Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more active and independent than their peers
over time,according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people．
Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals that may help ward off the cell damage that can lead to
disease．Researchers have been studying green tea's effect on everything from cholesterol(胆固醇)to
the risk of certain cancers,with mixed results so far．
For the new Japanese study,researchers decided to examine the question of whether green tea
drinkers have a lower risk of frailty and disability as they grow older．
Tomata and his colleagues followed nearly 14,000 adults aged 65 or older for three years．
They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop "functional disability",
or problems with daily activities or basic needs,such as dressing or bathing．
Specifically,almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became
functionally disabled,compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups a day．
The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people active as they grew older．
Green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets,including more fish,vegetables and fruit,as well as more
education．lower smoking rates,fewer heart attacks and strokes,and greater mental sharpness．
They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on．
Although it's not clear how green tea might offer a buffer(缓冲剂)against disability,Tomata's team
did note that one recent study found green tea extracts(提炼物)seem to increase leg muscle strength
in older women．
While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts,they do contain caffeine and
small amounts of vitamin K,which means it could block drugs that prevent blood thickened．

| World' s Amazing Festivals El Colacho: The Baby-Jumping Festival In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents' permission. Wearing scary costumes, the Spanish men attempt to "clean" babies of evil. The town has observed the strange practice since 1620, and any onlookers (旁观者) who seem to be in need of a quick exorcism(~) are pulled into the event, as well. Hadakamatsuri : The Naked (裸露的) Festival This is a Japanese festival where participants wear little clothing. Naked Festivals are held in dozens of places throughout Japan every year, usually in summer or winter. Hidden somewhere in these men is one fully naked man. Touching him is believed to bring good luck. The Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival Every year, about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast in Thailand. It is held in honour Rama, the greatest of the gods. It is said that Rama once rewarded his friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Bullet use more than 3,000kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the festival. The Cheese Rolling Festival This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, cheese-rolling is actually very dangerous. Running down a very steep hill behind a 7-pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily. So what happens during a cheese roll? Simple: The cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. The first to reach the bottom wins the cheese.
