10 Great Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

There has been much talk recently about the health benefits of green tea.

I’ve researched and discovered some sources about losing weight, diets and obesity. I used many medicines which are completely made up of chemicals. At the end, I turned back to the traditional treatment since I thought that those chemicals damage my liver. During my researches I discovered the benefits of green tea. Please do not confuse green tea with black tea which everyone drinks daily.

Ancient Chinese people knew the benefits of green tea for health. They have always used it for medical purposes. However, in Ancient China, it was used especially against the headaches and depression. Green tea has a great importance in China history. It is produced from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis by some special processes. Unlike black tea, it has little amount of caffeine which causes to insomnia, nausea and frequent urination.

This is the list of benefits of green tea which I’ve found during my research.

  1. It is used to treat multiple sclerosis.
  2. It is used for treatment and prevention of cancer.
  3. It is used to stop Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
  4. It is used to raise the metabolism and increase fat oxidation.
  5. It reduces the risk of heart diseases and heart attacks by reducing the risk of trombosis.
  6. It reduces the risk of esophageal cancer.
  7. Drinking green tea inhibits the growth of certain cancer cells, reduces the level of cholesterol in blood, improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol.
  8. It is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular diseases
  9. It is used to treat impaired immune function. .
  10. Some researches show that, drinking green tea regularly may help prevent tooth decay by killing the bacteria which causes the dental plaque.

    It’s true, isn’t it? All these chemical compounds are to be avoided – we really do not know their very complex effects/damage. (Ok, we’ll allow aspirin…)

    Is there a specific brand the might be better then others?? I really need to lose about 15 pounds and have major stomach and digestive problems. Most of the weight that I get is water retention. The bloating is uncomfortable and painful. Please tell me that Green Tea really is a good remedy. I have started drinking it at work and the brand I think is celestial…Thanks for some input?

    Green tea can even help prevent tooth decay! Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque. Meanwhile, skin preparations containing green tea – from deodorants to creams – are starting to appear on the market.

    I started drinking green tea this week as I started a new diet to lose some weight. I am amazed how the green tea has helped, I am not hungry at all, I don’t get starved feeling between meals. I have been trying to drink a cup of hot green tea with honey before every meal and its working! Can’t wait for the other benefits of green tea to kick in!

  36. Christene LeDoux | Nov 23, 2008 | Reply

    #15? You asked about digestion/bloat/water retention etc…

    Try going raw in your eating habits, adding green tea but also slippery elm root (comes naturally in powder for sprinkling or teas). I have found this combination essentially eliminates my boat and digestion issues. It takes getting used to eating raw and at first, may actually bloat you a little. But once you continue this eating and get used to it, that subsides and the benefits are endless! Adding green tea (instead of coffee) is a way for x-coffee drinkers (like me!) to get their caffeine fix. Only better, you get in a more natural form and get the green tea benefits, which as you read here are endless. As for the green tea and face issues, I haven\’t had acne etc.. for years. I did develop it since using green tea but it could be it\’s clearing the toxins and will subside. Haven\’t been drinking green tea long enough, so we\’ll see. Will try to report back! Good luck all and best wishes! warmest, Christene LeDoux

    Everything is ‘completely made up of chemicals’; a well known example is pure water: H20. Seriously, everything is composed of chemicals even the purest substances!

    Thank you for your research and great info. I have drank green tea occasionally but will now have it on a daily basis.

    In response to #15…I too have digestive issues with IBS and GERD and I have been changing my diet for over a month now. I am properly combining my food and the symptoms are decreasing…no bloating, gas or indigestion. For more info on this way of eating visit GreatTasteNoPain.com There’s no limit as to what you eat but when and how you combine the food. Great information and help!! FYI

    green tea is beneficial but everyone’s body is different, you may not get all the benefits. Try other teas as well for what ails you. If green tea doesn’t help you lose weight then you may have other issues like hypothyroidism or an anxiety disorder. In the latter, chamomille and valerian may help you lose weight more effectively because they’ll reduce your stress. Try many teas for three weeks at a time and see if you notice a difference. Our bodies react immediately when the right tea or herb is administered.

    Yes great article! I’ve been drinking green tea for awhile now. Great stuff! I love it with some honey although I’ve been trying to cut down on the amount I put in. I think this is my new “coffee drink”, I stopped drinking coffee altogether and now just drink tea, juice, soy milk and water. I’ve always been interested in the benefits so thanks again for posting this!

    I work with a Vietnamese man at work and he bought me a big box of green tea (100 tea bags) from an oriental store. He said to drink it very hot morning, lunch time, and dinner time. He said it will help you to lose and maintain weight. I’ve been using it for 1 week now and have lost 4 pounds. I’m reading that it helps treat rheumatoid arthritis. I have RA, so I will see how I feel with continued consumption.

    green tea is great! i used to have 4-5 coffees a day, now i only have 1 coffee when i wake up, then during the day have atleast 3 cups of green tea, starting to build up to 4-5 a day though, im from sydney so a good honest brand to buy here is called T2, its great! google it! (www.t2tea.com.au)
    I would seriously stear away from major commercial brands like lipton or twinnings as they make ewww tasting green teas, AND dont waste time with tea bags, they are junk, loose tea is the better way for having tea, and use warm/hot water just before boiling point, about 60-70 degrees is the proper way.
    Drink up, green tea is absolutely fantastic! :)

    I drink 2 or 3 cups every day. It’s also good cold with ice in a tall glass with either a lime or lemon squeezed into it. You might want to add sugar unless you are brave like me, but this is very refreshing in the summer.

    “I found that green tea can be a bit bitter but if you wait till the water has cooled a little before adding the tea , the bitterness disappears”

    Because green tea has a lighter flavour it is easier to taste that the tea leaves have been burned. Hence the bitterness. You should always let boiled water cool for a few minutes before adding to any tea bag or tea leaves.

    As for brands for green tea, for plain green in a bag, Stash is quite honestly the best. It seems to be available in most grocery stores now and you can purchase online (http://www.stashtea.com). Now if you want the benefits of Green Tea but don’t like the taste I would recommend the Tetley. They have an Earl Grey Green Tea that tastes just like regular Earl Grey and their Mint Green Tea is quite pleasant.

    Of course overall I’m partial to purchasing loose leaf from my local tea shops.

I’m 22 years old and my mother died of cancer at a very young age so I especially like the cancer prevention in the Green Tea. I don’t have much money to order a special kind and I actually prefer the cold/iced green tea. Can anyone suggest a good cold green tea that I could find at a local grocery store? Right now I’m drinking Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey, is that a good one? Do I get the same results with a cold green tea or is more benefical to drink a hot freshly brewed tea?

    I love my green tea warm not hot. Wait for at least 10 minutes for the tea to cool down and the warmness is just right. I use Japanese Green Tea – Sencha. It’s bittersweet, lightly flavored. Add a hint of honey if preferred. Its wonderful to drink it in the morning. I’m 27 years old and I’ve been drinking this for 8 years now. People still think I’m 20 years old or younger. Keeps your skin glowing and maybe looking younger (as for me). Love it. Happy Tea Time! Enjoy.

    The BEST Green Tea drink ever:

    purchase flavored green tea such as jasmin, orange, or other fruity green teas. Allow tea bag to soak in a cup of hot water for several minutes- get tea to get nice and strong.

    Pour tea over ice, then add about 1/4 cup limade.

    Peet coffee sells Lime/Jasmin Green Tea…..it is fantastic.

    I have recently started drinking green tea everyday about 10 cups per day. I began to see remarkable results about one week in. I am bipolar and always have a lot of stress. I was a drinker who drank every day atleast 7 alcoholic beverages per day. I also had an uncontrollable appetite. I have seen my mood stabilize and my desire to drink diminish greatly. I have gone without a drink for an entire week at a time. I am able to handle stress better and control my diet much better. I currently consume about 10 to 15 servings of green tea per day in addition to other forms of tea also. It has been a miracle drink for me!

    Thanks for your research, my swim instructor told me to drink atleast 4 to five cups daily, its great for losing weight. My Aunt lost a bunch of weight just from drinking Green Tea. What does it take for me to lose the pounds. I work out, on the Alli Diet and now Drinking Green Tea. 25 pounds to and I should be fine.

    Hope this does the trick!

    Not to be harsh and insensitive, but we don’t have to be in fear over cancer. What we fear will come upon us. If we are scared we are going to get sick, what happens? We get sick. What’s the first thing we say?, ‘I just knew I would get sick.’ That ought not be. In God’s Word we see that we can have faith in His promises. Just like fear opens the door for those unwanted things to happen to us, faith opens the door for God to bring the things we do want to happen to us. That door to the promises of God is Jesus. Either way, I appreciate the article and hope this truth helps someone, and the green tea article above was helpful. Thank you.

    If you really want the benefits of green tea dont drink either flavored or tea bags, it has much less antioxidants and catchins than the original non-flavored tea. Research it if you dont believe it. A more beneficial tea is White Tea.

    Green tea has become the latest weapon in the war on weight. Oprah is a recent enthusiast, vowing that she’d trade her coffee for green tea when Dr. Nicholas Perricone told her she could lose weight simply by making this substitution. But does it really work?

    I work hard outside and used to chew tobacco when I was younger. Now I buy a higher grade Osphrey Gunpowder green tea and place it under the lip just like snuff during the day. I enjoy it this way better than drinking it. Just wandered if anyone else has tried this method.

    PS Gives a better breath, solves energy and depression, makes skin clearer and less wrinkled, helps in digestion I attest, assuming I’m gettin other benefits also.

    Well to answer some of the questons here:

    You can have as much green tea as you want….there are no side effects or any issue with drinking lots of green tea……For added benefits , add honey and pure lemon juice to your glass…and to clear some misconceptions….you GOTTO exercise as well to lose weight…..Green tea alone will not do it for you….but it surely surely helps….

    When I started my diet back in October of last year, first I cut out all my soft drinks and switched to sports drinks. And took fast walks during my lunch breaks instead of just sitting around.

    Not MUCH better, but a little and I never liked Diet Soda so that wasn’t an option. That helped for a while, but then I plateaued at a certain weight, still wanting to lose more (healthy weight loss goal, I’m not being ridiculuos here.)

    Then I decided to switch to just water. Kept the walking (though I do more now in less time because I’m getting faster). That worked a lot better weight wise but I felt SO tired. And my insomnia that I hadn’t had for years was coming back. (WTF? I’m having less caffiene and I’m exhausted but I can’t sleep?! Makes no sense.)

    Now I drink Green Tea (my favorite is Green Tea with Passion Fruit, but I’m drinking today Green Tea with Chai (still decaf), a splash of milk (2%, switched from whole but anything lower tastes gross to me) and honey (dissolves better than sugar and I can’t have aspartame, so….)) and I wake myself up an hour earlier to do (gentle) stretches. Then I have a green tea (which I’m brewing during the stretches), brush my teeth then get ready for work. It has DEFINITELY helped my appetite. I still grab a granola bar before lunch but small, frequent meals are better than big heavy ones. It is strange how the Tea both wakes me up when I drink it in the morning and helps me sleep through the night when I drink it before bed. Weird.

    But very cool.

    And I’ve now lost 23 pounds. I passed my goal by 3 lbs and I’m still losing, average out to about 1 and a half pounds a week. It’s slow progress, but definitely better for me than being impatient, I’m sure. Now I tell people I’m still on a diet (to maintain my wieght, I worked hard to get that weight off I don’t want it back, thank you very much) and they say I don’t need to be. ^_^ Way better than when people asked when my baby was going to be due… ugh…

    I notice many of you commenting about the taste. I don’t really like the taste but don’t want to add any calories/fat by adding sugar, etc. This is my trick…I fix my tea (from tea bags) before I go for my walk, put it in the freezer so it will cool, and then down the tea when I get home. I drink it fast so I don’t have to really taste it but am still getting the benefits!

    don’t forget that green tea has caffeine in it – more so than coffee apparently, especially tea bags, but if you take the caffeine free tea bags – you are getting less than a third of the benefit of teh antioxidants

    i have green tea and ginseng that has raspberry juice to flavour – very nice :)

    it does seem to give me a bad tummy in the morning though

    i have lost weight since starting to drink it but i have also changed my diet and exercise a lot too

    I read an article that said drinking decaf did not decrease the health benefits. I do not like to drink too much caffeine so I drink decaf green tea. I drink about 32 oz. a day. I love it!!! I recently lost 20 lbs by increasing my exercise and going on a low carb diet. I wanted to take the summer off of dieting but was scared I would gain my weight back. I added green tea to my diet and exercised the same amount and I have maintained my weight loss. (even after days of eating DQ ice cream and Cici’s pizza buffet!!) So…it really has not helped me lose more weight but it has helped me maintain what I have lost without depriving myself of the foods I like once in awhile!! I want to lose 5-10 more pounds so this fall I am going to go on my low carb diet again and I can’t wait to see if it comes off faster with green tea then it did without!! I also notice I have been much more regular!!

  135. Lori | Jul 20, 2009 | Reply

    ok, upon further reading, it does appear that the decaf process takes away some of the health benefits however you can up your intake of decaf to get the full benefits as regular. I may switch to regular and see how I do.

Green tea is the best I get from starbucks unsweetened no water so it is stronger because they dilute w water and 1 splenda. The other green tea I suggest is fresh and easy brand its dark and no sugar you get more of the benefits when its darker.

    I almost certain that green tea is just as beneficial cold as it is hot. I don’t see how a change in temperature would affect the benefits. Indeed, matcha green tea is a powered form and many people add cold water to the matcha and then whisk it up. Dr. Andrew Weil is a big proponent of drinking green tea this way. In any case, I live in Texas and it’s too hot to drink green tea hot in the summer. I’ve been drinking about 32 oz everyday (and running my normal 3 miles) and I’ve shed 6 pounds in 3 weeks without even trying. I eat whatever I want and often have second servings. However, I only eat out once a week and I only drink alcoholic beverages on the weekends. But I honestly believe the green tea has helped me in major ways. I would say that half of my weight loss is from it.

    I don’t think people who drink Lipton or Arizona or Snapple ‘green tea’ really reap the rewards from it. It’s nasty tasting too – just artificially sweetened water with a hint of green tea taste. My good friend is Japanese, and she is horrified when someone attempts to sweeten their green tea. And don’t even think about putting creamer in it haha! In my opinion, the best green tea is the loose kind where you can literally smell the freshness. I usually by mine from a Japanese market because I’m kind of a green tea snob. So what?! Those folks know their tea lol! The green tea doesn’t need to be top of the line – just make sure you brew it at home.

    I tried a cup Lipton green tea and really didn’tx like it. I usually love that brand but not the green tea. Anyway, I added a packet of Splenda and it was more tolerable. I did find another brand Bigelow Green Tea with Lemon. I drank that last night with no splenda and it tasted pretty good so that is what I will stick with. Anyway, just like a lot of things, you have to acquire a taste for it if you are not used to it. Different people have different ideas on how to make it go down. The best of course is to find a way without added sugar, aspartamine etc.

    yea, thanks for your research. but to what extent does it really affect you? chinese medicine 99 percent of the time only does good things to your body. It is rarely as effeective as eastern drug though. However, in china, there is a category called “bao jian pin”. These are even more ineffective “helpers” that help support your body. green tea can be categorized as a “bao jian pin”. so maybe it helps a little, but i think that it has very limited effects. ty for info though!!!

    Green tea may be a good solution for losing weight..

    But I have another good solution, Hoodia Gordonii plant..

    I am reading these comments and I think it is important for people to know that the ONLY way to recieve any benefits of green tea is to buy loose tea leaves and a filter and BREW IT YOURSELF!!!!! Tea bags, no matter the brand, have no health benefits. If you feel they do I am sorry to say it is all in your head! You absolutely must brew it…a filter at Teavana is not expensive considering it will last forever…wholefoods mart sells loose leaf green Rishi tea for around 8 dollars…you must drink about 4-8 cups a day everyday for any benefits..the tea should be hot tea about 175 degrees… iced tea doesnt have as many benefits..two tablespoons of leaves can be used to brew different cups of tea all day because they are organic and potent. I hope people read this and take my word before spending their next 10 years drinking 1 cup or more of a tea bag tea every day!!!

    Green Tea is fabulous, I drink one Gree tea in the morning with breakfast, great for digestion, Def helps with rejuvination of the skin, u can drink it through out the day, With and after meals is the best. the best green tea i have came across is called ‘CLIPPER’ pure green tea, its great, u wont get the bitterness even if u over brew! also green tea is fabulous for gaining a flatter stomach combined with lower carbs, i also found foods with green tea extracts help u to lose inches… gareenteed i tested this for 5 weeks, i dropped 9kg of stubborn weight. and lost almost two dress sizes, :D

    Hi everyone… I came across this website and wanted to share my experience with green tea….I’m 28 and was diagnosed with what they call stage 0 cervical cancer…. I immediately started looking up how I could help with the treatment along with seeing an oncologist…..so after my gyn broke the news to me I had 8 weeks till my oncology appt…. I began drinking green tea four times a day after reading all the benefits….my results just came back from my oncologist and my cancer went from stage 0 to cin 2 which if u are familiar is a huge regression…..even the doctor was shocked…. They couldn’t believe how much my cervix had changed since the first time they noticed my cancer on a routine pap smear…. Call me crazy all u want but I am a firm believer in green tea and it’s benefits….. I will never go a day without it

    I lived in the Ukraine for 3 months (Airline pilot job contract). Tea is a staple and green was my daily fav. On a daily average I drank between 4-6 cups of green tea a day with a little bit of cream (not milk or half&half). Eating less (almost half of what I did in the US) + walking no more than 20 mins a day…..I lost 30lbs.!!!…………………………….Wait…heres the true reason.
    In the Ukraine there is no such thing as fast food…the only fast food in the entire country is McDonalds and they a far and few. I lived in Kiev and the closest MD’s was 35mins aways..NO SUCH THING AS KFC, Taco Bell, Carls/Hardies, El pollo Loco, Pizza Hut, Pollo Tropical, 5 Guys, In and Out, etc…
    When you go out to eat expect your meal to take no less then 20 mins to get to you, fresh and natural.

    So super long story short, I lost 30 lbs living & eating the way they do. I came back to the US and im ashamed and embarrassed to say i gained it all back in 2 months living the US dream and lifestyle.

    Im going to try and lose it again and try my hardest to do what I did in the Ukraine…all I need is discipline and a good prayer

    I’d try drinking Premium Green Tea or a Chinese Brand with a little bit of sweetener in it (if you’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth). Lipton kind of does taste gross depending on what you put in it. Sometimes mixing in some honey helps to make it taste better. I actually lost 20 pounds when I started drinking green tea (last year) over a span of two months. I used to weigh 152 lbs at the height of 5′4, which by the way is not THAT fat, but it’s pretty damned chubby. It sucked majorly since I was in school and such, but yes, it does help you slim down and my doctors have noticed my bad cholesterol levels have started to decrease. :)

    At first, I did not like the taste and I could not get off black tea. Now? I love Lipton Green Tea. I have at least five cups a day, plain or with honey. I notice my skin is clearer and I am not actually losing a bit of weight. I feel really great!

    Yes, and my cholesterol level lowered. Please if you are not drinking green tea, try somet now. Like I said, at the beginning, it won’t taste so good. When you have acquired a taste for green tea, you will be glad. I sampled the many brands and flavors that are on the market, until I found one that satisfied my taste buds. Ahhh, there is nothing like a nice warm cup of green tea. I cannot go without my green tea. I love drinking the pure green tea, instead of the decaf. I think you would benefit from the real stuff. Thank you for your time and please enjoy a cup of pure green tea, you will be glad you did. Shop around, until you find what you like. Love that green tea!!

    Hello to all from Turkiye (Turkey),

    Firstly note that I am a heart attack survivor, I have had an heart attack early 2010..

    Green tea is very helpfull, I am 6 foot tall and had a weight problem, I started to drink Green Tea, increased my daily consumption of food from 1 times a day to 6 times a day (eating everything and anything Halal but trying to stay below 2200 calories) and with the help of 30 minutes walk a day (semi-fast, breaking a sweat), 2 times a week light/medium weight training have dropped from 250 pounds to 190 pounds in 4 months, with lowering of cholesterol.

    I consume around 3 to 8 cups of bagged Green Tea daily, usually local Turkish brands like Caykur, Dogadan and Dogus, depending on which supermarket I go shopping to and whats available in store. I’m not much concerned about the taste, infact I grew to like the bitter taste and dont use any other substance for flavoring or sweeting it.

    Besides weight loss I found the usage of multivitamins with Ginseng G115, a better diet and the low-stress activity (walking+light weight training) to increase my stamina, mental and physical durability & concentration.

    I feel healthier overall.

    Thanks to Allah for the benefits of nature and what nature naturally provides for us.

    Best Wishes to all.

    You’re a zillion times better off to drink green tea then a soft drink if you’re looking for a caffeine fix. There are many nutrients you get from drinking green tea over a pop/soda. Loose tea is the best way to get those nutrients into your system, where as that pre bottled (usually from the pop/soda brands) green tea with lemon flavor… not so much. Drinking green tea over a high fructose drink alternative will have HUGE health benefits, you’re not ingesting all those nasty simple sugars that your body can’t process properly (it’s already been processed).

    You may or may not directly see the benefits of green tea but at the end of the day you’re doing your body better by not drinking all the crap that put into most bottled drinks.

    Although it is nice to think that there are so many benefits from one beverage, if you research properly, say by looking at the mayo clinic website you will see that for a lot of the benefits you have included, there are still no conclusive evidence that supports these claims and more research is needed to back these up.

    To get the full benefits of green tea, buy organic loose leaf green tea from a tea shop in your area (bags are blah). Steep it yourself for 2 or 3 minutes in not-quite boiling water, and enjoy. Drinking it with a bunch of sugar in it like coffee will only destroy the health benefits.

    I used to drink green tea here and there but after I learned it’s benefits, I made it my new years resolution to basically binge on it. I have 5 or more cups a day and I two weeks I slimmed down immensely and my skin is healthier than ever. I’ve had more energy at work and it’s made me a happier person overall. In fact, I’m drinking a mug of it right now.

    Also, KAYLA:

    You can put honey it but never milk, milk basically cancels out everything in it. My family are organic gurus, so you have a good statement right here.

    There are plenty of other teas, white and black are super good too, and there are so many other flavors added to just green tea, some have hints of mint, orange, lemon, decaf and so much more.

    A friend of mine who happens to be a renowned natural medicine practitioner in my city, recommended switching from normal black tea to Green tea to erase my stomach problems that I experienced for many years (I am lactose intolerant). He also recommended eliminating the three W’s, i.e. white sugar, white milk and white flour from my diet.

    Since drinking 3 cups a day of green day for about two months, I have reaped health benefits that have been significant enough for my family and friends to notice.

    I have lost body fat, whilst retaining lean muscle. My complexion seems a lot healthier, my hair quality is better and I feel a lot more energetic.

    As few people have already rightfully pointed out, in order to reap the health benefits of Green Tea, loose leaves must be used and NOT tea bags (as used by Lipton, Tetleys, Twinnings).

    Organic loose Green tea is the best and well worth it! Avoid using sugar at all, instead add organic honey with Black Seed (another miracle herb) and a hint of lemon for easing digestive problems.

    Black seed has been scientifically proven to demonstrate strong anti-bacterial, antioxident, anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties which support its claims to be of medicinal value for various ailments. There was also interesting studies carried out which found that black cumin had inhibitory effects on carcagins and was also helpful for fighting tumours.

    You can try your local Asian store, otherwise, there are a number of sites that sell Organic Green Tea.

    The ancient Chinese actually used tea as a medicinal herb even before it was enjoyed as a beverage.

    And, today scientific research has continued unabated into the wonders and health benefits of green tea. It seems that these benefits are so broadly conferred on many parts and aspects of the human body. Much of the researches and studies have been concentrated on the catechins polyphenols mainly the epigallocatechin gallate (egcg).

    Although I have been drinking green tea for several years now, it was only recently that I began to read these scientific reports on the benefits of green tea which caused me to have a deeper appreciation of this wonderful beverage.

    For example, on green tea and cancer, I read how ecgc in green tea restricts the mobility of malignant cells thus inhibiting metastasis (the spreading of cancer beyond its original localized area). Another is aiding in apoptosis of cancerous cells (ie. causing it to commit suicide).

    Experiments are still being carried out by scientists and probably in the near future we will see the polyphenols in green tea especially ecgc in the formulation of medication in the treatment of various diseases.

    Many of the health benefits of tea come from EGCG, which is an extremely powerful natural antioxidant. Antioxidants work to rid your body of harmful free radicals, which can damage the cells in your body, reducing your lifespan and causing other illnesses like cancer. Free radicals are responsible for many of the effects of aging, and the aging process can therefore be slowed down by EGCG and tea. The EGCG in your tea can also help speed up your metabolism, giving you a better sense of well being and making it easier for you to lose weight and remain healthy over time.

    The wonder cup just got even more wonderful. Green tea, rich in antioxidant treasures that protect against heart disease and cancer, now shows promise as an allergy fighter.

Green tea may be useful against a wide range of sneeze-starting allergens, including pollen, pet dander, and dust.

    Great article. Amazing Radamel! 1st comment was on Mar 2008, and comments are still coming after 3 years. This proves green tea is a solution to most health issues mentioned on your article.

    I just had a cup of Lipton Green Tea with Mint, but will definitely look out for those loose ones to get maximum benefits. I was convincing my husband to get on the Green Tea practice for a healthier life since he is overweight and a smoker. Inshalla, this can help me get thru my skin problems, stress and conceiving. I wish to hear from those who commented before and their results from drinking green tea. Hope those who can’t give appropriate comments are avoided. Love how they are ignored though!

    Will surely update u guys on our results. God luck and God bless u all!

    I just started drinking green tea. I did it because I am observing Lent this year nd I gave up everything I drink except for water nd tea. So I had decided to drink less black tea nd start to drink green tea. Since I started drinking it nd I get lipton green iced tea w/citrus I have lost 20 pounds in like 3 weeks. My skin has been a lot clearer too. But I think that’s cause of da green tea nd no pop or juice. I plan on drinking green tea everyday for da rest of my life now.
