How To Clean A Green Pool - Part 1 - Swimming Pool Cleaning
Green Tea and Normal Blood Pressure
The scientific literature seems to indicate that there is. In fact, studies of numerous kinds all point to the fact that a reduction in high blood pressure (aka hypertension) may be one of the principal benefits of green tea consumption.
As early as 1994, scientists had already noticed the ability of green tea to reduce blood pressure in laboratory rats. In a report on blood pressure and green tea, researchers found that a group of compounds in green tea called "catechins" serve to consistently reduce blood pressure. High blood pressure was induced in several laboratory rats, some of which were then given a solution containing green tea catechins, especially one known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg). Those rats who were treated with catechins showed lower blood pressure after the trial was finished.
Interestingly enough, an unrelated study published in 1999 found that a separate green tea compound known as "L-Theanine" also has anti-hypertensive properties. Hence, it would seem that green tea fights high blood pressure with two different compounds. In this study, spontaneously hypertensive rats where given injections of L-Theanine in varying doses. The researchers found that higher doses of the compound were effective in reducing the blood pressure of the rats. It should be noted that in the first of these two studies, L-Theanine was not present, and that in the second, no catechins were present. Therefore, these studies show that green tea uses two separate mechanisms simultaneously to reduce blood pressure.
It would seem that at least one of these substances is working quite well to prevent hypertension in humans, because population based studies confirm that consumption of tea does in fact reduce average blood pressure. For example, in a study conducted in Norway, researchers found that out of over 20,000 participants, those who drank up to five cups of tea per day were less likely to have high blood pressure. In addition, it was found that each cup consumed between one and five was associated with an incrementally decreased risk.
The pattern between these laboratory studies and population-based studies is clear: green tea contributes to a decrease in the risk of high blood pressure, whether this be the result of EGCg, theanine, or both. So drinking tea is certainly a great way to keep your blood pressure down. However, it should also noted that EGCg is much more prevalent in whole green tea leaves than in brewed tea—as much as 100 times more prevalent according to a data table compiled by the USDA. Hence, while drinking green tea is certainly good for you, eating whole green tea leaves may be even better.

Frequently Asked Questions...
can anyone tell me how to clear green water in my pond i have tried barley straw flakes and chemicals?
I cannot afford to buy uv filters and things like that
Answer:
The key to clear water is to achieve a balance between the various inhabitants. The plants absorb mineral salts and carbon dioxide from the water and in the presence of sunlight, create food materials and oxygen. The fish absorb oxygen through their gills; apart from their aesthetic attraction, they feed on such pests as water-lily beetles,aphids and caddis flies. They also fertilise plants with their excreta.
So long as the plants- particularly the sub-merged oxygenators get plenty of light and have to compete for minerals, the microscopic algae that make the water murky will have little chance to thrive. On the other hand there must not be too much light, in relation to the number of oxygenators. It is vital therefore to carefully work out the number and size of the pools inhabitants.
There cannot be too many under water oxygenators, especially in the first year or two; after that any surplus can be removed.
But floating and deep-water aquatics (such as waterlilies) must never cover more than about half of the pools surface, so as not to create too much shade.
Murky green water indicates that there are too few under water oxygenating plants to compete for the available light and minerals, ot that too little shade is cast by water lilies. Correct these causes of imbalance, and then if necessary use permanganate of potash to clear the water.
