The public has long recognized that smoking is prone to lung cancer. In order to prevent and fight cancer, we advise you to drink green tea.
According to scientific analysis: in every 100 grams of green tea contains methionine 253 mg, 14.8 grams of edible fiber, potassium 332 mg, copper 1.57 mg, zinc 4.24 micrograms, magnesium 247 milligrams, 2.5 milligrams of carotenoids, VF15.2 milligrams, VB10.3 milligrams.
The trace element zinc is associated with enzyme activity and metabolic function in the body; carotene has the function of inhibiting the production and growth of cancer cells; magnesium and selenium and other trace elements are very important for the function of the heart muscle and preventing oxidative damage to the cell membrane.
Recently, according to the scientific research results of SHI and others reported in foreign medical journals: decaffeinated green flowers can inhibit the early changes of carcinogenesis caused by potential tobacco-specific carcinogens in the test tube.
Decaffeinated green tea strongly inhibited the oxidation of specific carcinogens and the methylation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) induced by specific carcinogens in vitro. Prophylactic treatment with decaffeinated green tea extracts in mice injected with specific carcinogens reduced tumor proliferation to <56% in mice with lung adenocarcinoma and <20% in mice with lung adenocarcinoma, and treatment with green tea was initiated 5 weeks after injection of specific carcinogens, and still reduced the proliferation of tumors.
Tea can not only clear heat, diuretic, refreshing, but also for smokers to prevent cancer and anti-cancer drink.

Drinking tea can reduce the harm of smoking
According to the World Health Organization, the British Imperial Cancer Research Fund and the American Cancer Society *** with the completion of a survey on smoking, said that the world every 10 seconds there is one person died of smoking-induced diseases, every year there are at least 3.15 million people around the world due to smoking. Every year, at least 3.15 million people around the world die from smoking, and this number is still increasing; and the number of smokers in China has reached more than 300 million, the annual consumption of cigarettes more than 15,000,000,000,000, accounting for more than 30% of the world's total consumption of more than 70% of China's middle-aged men smoked, and every minute there is one person died from smoking. If the number of Chinese smokers is still increasing, it is expected that 5 people will die from smoking every minute. This is an alarming sign for smokers. From a health point of view, it is imperative to quit smoking. And for those smokers who are still difficult to quit the pain of smoking, drinking tea is the best way to reduce the harm of smoking. Because the tea polyphenols, vitamin C and other components of tea cigarettes contain a variety of harmful substances have a degrading effect, while drinking tea while smoking, toxins can be lifted with the tea constantly, through the feces out of the body. Smokers often drink tea, there are four major benefits:
One is to reduce the possibility of smoking-induced cancer. Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 kinds of chemicals, of which more than 50 kinds of chemicals belong to carcinogenic substances, and through the respiratory tract absorption and the most conducive to the spread of carcinogenic substances in these cigarettes in the whole body. Long-term smoking can not only lead to lung cancer, but also esophageal cancer, laryngeal cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer. Bladder cancer and other cancers, especially lung cancer patients smokers to account for 80% to 99.5%. Researchers from Houston Anderson Cancer Center in the United States from a molecular point of view to elucidate the relationship between smoking and lung cancer, pointed out that smoking-induced group mutation is the direct cause of lung tumors. Drinking tea has cancer prevention and anti-cancer effects. Tea polyphenols in tea can inhibit the release of free radicals and control the proliferation of cancer cells. Free radicals are a group of harmful "garbage" produced by the human body in the process of respiration and metabolism while consuming oxygen. It exists in almost every cell of the human body, is a major hidden danger and "time bomb". Research shows that free radicals are also an important cause of genetic mutation and cancer. Under normal circumstances, the human organism is in a dynamic balance of free radicals are constantly produced and eliminated. It is worth pointing out that cigarettes are free radicals generator, it is determined that people smoke every day smoke can produce 10 of the 17th free radicals, smoking will destroy this dynamic balance. Free radicals produce too much, the possibility of human carcinogenicity has increased. Tea polyphenols in the main body of the tea catechin-like substances is an antioxidant, but also a strong inhibitor of free radicals. It can inhibit the occurrence of tumors caused by smoking. Green tea in the tea polyphenols scavenging free radicals is stronger, they have a strong scavenging effect on superoxide anion free radicals. Chinese Academy of Preventive Medical Sciences Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene in the study of 145 kinds of tea confirmed that tea does have the ability to block the synthesis of nitrosamines in the body. Nanjing Zhongshan Cancer Institute Yan Yusen found that the test, tea polyphenols into the human body can be combined with carcinogens, so that its decomposition, reducing carcinogenic activity, thereby inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. The United States Po Du University engaged in food and nutritional research Dorothy Moore said: "Our research shows that the leaves of green tea is rich in anticancer substances, and its concentration is quite high, enough to produce anticancer effects in vivo." Dr. John Weisberg, president emeritus of the American Health Foundation, who has forty years of extensive experience in the area of cancer research, said, "The results of my study show that if you drink six cups of tea a day, you can be cancer-free." The results of the study by researchers at Columbia University's Harcum Medical Center also show that green tea has anti-cancer properties. Therefore smokers drink tea helps to reduce the occurrence of cancer.
The second is that it can help reduce the radiation pollution caused by inhaling in-laws. According to the United States, the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, Dr. Joseph DiFranzan estimated that 30 cigarettes a day, his lungs in a year to get the cigarette in the radioactive substances in the amount of radiation equivalent to his skin in the chest X-ray machine through about 300 times. Drinking tea can effectively prevent radioactive substances from invading the bone marrow and can make strontium 90 and drill 60 rapidly discharged from the body, tea catechins and lipopolysaccharide substances can reduce the harm of radiation on the human body, the hematopoietic function has a significant protective effect. Tea tablets for the treatment of mild radiation sickness caused by radiation clinical trials have shown that its total effectiveness rate of up to 90%.
Thirdly, it can prevent and control cataracts caused by smoking. Scientific research has found that smoking is becoming the enemy of eye health, will promote cataracts. U.S. Harvard University School of Medicine researchers found that, compared with those who never smoked cigarettes, smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, the likelihood of cataracts is two times that of non-smokers, the greater the amount of smoking, the likelihood of cataracts is also the greater. In China's unexplained blindness in 4% of the people are caused by smoking. Canadian scientists have found that drinking more tea can prevent cataracts. They believe that cataracts are due to oxidative reactions in the body of free radicals in the lens of the eye due to the decomposition of tea polyphenols produced by the antioxidant metabolites can prevent the body from generating free radicals in the oxidative reactions occur. In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrition and Aging Research Center scientists have recently found that the incidence of cataracts and human plasma carotene content and concentration of the size of the close relationship. Where cataract patients, their plasma carotene concentration is often very low, and the incidence of 3 to 4 times higher than normal. Tea contains much higher carotene than general vegetables and fruits. Carotene not only has the role of preventing cataracts, eye protection, but also anti-cancer, anti-cancer, anti-nicotine, detoxification effect. Smokers drink tea to protect eyesight is good.
Fourth, you can supplement the vitamin C consumed due to smoking, because smoking can prompt the human serum vitamin C and smoke in the carbon monoxide, nitrosamines, nicotine, formaldehyde and other oxidative carcinogens combined, and then transformed into a non-toxic compounds or non-mutagenic substances discharged into the body, so that the vitamin C content is greatly reduced, resulting in the body of the garbage of a large number of accumulation of free radicals to the human body to leave a hidden danger, exacerbated the free radicals, the human body is not a good choice, and the human body is not a good choice, but a good choice. The hidden danger, exacerbated the free radicals on a variety of normal cell damage. Bino inhaled nicotine and other harmful substances, so that the concentration of oxygen free radicals in the cell name plus. Oxygen free radicals on human cells have an invasive effect, very easy to cause cancerous reaction, the United States researchers found that regular supplementation of a certain dose of vitamin C can be avoided by smoking this harm. Because vitamin C has an antioxidant effect, can inhibit the generation of oxygen free radicals, so that the body's cells from infringement. Tea is rich in vitamin C content, especially green tea, under normal circumstances, the leaching rate of vitamin C in tea can reach about 80%, the tea broth in the vitamin C at a temperature of 90 degrees Celsius is rarely destroyed. Smoking tone drinking tea can be ingested to the right amount of vitamin C, especially insist on drinking green tea, can be completely supplemented due to smoking caused by the lack of vitamin C, in order to maintain the dynamic balance of the body's production and removal of free radicals, enhance the body's ability to resist.
In short, although drinking tea has certain benefits for smokers, but not to encourage you to continue to smoke, not because drinking tea can alleviate the hazards of smoking and can be reckless to smoke. On the contrary, because the harm caused by smoking is great and tragic, both to the individual and to society, it is wise to quit smoking. Drinking tea can only be used as a remedial measure to minimize the harmful effects of smoking. For the sake of your health, quitting smoking for good is our ultimate goal.
