i just wanted to ask what the half gallon of cranberry juice does for drinking it in 3 consecutive days and the green tea as well? just cuirous i heard this before but never really knew why it was done?
In the recent study, researchers found that a substance in cranberry juice keeps infection-causing bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urethra. Cranberry juice also makes the urine more acidic.
The kidneys are another area where green tea has shown to have protective effects. Decreased kidney function due to aging and kidney failure are a frequent cause of death. The public is generally unaware that anything can be done to prevent the age-related decline in kidney function. Making use of a wide-range of antioxidant protection appears crucial, and flavonoids, including green tea catechins, are very potent antioxidants. Epigallocatechin gallate was shown to induce antioxidant enzymes in the kidneys, as well as to reduce uremic toxins in the blood, suggesting improved kidney function in an animal model of kidney failure.
Kidney problems are often associated with high blood sugar and consequent glycosylation of various proteins (hence the strong link between kidney failure and diabetes). Since green tea has the ability to lower serum glucose, this is another way in which it helps protect against kidney failure. Likewise, the antioxidant properties of green tea likely play a significant role in protecting the kidneys. Since green tea has been shown to lower the concentrations of free radicals and lipid peroxides in organs such as the liver and the pancreas, this is likely to be true in the kidneys as well.
Maintaining kidney health is a crucial though often neglected part of anti-aging medicine. Green tea is one of the resources we have for protecting this critical detoxification system, and it seems to be a particularly powerful one.
plus green tea is a potent diuretic. frequent urination is a side effect f drinking greent tea.
bro there is tons of literature on these two topics. do a google search and read for hours on the benefits of both these products.
hope this helps.
