fases da lua

chá: esse outro meu coração verde
que fora do meu peito pulsa.
ritual de silêncio, amargo e quente
que te dou a beber em cada taça

Definição, Chá Verde - Fernanda Dias

o sol cai,
ouro líquido,nos lagos de Nam Vam.
o céu atrás do leque de água
jade e nácar na neblina.
o chá verde, um aroma;
e a música que fazes,
rosto e timbre da tarde.

Exaltação das Tardes, Chá Verde - Fernanda Dias

e para que o perfume da rosa não nos sufocasse
com o seu mistério antigo e decadente
os deuses deram o sabor às lichias
a cor aos lótus,
e essa frescura acetinada e dura
ao opulento jade do teu peito.
Sonho de Primavera, Chá Verde - Fernanda Dias

Beneficios do CHA VERDE : Green tea may have health benefits, but it won't prevent cancer
Posted Dec 9th 2005 8:52AM by Jen CreerFiled under: Prevention, Prevention
I have long heard of the health benefits of drinking green tea. Oh, that I were a tea drinker; but it's pretty much all coffee, all the time in this mouth. But even so, I hate to be the one to tell you this. Go ahead and drink your green tea. It will lower your cholesterol. For tea, it tastes pretty good. But it's probably not going to prevent cancer. People have claimed that the anti-oxidants in green tea prevent cancer, but there is not a lot of clinical research to back this up. Studies done on people living in Japan have shown no correlation between drinking green tea and stomach and breast cancer. One study performed in Los Angeles did see reduced indicents of breast cancer among women who drank green tea, but there could be other variables at work; these women may make a lot of lifestyle choices which make them less likely to get breast cancer, or they may happen to like green tea and happen not to be predisposed to the cancer. There are too many variables that are simply unaccounted for. So, go ahead and enjoy your tea; just try not to expect too much. (http://www.thecancerblog.com)

CEREJAS - ANTICANCERIGENAS ?
Adoro cerejas e como kilos delas nesta época. Sabia dos beneficios deste delicioso fruto para tratamento de artrite-reumatóide, gota, ácido úrico e para eliminação de liquidos no organismo mas fico ainda a saber que é um potencial preventivo de cancro. Razão de sobra para comer ainda mais cerejas...

Bing cherries: sweet cancer prevention food
Posted May 16th 2006 7:30AM by Dalene EntenmannFiled under: Alternative Therapies, PreventionFrom May to August, life is a bowl of cherries. Most would agree, Bing cherries are a natural and delightfully sweet juicy treat. Now, as well as tasting good, researchers are telling us that cherries are also good for us. According to Agricultural Research Service chemist Darshan S. Kelley and colleagues, the stone fruit is a cancer prevention food with the ability to fight the inflammation associated with some cancers. In the blood samples of study volunteers, who consumed 45 fresh Bing cherries daily for 28 consecutive days, levels of three indicators of inflammation -- nitric oxide, C- reactive protein and a marker for T-cell activation -- dropped by 18 to 25 percent. The levels of inflammation continued to drop as time went on.
