Can Green Tea Help Fight Gout, Arthritis, and Inflammation?

We are asked this question quite often - can green tea help to fight Gout? Unfortunately, the answer isn't quite so simple. First, let us cover all of the wonderful components green tea has to offer. Green tea is native to China and India, having been used in their traditional medicine methods, but only recently gained popularity here is the US. Tea is one of the most highly consumed beverages in the world, second only to water. Since green tea is made from un-oxidized leaves, it contains the most benefits. Green tea offers polyphenols, antioxidants found to be more potent than Vitamin C. Studies have indicated the powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of these polyphenols can assist in areas such as:

Hypertension

Diabetes (Glucose management)

Liver health

Cardiovascular health and Atherosclerosis

Brain health

Weight loss, fat burning, and physical performance enhancement

May help to lower cholesterol

They may even be able to lower your risk of various types of cancer including breast, bladder, lung, prostate, skin, stomach, ovarian, bowel, and esophageal. *

Tea catechins contain powerful antibacterial and antiviral agents which could make them effective in treating many ailments and even inhibit the spread of many diseases.

The downside: There is caffeine in green tea. Some research has indicated that increasing your caffeine intake can take a toll on Gout and Arthritis. Some studies have even shown an increase in risk of up to 80% when caffeine intake was doubled. Green tea also contains tannins. These compounds can decrease the absorption of iron and folic acid. Green tea and green tea extract is not advised for people with:

High blood pressure

Kidney problems

Liver problems (typically someone suffering with Gout is having problems in the liver and/or kidney area and may not even be aware)

Stomach Ulcers

Anxiety

Lastly, green tea (or all tea and coffee for that matter) is a natural diuretic. While we use herbs to utilize their diuretic qualities and encourage uric acid removal through increased urination, green tea can push too much out of the body and cause dehydration. Many people tend to count their tea intake as a liquid that hydrates just like water would. This could pose a real threat. Hydration is crucial for uric acid control and removal. No other liquid except for water can truly count towards proper hydration, and tea will only further the removal of critical hydration levels.

Final verdict? Using a high quality, organic green tea in moderation could provide benefits towards Inflammation and Gout control. Be sure NOT to count those ounces towards your water intake requirements.
