Youthful arteries expand and contract effortlessly with each heart beat. Aging causes a loss of arterial elasticity. As noted above, green tea inhibits thromboxane production, which is one cause of arterial constriction. A more significant cause of hypertension is an enzyme secreted by the kidneys called angiotension-converting enzyme (ACE). Popular drugs such as Capoten, Vasotec and Zestril function as angiotension-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors). By blocking the effects of ACE, blood pressure is reduced significantly in most hypertensives. Green tea is a natural ACE inhibitor. Published studies show lowered blood pressure in animals and humans given green tea extracts.

If you are going to use green tea to treat hypertension, do so only under the supervision of a competent medical professional who can evaluate whether it is working for you. Regular blood-pressure testing is mandatory.

Nowadays, one tenth of people in the world suffer from high blood pressure. The increase of blood pressure is mainly caused by angiotensim converting enzyme (ACE) in the body. Many medicines against high blood pressure are ACE inhibitors. Tests show that Tea Polyphenols have ACE inhibition effect, and epigallocatechin gallate is the most effective one, the second one is epicatechin gallate.

Animal tests in SHR mice show that, fed with the diet mixed with 0.5% of TP, the blood pressure increase is controlled, while fed with the normal diet without TP, the blood pressure starts increasing again.

Besides TP, another element in tea, y-amino acid, is also effective in reducing blood pressure. Investigation shows that there is a low incidence of high blood disease among the people who drink tea often. It's one third lower in the rate of high blood diseases for the people who drink daily 10 cups of tea than for those who drink daily 4 cups of tea or even less.

It aids in treating high cholesterol, high triglycerides, hypertension, and stimulates immune functions. Green Tea may actually lower the risks for arteriosclerosis. Research has shown that it guards against cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol levels, improving the ratio of LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol, reduces platelet aggregation (clumping or clotting of blood cells), and lowers blood pressure.
