Brief Introduction

Quercetin is a plant pigment (flavonoid). It is found in many plants and foods, such as red wine, onions, green tea, apples, berries, Ginkgo biloba, St. John’s wort, American elder, and others. Buckwheat tea has a large amount of quercetin. People use quercetin as a medicine.

Quercetin is used for treating conditions of the heart and blood vessels including “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis), high cholesterol, heart disease, and circulation problems. It is also used for diabetes, cataracts, hay fever, peptic ulcer, schizophrenia, inflammation, asthma, gout, viral infections, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), preventing cancer, and for treating chronic infections of the prostate. Quercetin is also used to increase endurance and improve athletic performance.

Main Function

1.Quercetin may expel phlegm and arrest coughing, it can also be used as anti-asthmatic.

2. Quercetin has anticancer activity, inhibits PI3-kinase activity and slightly inhibits PIP Kinase activity, reduces cancer cell growth via type II estrogen receptors.

3.Quercetin may inhibit histamine release from basophils and mast cells.

4. Quercetin may control the spread of certain viruses within the body.

5, Quercetin may help reduce tissue destruction.

6.Quercetin may also be beneficial in the treatment of dysentery, gout, and psoriasis

Study on Black Tea Consumption From 42 Countries Shows It Lowers Diabetes Risk

Those who drink high quantities of black tea have a significantly lower prevalence of diabetes. Black tea may also help reduce weight gain and cut body fat levels.

The study — published in BMJ Open –assessed the black tea consumption rates of 42 different countries and analysed them against each country’s rates of respiratory, infectious and cardiovascular disease, as well as cancer and diabetes.
Led by researchers at Swiss research agency Data Mining International, in partnership with Unilever, the team report a linear correlation between the quantity of black tea consumed and the incidence of diabetes across the 42 nations — with the research revealing that on average, a population that consumes double the amount of black tea to another has about one quarter less cases of diabetes.

Interest in tea and its constituents has bloomed in recent years, with the greatest focus on the leaf’s polyphenol content. Most of the studies have focused on green tea and its constituents, most notably epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). To date green tea has been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s and certain cancers, improved cardiovascular and oral health, as well as benefits in weight management.

“Although black tea extract contains only small amounts of these components, significant physiologic effects of administering black tea extracts were observed,” wrote researchers from the Functional Food Business Project at Kirin Holdings Company.
“It has been reported that the primary polyphenols in black tea are theaflavins and thearubigins. However, it has not yet been clarified whether thearubigins also have a preventive effect on obesity. Our results are consistent with the possibility that black tea-derived polyphenols are responsible for the observed physiologic effects of the black tea extracts,” they added.

Numerous studies have suggested that regular consumption of black tea is protective against a host of human cancers.
“This is the first time that a robust statistical relationship has been established between black tea consumption and diabetes prevalence in the world,” said Dr Ariel Beresniak, chief executive officer of Data Mining International.
Professor Genevieve Berger, chief research & development officer at Unilever — and co-author of the study — said the research adds to “a growing body of evidence which points to black tea’s health-giving properties.”
“Further investigation is required to understand if there is a causal relationship between the two, but the fact that populations which drink lots of black tea suffer less cases of diabetes is an interesting finding, and one which gives us good cause to carry out more research to further understand the driving factors behind this exciting research.”
Growing problem
The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes has increased six-fold over the past few decades. The International Diabetes Federation calculates that the number of those with the disease will soar from 285 million in 2010 to 438 million in 2030.
“While we cannot confirm a cause-effect relationship between tea drinking and diabetes, our findings are consistent with a number of biological, physiological, epidemiological and clinical studies suggesting that black tea components have a positive effect on glucose metabolism,” added Beresniak.
Study details
Berger and her colleagues systematically mined information on black (fermented) tea consumption in 50 countries across every continent, based on 2009 sales data collected by Euromonitor (World Tea Consumption Survey).
In this data, Ireland topped the league table for black tea drinkers, at more than 2 kilograms per year per person. This was closely followed by the UK and Turkey. At the bottom of the table were South Korea, Brazil, China, Morocco and Mexico, with very low consumption.
Using data from the World Health Survey, conducted by the World Health Organization, the team then assessed tea consumption against rates of cancer, diabetes, and respiratory, infectious and cardiovascular disease.
The only correlation found was between population black tea consumption and diabetes prevalence, they said. This link was then confirmed with further statistical analysis, which pointed to a strong linear association between low rates of diabetes in countries where consumption of black tea is high.

I drink myPlexus Slim with water and in a tall glass. How do you drink yours?

Slim ingredients:
Chlorogenic Acid
A natural compound found in plants, chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol. It is important for plant metabolism and offers a range of antimicrobial properties. This antioxidant has even been hailed a tumor inhibitor.

In Plexus Slim, it is used for its antioxidant properties and the fact that it inhibits the release of glucose. It prevents fat from being absorbed and it even boosts the metabolism.

Green coffee beans – Garcinia Cambogia
Garcinia Cambogia, a popular new weight loss ingredient, dramatically lowers the production of carbohydrates into fat. It blocks the negative effects of certain enzymes, and when there is less fat to use, your body burns calories faster.

Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha Lipoic Acid (also known as ALA) is an essential fatty acid produced in our cells, and is a powerful antioxidant that helps with cell rejuvenation in various medical conditions.

Polydextrose
Manufacturers use polydextrose to increase non-dietary fiber and sugar content in their products, while at the same time reducing fat and calories. It is is used in low-carb, diabetic and sugar-free recipes and is synthesized from glucose, 1 percent citric acid and 10% sorbitol.

Stevia Extract
Unlike artificial sweeteners, Stevia is a natural sweetener made from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is ideal for people who follow carbohydrate-controlled diets.

Luo Han Guo Extract
Another low-calorie sweetener, Luo Han Guo Extract is made from an herbaceous perennial vine. Traditional Chinese medicine use it to treat obesity and diabetes.

Chromium
This trace mineral is effective in metabolizing carbohydrates and burning fat. Since it provides blood sugar to the cells, it may increase insulin sensitivity and might help to curb sweet and carb cravings.

Beetroot Extract
A potent source of nutrition and natural energy, beetroot helps purify and build healthy blood cells. It also helps to normalize the body’s pH balance, boosting stamina and lowering blood pressure levels.

Grape Skin Extract
Grape seed extract is a rich source of life-giving ingredients, including carbohydrates, protein, polyphenols and lipids. Most polyphenols are in flavonoid form, and are highly potent antioxidants that protect against free radicals and oxidative damage. Polyphenols are sometimes referred to as nature’s biological response modifiers, due to their efficiency in fighting disease. They are fifty times more effective than vitamin C and twenty times more powerful than vitamin E.
