“…Green tea (from the Camellia sinensis plant) is one of the most popular beverages in the world and the impact of its consumption on various diseases and populations have been reported in clinical studies and in laboratory animals (Jurgens et al, 2012).The health effects of green tea are attributed to the high content of polyphenolic flavonoids, particularly the catechins, which are the major nutraceutical compounds in the tea. Green tea catechins have been shown to suppress chronic inflammation and oxidative stress damage, increase antioxidant capacity and possess anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity and antidiabetic properties (Khan and Mukhtar, 2007;Lakenbrink et al, 2000;Zaveri, 2006).…”

Objective: To assess the knowledge of medicinal plants and herbal medicines by Community Health Agents (ACS) in a ESF municipality Ijuí/RS. Method: Cross-sectional study, quantitative and qualitative, with 13 ACS. Data collection occurred in April 2014, and the analysis of quantitative data was done using descriptive statistics. The qualitative data were presented through the Collective Subject Discourse. Results: The main understanding of ACS on herbal medicine is related to the use of medicinal plants. Everyone agrees on the availability of plants and herbal medicines in the NHS, and provide information as to the mode of preparation and storage plants. Also believe that the incorrect use of plants can cause health hazards. Conclusion: There is a lack of knowledge about herbal medicine for ACS. Herbal medicine can and should be considered as a field of interaction of knowledge and practice that values and considers cultural resources, practices and local knowledge, with the involvement of the professional health care team. Todo el mundo está de acuerdo sobre la disponibilidad de plantas y hierbas medicinales en el NHS, y proporcionar información en cuanto a la forma de las plantas de preparación y almacenamiento. También creen que el uso incorrecto de las plantas puede causar riesgos para la salud. Conclusión: Existe una brecha de conocimiento con respecto a la fitoterapia por ACS. La medicina herbaria puede y debe ser considerado como un campo de interacción de los conocimientos y la práctica que valora y considera los recursos culturales, las prácticas y el conocimiento local, con la participación del equipo profesional de la salud. Descriptores: Plantas medicinales; Trabajadores de la Salud de la Comunidad; Fitoterapia. Descriptors

“…The ingredients in green tea play a role in increasing energy metabolism, resulting in weight loss [24]. In a randomized controlled study, intake of high catechins green tea (468 mg catechins) by moderately overweight Chinese subjects for a period of 90 days lead to reduction in intra-abdominal fat, waist circumference reduction, reduction in body weight, total body fat and body fat % indicating improvements in body composition and reduction in abdominal fatness [25].…”

A balanced low calorie meal replacement (BLC-MR) formula diet has been indicated to manage overweight/obesity and metabolic profile of obese/ overweight individuals, thus effectively support in reducing the economic burden of the disease and its consequences. The present retrospective clinical experience report enrolled 5 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without any medication for diabetes. The patients were requested to consume a BLC-MR formula diet for a period of 8 weeks by replacing their breakfast, lunch and dinner. In case they felt hungry at any time of the day during the study period, they were requested to consume cooked vegetables. On day 0 (week 1), measurements of body weight, body mass index, and body fat were performed. Fasting and post prandial blood sugar levels, serum insulin, HOMA-IR and HOMA β% were assessed. These measurements were repeated at end of week 8 after the intervention period was over. All measurements were undertaken using standard methodology. All patients were under strict monitoring of the practicing doctor. BLC-MR formula diet resulted in a significant reduction in body weight (p = 0.004), body mass index (p = 0.0002) as well as body fat percentage (p = 0.008) among patients with diabetes. There were significant improvements in glycaemia showing reduction is fasting (p = 0.011) and postprandial blood sugar levels (p = 0.012). Serum insulin levels (p = 0.044) significantly reduced. Significant improvements were also observed in insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; p = 0.029) and β cell function (HOMA% β; p = 0.008). These results indicate that managing overweight/obesity through BLC-MR formula diet not only accomplishes its primary function of managing weight status, but also supports diabetes management. More studies with larger sample size are required to confirm the results.
