea extract half of the mice that did not get a green tea extract.
The researchers believe that known as catechin polyphenols found in green tea, helps the body fight cancer cells. Another study conducted by Oguni and Dr. Masami Yamada of Hamamatsu Medical Center found cathecin kill Helicobator pylori, the bacteria trigger stomach cancer.

Efficacy of garlic
Dr. Yongxiang Zhang of the University of Tokyo, Japan stated that the ability of garlic inhibit deterioration of the brain and the immune system in animals is very impressive. That does not mean that garlic is able to restore youth or completely inhibit the aging process. But at least the benefits of garlic helps prevent aging process.
In addition, according to research by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, SAMC chemicals found in garlic can inhibit cancer cell growth. By eating garlic, the risk of cancer can be reduced.
High cholesterol levels are usually a sign of the aging process. Garlic is consumed regularly in a certain period of time can help lower cholesterol levels. Anti-cholesterol agent in garlic called ajoene help prevent blood clots.
Dr. Gilles Fillion from the Institute Pasteur in France suspect, garlic can help relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. Obviously with a softer effect. He found that garlic is beneficial to help release serotonin, a chemical that is involved in regulating a wide range of moods and behavior, including anxiety, melancholy, pain, aggression, stress, lack of sleep and memory. High levels of serotonin in the brain tends to function as a sedative to reassure you, facilitate sleep, and relieve depression. Garlic helps to normalize the serotonin system.

Stroke disease
Is it a stroke?
Stroke disease is a disorder of brain function caused by blood flow to the brain is impaired (reduced). As a result, nutrients and oxygen to the brain dbutuhkan not properly fulfilled. Cause there are two kinds of stroke, namely the existence of blockages in blood vessels (thrombus), and the presence of a ruptured blood vessel.
Generally a stroke suffered by the elderly, because of the aging process causes hardening and narrowing of blood vessels (arteriosclerosis) and the presence of fats that clog arteries (atherosclerosis). But some recent cases showed an increase in cases of stroke that occurs in adolescence and childbearing age (15-40 years). In this group, stroke is the leading cause of stress, drug abuse, alcohol, heredity, and lifestyle is not healthy.
Causes of stroke
In the case of stroke adolescence, genetic factors (hereditary) is the major cause of stroke. Frequently encountered cases of stroke caused by blood vessels are fragile and easily broken, or the blood system disorders such as hemophilia and thalassemia diseases are passed down from parents of patients. Meanwhile, if a family member with diabetes (diabetes), hypertension (high blood pressure), and heart disease, stroke likely to be larger in other family members.
The cause of stroke is a food with high levels of bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) is very high. These evil Koleserol widely available in junk food, or fast food. In addition, other causes of stroke is a lazy habit of exercising and moving, lots of drinking alcohol, smoking, use of narcotic and addictive substances, much less rest time, and prolonged stress. Rupture of blood vessels are also often caused by high blood pressure (hypertension).
Symptoms of a stroke
The initial symptoms of stroke are generally dizziness, head was spinning (such as vertigo disease), then followed with a speech impairment and mouth muscles. Other symptoms are feeling tergangguanya sensor (can not feel anything, such as pinched or pricked needles) and the body feels paralyzed side, and the absence of reflex movement. Often also occur suddenly blind or blurred vision (due to the blood supply and oxygen to the eye is reduced drastically), disruption of taste in the mouth of the system and the muscles of the mouth (so often met with a wry face), paralysis of the muscles of the body, and disruption system memory and emotion. Common people can not stop crying because of paralysis of the brain controls the emotions system. It makes people act like a stroke patient psychiatric disease, but it's not. Things like this that need to be understood by the family of the patient.
The healing process
There are two main healing process that must be lived with. First is the healing with medicines in hospitals. Strict control should be done to keep the bad cholesterol can be lowered and did not grow up. In addition, patients are also prohibited from eating foods that can trigger a stroke such as junk food and salt (can lead to hypertension).
The healing process second is fisiotherapy, which exercises the muscles to restore muscle function and communication function to approach its former condition. Fisiotherapi Fisiotherapi conducted with instructors, and patients must adhere to the exercise performed. If this is not lived Fisiotherapi seriously, it can occur in permanent paralysis of the limbs that have experienced paralysis.
Healing in patients with stroke varies widely. There can be cleared completely (100%), some are only 50% only. Healing is dependent on whether or not severe stroke, the condition of the patient's body, in obedience to the patient undergoing the healing process, perseverance and spirit of the patient to recover, as well as support and understanding from all family members of patients. Often found that stroke survivors can recover, but suffered from severe depression because their families do not want to understand and feel very disturbed by illness (such as attitudes do not accept the person's condition, the harsh treatment because the patient had to clean dirt, submit the patient to the nurse who also treats patients with a rough, and so on). This should be avoided if a family member who suffered a stroke.
