Which chronic disorder afflicts women three times more often than men? Which disorder is most frequent in people aged 40 to 50 years old, but can also occur in anyone, young or old? Which disorder can lead to chronic pain and lost of mobility? The answer to all of these questions is rheumatoid arthritis, and green tea antioxidants may help prevent and treat the disorder. A 1999 study reported that people who drank four or more cups of green tea each day were less likely to get rheumatoid arthritis, and it reduced the severity of the disorder for those who already had it.
As an alternative prevention and treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, green tea works in three ways. First, its antioxidants help protect joints from free-radical damage. Second, green tea helps promote “friendly” bacteria to the intestine, which help in the therapy of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. And third, those friendly bacteria that green tea encourages are needed for a healthy intestine. While other arthritis treatments may be needed – always consult your doctor – green tea can be a delicious, soothing addition to your healthy regimen.
