Green tea, rich in antioxidants and anti-cancer ingredients, ‘green tea polyphenols’… Acting as a ‘secret weapon’ to block UV rays
If you enjoy drinking green tea, it seems that you can get a big help in protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays that are getting hotter and hotter.
Scott McGlyn, a famous British skin care expert, said, “Preparation for skin exposure to the sun begins with drinking green tea,” reported American science and culture portal ‘Studyfinds’. Green tea is rich in green tea polyphenol (GTPP), a vegetable polyphenol that protects the skin, which can be of great help in preventing sunburn.
According to a study conducted by University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center in the United States, green tea prevents skin damage caused by UV exposure. It is thanks to green tea polyphenol (GTPP), which is effective in antioxidant, anticancer, and immune regulation.
Green tea polyphenols suppress breast cancer and skin cancer caused by environmental pollution. It also helps suppress T-lymphocyte expansion and coronary artery inflammation in autoimmune diseases. Applying or drinking green tea extract to the skin has been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidation and protect the skin from the sun and harmful chemicals. In addition, if you drink hot green tea, you can expect various health promotion effects such as greatly reducing the DNA damage of peripheral leukocytes caused by ultraviolet rays.
The results of this study (Protective Mechanisms of Green Tea Polyphenols in Skin) can be found in the international journal «Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity». A recent study at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States found that green tea is also effective in preventing oral cancer.
Skin care expert McGlyn said, “It is desirable to enjoy drinking green tea in the summer and apply an appropriate sunscreen to the face and body.” When outdoors, take measures such as wearing a shirt or using an umbrella.
