This benefit applies to both green and black tea, though green tea may have a slight advantage. Part of this protection may be a lower risk of dying of pneumonia. Five randomized, controlled trials have shown that study participants randomized to green tea are about a third less likely to come down with the flu.

Within just one hour of drinking a single cup (200 mL) of green tea, we can significantly cut down on the rate of DNA damage in our cells. This is because green tea significantly boosts the activity of a DNA repair enzyme in our body that can fix DNA damage. And within a month, drinking two small daily cups (400 mL) of green tea can improve DNA resistance to free radical damage in the first place, indicating that green tea has significant genoprotective––that is, DNA-protecting––effects.

Unlike most antiviral drugs, green tea appears to work by boosting the immune system to combat diseases such as ge***al warts (caused by HPV) and the flu (caused by the influenza virus).

Our antioxidant defenses decline over time. The "free radical theory of graying" suggests that, as we age, the free radicals naturally produced during pigment production aren’t cleaned up as effectively. Eventually, this damages our pigment-producing cells, leading to gray hair.
Graying is thought to be mainly genetic. Up to 90% of people with premature graying have a family history of it.

If the rate of graying is caused by oxidative damage, though, what role might antioxidants play?

People with premature graying tend to have higher circulating markers of oxidative damage and lower levels of antioxidants in their blood. The link between smoking and premature graying supports the possibility that free radicals may speed up the graying process. Interestingly, alcohol consumption, which also causes oxidative stress, is not significantly associated with premature graying.

For those eating a plant-based diet to boost their antioxidant intake, vitamin B12 is the Achilles’ heel. Without supplements or fortified foods, B12 deficiency is a real risk.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the rare reversible causes of hair graying. Thankfully, hair can repigment after B12 levels are restored.
Hypothyroidism is another reversible cause of premature graying. Hair can return to its natural color once properly treated.

I always recommend red light therapy with the infrared option. This is a link to one that I use. https://amzn.to/45jyWTP Red Light therapy is great for wrinkles and fine lines, as it is known to boost collagen production. It helps to soothe sore muscles after a workout or a strong yoga session. 🙂 I use mine everyday.

Yoga is still my favorite, but ballet is so lovely too. Exercising is about finding something to do that you like. Why? Because you will keep doing it and consistensy is the key.

My first pair of adult ballet 🩰. This is in addition to my yoga, but I am enjoying the learning process!
