TEH BAIK UNTUK KESEHATAN HATI
TEH BAIK UNTUK KESEHATAN HATI
Teh memang terkenal sebagai minuman berkhasiat. Sejak zaman dulu, orang selalu minum teh untuk menjaga kesehatannya. Selain menghilangkan dahaga, teh masih menyimpan banyak rahasia. Baru-baru ini ditemukan lagi salah satu khasiat teh, yaitu teh ternyata baik untuk kesehatan hati.
Temuan hasil penelitian yang disponsori oleh industry teh dunia ini, dikutip kompas.com, menyimpulkan, segelas teh sangat baik untuk hati.
Walaupun hasil temuan ini belum bisa mengangkat “derajat” teh sebagai makanan atau minuman kesehatan, namun penelitian yang dilakukan di Universitas Boston menemukan bahwa teh dapat membuat kerja arteri menjadi lebih baik pada orang yang mengidap penyakit hati.
Hasil penelitian tentang teh sebelumnya juga menyimpulkan bahwa orang biasa minum teh mempunyai resiko lebih rendah untuk terserang penyakit hati ketimbang yang jarang minum teh.
Dalam penelitian yang terbaru yang dibiayai oleh “The North America Tea Trade Health Research Association” (NATHRA) meneliti beberapa orang yang minum teh secara teratur, lalu mengukur efek yang ditimbulkan pada tubuh secara cermat. Hasil penelitian ini dipresentasikan pada pertemuan rutin Assosiasi Hati Amerika (AHA) di New Orleans.
Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 50 orang pria dan wanita yang mempunyai penyakit hati. Semua relawan diminta untuk minum teh sebanyak 4 sampai 8 cangkir teh setiap hari selama sebulan. Selanjutnya mereka diminta minum air putih setiap hari untuk satu bulan berikutnya.
Para peneliti menemukan aliran darah dan tekanan darah para relawan menjadi normal disaat mereka minum teh selama satu bulan, tidak ada perubahan yang berarti terhadap tekanan dan aliran darah mereka.
Masih menurut hasil penelitian tersebut juga sungguh menggembirakan buat kita-kita yang doyan minum teh, khususnya yang punya penyakit hati. Tapi sayangnya, para peneliti itu sendiri yang ‘dikomandoni’ oleh Dr. Joseph A. Vita, tidak mau gegabah untuk menyarankan minum teh sebagai upaya penyembuhan penyakit hati.
“saya minum teh karena saya yakin teh memang baik untuk kesehatan”, kata Vita. ”Tapi saya dan rekan-rekan masih belum siap untuk merokomendasikan minum teh untuk perawatan hati”.
