Is Green Tea Overrated?



Green Tea is trending too high currently. Every kitchen is blessed with a packet of Green Tea. Youth is trending towards green tea just like sheep’s following each other and falling in the same pit. Very few know about the real facts regarding Green and Black Tea. Most of them are drinking it to lose weight and gain stamina. But, “Are you sure Green Tea is going to help you there?” “Do you know the procedure involved in making Green Tea or blindly following the instructions of beauticians and gym-trainers?

How Green Tea and Black Tea are Made?

Both Green and Black tea are made from the leaves of Plant Camillia Senensis. They both have same composition of minerals and nutrients. The only difference between the two is that the black Tea is dried and fermented to intensify its flavor and color. This is the reason why milk turns brown when we add black tea in it.
Whereas, while manufacturing the Green Tea, the leaves of the Plant ‘Camillia Senensis’ are pan-fried to prevent fermentation. This process is the reason why the Green Tea does not have color. The level of oxidation decides the type of the tea, its color and intensity.



Green Tea Benefits

·       The researchers say that the Polyphenols present in the Green Tea helps to kill cancerous cells; however the exact mechanism is still unknown.

·   It is also observed that consumption of Green Tea controls cholesterol levels and maintains it on a balanced side.

·       As Published in the Journal of the American Heart Associations, it was observed that the consumption of Green Tea and Coffee reduces the chances of Stroke.

·       Both Green tea and Black Tea are Anti-Oxidants and they are good for health if cooked under maintained temperatures.
So, don’t say good-bye to your favorite tea, just change the way you boil it. Avoid boiling it on very high temperatures as then it will not be as beneficial as it should be to you.

Are You Serious About Your Dental Health?




Tooth Decay! It’s a big matter of concern for majority of parents. Today, with highly changed food habits and tastes, increased use of sugar and aerated drinks and lack of consciousness towards dental health, the youth is facing several issues related to dental health.

In olden days, the ‘Neem Sticks’ were chewed to kill germs and bad odor of mouth. “Neem” is a well known disinfectant. Its sour taste killed all germs and left the user fresh and odorless. People used to chew it for 10-15 minutes to maintain the oral health and hygiene. Unlike, today’s toothpastes which are more like sweets toffees; they just create froth in the mouth. This flavored toothpaste creates froth and an urgent urge to gargle, due to which the brushing time is reduced to 1-2 minutes only.

The toothbrush only cleans and scrubs the outer surface of the tooth, whereas the neem-stick used to be chewed and this exercise was very beneficial for the general health of the tooth. Today, people are more and more trending towards the use of these toothpastes and mouth-fresheners, but, they are forgetting that we need to clean our teeth for at least 10-15 minutes at a stretch, Lesser than that will not remove the bacteria and germs from in-between the teeth.

Children and even adults are not cleaning their mouth before going to bed. This is again a major reason for tooth-decay. This gives enough time for bacteria to multiply and attack on the tooth-enamel. Our mouth is the most prone –to-infection organ in the body. As we keep on and drinking, and moreover it remains wet every time. These two conditions are very favorable for the bacteria’s to multiply and attack. In order to avoid Tooth-Decay and other dental infections we should include regular brushing for at least three times a day after every meal, besides early morning.
