D. Oolong and Free Radicals
The polyphenol in oolong tea do the work of removing free radicals in our body, because it acts as one of the antioxidants and pushes other free radical antioxidants to do their job the body. Therefore, imbibing daily oolong tea can protect you from the potential harms that these free-moving cells can create in the your body. This might include cancer, atherosclerosis, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, neurodegeneration, and diabetes.
Any antioxidant characteristic of food or drink
is beneficial, but polyphenols are particularly powerful antioxidants in oolong tea.
E. Oolong tea and healthy skin
1. Eczema
As found in some scientific experiments, patients suffering from eczema can find beneficial results if they drink 3 cups of oolong tea throughout the day. Sometimes in less than a week good results can be seen. Reports were that the improvements were remarkable improvement in their skin.
2. Atopic Dermatitis
Although the reason for skin improvement has not been pinpointed (who cares why when there is good results), many scientists believe that this is because of the polyphenols which we find in oolong tea also work as anti-allergenic compounds. This is theorized to relieve irritation and chronic skin problems, which is called atopic dermatitis.
3. General skin problems
In a 2001 study, 54% of people tested were found to show positive, long-lasting results in terms of skin conditions after 6 months of daily intake of oolong tea.
