Most of the beneficial properties of green tea are due to the fact that the leaves of this plant contain many water-soluble polyphenols - catechins. Their benefits extend to almost all human organ systems. They protect the cardiovascular and nervous systems, liver, prevent the development of obesity, diabetes, malignant tumors. And in combination with other anti-cancer substances, catechins give a synergistic effect. For example, curcumin (found in turmeric) and green tea catechins enhance each other's action in colon and laryngeal cancer cells. The combination of catechins and vanilloids in chillies results in their synergy in the prevention of various cancers. One study found that in a 25:1 ratio, catechins and vanilloids killed cancer cells 100 times more effectively than green tea alone.
If you are adding fresh herbs to your dishes, make sure you prepare them properly. Of course, you can take a large knife and finely chop the greens to the desired size. But you run the risk of crumpling the greens or throwing out the perfectly edible and healthy parts, the "tops and roots". So here's a guide to slicing greens.
You can't properly chop greens until they've been washed and completely dried. This is very important. Even slightly wet greens turn into a mess when you chop them. Fill a bowl with cold water and gently dip the bunch into the water. Any dirt will settle to the bottom and the greens will float. Take it out, place it in a special drying rack for the greens, or shake it gently. Almost done.
