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.

  11. My first visit to your blog and I find a post about my own addiction of choice!! (In fact I just wrote a bit about how PG Tips hooked me in when I was very young…!)

    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…)

  12. i am drinking green tea right this moment!

    :)

  13. Yeşil çayın gerçekten bir sürü faydası var. Kilo vermek için ideal çözüm. Yalnız biraz uykusuzluk yapıyor

  14. i tried my first ever cup yesterday, and i cant stand tea, green tea is better than normal tea, but i still dont like it, but with all the benifits it claims to have why not drink it?

  15. 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?

  16. Great research!

  17. I’ve just started drinking green tea for immunity booting purposes. I was told to use the loose leaf tea, it’s the best quality. Also, I’ve bought the brand that has the browned rice in it and that’s made green tea more palitable.

  18. Thanks for the great article!

  19. 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.

  20. Geen tea also helps keep your breath fresh!

  21. I am drinking “iced green tea” now, sweetened with lemon.

    It totally keeps me slim.

  22. Yes! indeed ! iam taking a cup of green (ten ren) brand now!
    its makes digestion better and feel good sipping it HOT!!!

    Try one!!

  23. i love it i have had all diff kinds of green tea but it gets addictive but who cares if it makes you younger and slimmer then im all for it lolol

  24. I love green tea! This is my first year trying it and I’ve been keeping up with drinking tea every weekday during work. It’s helped me maintain my eating habits and kept me stress free. Not to mention it helps clear my face and its amazing hot with a spoon of honey!

  25. I have been drinking green tea for years now.I like to drink it as a chilled ice tea.

  26. Today I had my first cup. Lipton. Eww, I almost gagged, but with all the benefits I’ll keep drinking it. Is there a certain brand(s) that are healthier for you?

  27. ive had many different green teas. some are repulsing others i find taste awesome.

    as for the clear skin, don’t start drinking it thinking it will clear you forsure. everyone’s skin is different you may find it has no effect depending on the severity.

    but its good and you got nothing to loose :)

  28. I usually drink at least a cup a day of green tea in the morning with some rose buds. I find it really good how it makes such a great starter to my day without feeling bloated.

  29. Just started having green tea few days back,it taste so good,
    could any one tell the healthier brand which can be used for weight loss?

  30. i use to drink green tea once a day preferably after a meal and i think it really helps to maintain a healthy weight coz i was in really good shape before. i stopped drinking it since i got pregnant and had a baby now i gained weight. so i guess it’s time to start with my green tea diet again.

  31. I love green tea! It’s not only delicious, but beneficial.

    I was unaware of these benefits.

    Thanks for the facts!

  32. I just started drinking green tea and also have quit smoking for approximately ten days and I can honestly say, I have been feeling much better than 10 days ago.

  33. I’ve replace my usual cup of cappucino with green tea everyday now and i’m feeling more energetic than ever before. Thanks for the info.

  34. 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 and it is delicious, especially with lemon.

  35. 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. #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

  37. 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!

    Green tea is great, I drink at least a cup a day & have a daily green tea capsule from Holland & Barrett.

  38. 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

  39. In response to #37, hydrogen and oxygen are ELEMENTS not chemicals. Seriously…

  40. thanks for your research we always used a cup of green tea in brekfast lunch and dinner

  41. duuuuude… tea is amazin… benefits are amazin.. just drink it. Nike it and just do it!

  42. There’s only one other thing I drink other than green tea…WATER! I drink green tea all day long and then switch to regular, room temperature water.

  43. 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.

  44. 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!

  45. 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.

  46. 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! :)

  47. YEAHHHH!

  48. I am sitting here drinking my first green tea [diet Snapple].
    I usually do not like tea, but this is not bad and it tastes even better knowing that it is apparently so healthy! I think I feel more energetic and healthy already! [I do not like hot tea at all so I cannot go along with Ethan #47]
    How much green tea should we drink per day?

  49. I just began drinking brewed green tea today in hopes it will help me with the 30 lbs I need to loose. I am also trying to find how much Green Tea to drink a day

  50. Yama Moro yama is my brand of choice

  51. I haven’t been sick at ALL since drinking green tea 3 years ago. I sometimes feel something coming on but then goes right away. Something is DEF working.

  52. just starting on the green tea journey and enjoying it along with exercise.think il try the loose tea with lemon sounds goooood

  53. It’s my favorite…a teaspoon of honey, a packet of stevia, and a splash of nf milk. I stay focused and upbeat even in dreary weather. It’s great for appetite control too.

  54. Warning about milk. It neutralizes some of the benefits of tea and coffee. That may be why the brits, who love milk in their tea, don’t seem to reap the benefits of heavy tea drinking.

  55. I understand everyone is different, but just wondering, if I only drink one cup a day, should I get any of the health benefits?

  56. get Arizona green Tea. I personally think its the best kind. its in almost any store also. really good price and its completely all natural, no artificial colors, no preservatives and no artificial flavor, which most other brands have all of those. good stuff.. i drink them everyday.

  57. im british and i been drinking tea for long time but about two years ago i lost my flat and my vietmanes friend let me stay with him and his family and they should me green tea from asia.. wow! now that is all i drink. i don t drink in a cup i drink in a pint glass with lemon..its the only drink i really drink part from the odd soft drink now and again

    HOLLA!

  60. i have just tried green tea today as i dring way too much fizzy drinks and actually think i could get used to it. also i have 5 stone to lose so anything that may help even a little is worth a try

  61. I have been drinking green tea for about a month now. Not every day but most. I take a mug with me every morning to work. It is amazing how it controls my hunger and gives me energy. I also quit smoking about a month ago. I haven’t felt this good in a long time. Could anyone tell me how much green tea I should drink? I only drink one cup a day.

  62. I have been drinking green tea for more thn 3 yrs and it has changed my life..my face glows,hair shines,acidity problem is solved and my allergic cold is gone..i drink more than 3 cups a day and i buy from http://www.teaxlive.com

  68. pg tips green tea bags are really nice – go get some

  69. drink green tea with blackstrap molasses .

  70. i’ve been drinking green tea for a while now.

  71. There definitely are some benefits to drinking green tea. There’s no clinical data yet that supports the claim for Parkinson’s, but there’s some anecdotal evidence. I drink green tea nonetheless . Thanks for sharing!

  72. After reading that article and all the comments I’m going to have to try it out! I’ve exercised and dieted for years and I know how hard it can be. If green tea is going to be the thing to curb the appetite and raise my metabolism then hey!..may as well drink it! :)

    Thanks for all the great info guys!

  73. Helpful tea.

  74. 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.

  75. “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.

  76. For anyone who doesnt like the taste of green tea, but wants to drink it for it’s health benefits, I recommend buying a flavoured green tea. I bought tetleys blueberry green tea bags the other day and they were was awesome :)

  77. thanks for the info.. i have pimples and i just started drinking green tea this morning when i browsed the net to its benefits..i’ve read it helps to remove skin problems.. jope to see the effects after 1 month..

  78. LIPTONS Green Tea CITRUS is by far the best tas ting. It comes in an economical gallon and is also available in DIET. In reading all these posts, I can’t believe no one has mentioned the most obvious; it keeps you “REGULAR”, like clockwork every morning!

  79. I drink Jackie Chan’s Green Tea. It has 8 times more antioxidants than regular brewed green tea http://www.teatech.com/

  80. Had my first cup of green tea today, tried to have it without sugar (yuck) then added a teaspoon full of sugar (still no help), I didn’t really like the taste but I can deal with it to be a healthier woman! The only real drawback was that I was a bit sick to my stomach after I finished it, we will see what happens with my 2nd cup :)

  81. Since I stopped having green tea, I have been having joints pains and my doctor has referred me out to a Rheumatoid Arthritis specialist. I will resume green tea intake because I now know of its health benefits.

  82. is diet lipton green tea ok?

  83. diet lipton is good to drink but try regular green tea for the most benefits.

    I have hot tea every evening. try Bigelow brand that stuff is awesome. Or chinese brands. Best way to end the day. =)

  84. Love it..Since I start drinking green tea …I never felt better each day.

  85. Great article! I was actually wondering if any one had any advice on what type of Green Tea I should drink. 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? Thanks for you help.

  86. will the green tea pills give you the same benefits as to drinking the green tea

  87. wwww.aestheticthoughts.wordpress.com

    Thank you so much for this definitive list. I made a promise to myself to drink lots of green tea this week! :D

  88. It is also believed to make a woman more fertile.

  89. Green tea is great … try the green tea with Chai flavours in it ( herbs such as cloves, cinnamon etx…) makes it taste yummy.

  90. is tea high in antioxidants or am i making that up anonymous

  91. it is high in antioxidants. That’s why tea is notorious for being the hot drink of choice when someone gets sick.

  92. hi, i take a cup or two of green tea in a day, how much do you recomend in a day.

  93. Actually Green Tea is so bad. If you want to really improve your health, then try eating only fatty foods. I recommend burgers, cheese, and tons of other beef products for the slim and awesome body.

  94. I’m drinking bigelow mint green tea right now:]
    this stuff is the shizzle. it makes me calm. it’s just so delicious!

  95. green tea cold or hot? which is the best??//
    ?

  96. wow……….

  97. I have been using a new company to buy my green teas. they only sell organic products and at cheap prices, especially for organic teas!

    Organic Teas by LeafSpaLeafSpa brand organic tea, organic herbs, and organic spa products – over 200 varieties of USDA certified organic tea products available now.

  98. well am not a tea person however my personal trainer sugested that i drink green tea without any sugar and i must say it taste really good am on day 2 of drinking green tea and i am only drinking one cup a day so ill will keep you all posted i got it from a local grocery store here in canada

  99. 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.

  100. drink green tea twice daily.1 cup in the morning b4 brkfast & 1 aftr dinner it realy workz 2 reduce weight.
    best of luck;)

  101. is it good to drink green tea in the morning with an empty stomach?how many times do i need to drink it to cure my acne problems……helpp!!

  102. Never tried drinking green tea on an empty stomach. You can try eating something light with your tea. Maybe banana or a granola bar if you don’t like eating in the morning. Good Luck!

  103. Excellent article. Thanks for this great research. I certainly can use some lower cholestrol. Thanks again.

  104. 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.

  105. i have just poured a green tea, drank it, then poured another one, then i drank it, then i poured another one, drank it then i turned green.

  106. Will the gel caps work just as well as drinking the tea? Personally, I’m not a big fan of tea, but someone told me it came in pill (capsule) form as well and I just bought some!

  107. 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!

  108. 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!

  109. 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.

  110. im only 21 and diagnosed with soft muscle cancer, it was aggressive and i was going along with treatment. i began to drink green tea every day and improved my diet, my cancer has entered spontaneous remission. my tumour has shrunk by 50% for no apparent reason and im going to be fine. drink green tea everyday. i owe my life to it

  111. I AM A COMPLETE GREEN TEA ADDICT! I LOVE IT! GREEN TEA HAS HELPED ME LOSE WEIGHT AND MY GUT IS SHRINKING FAST! NOT ONLY THAT BUT MY SKIN IS GLOWING AND BEAUTIFUL!

  112. Wow Alex. that was a tad rough to JoIII. But, be that as it may, I agree with you about green tea being a great step for people looking to have a healthier life…. I cant honestly say that it has had any effect on my weight over the years though I no longer suffer from colitis and my skin is ultra clear and glowing…fwiw

  113. 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.

  114. I am drinking Lipton Green Tea and usually took one or two cups daily but i made Tea from Tea Bags. Is making green tea from Tea Bags is beneficial or Not?

  115. Trader Joe’s Blueberry Green Tea!

    Boil water, add about 4 tea bags, pour into a large pitcher, add Agave Nectar (natural sweetner), a little lemon and let it cool in the fridge. It’s thee most delicious, lemonade/iced tea there is and you’ll be drinking it like crazy!

  116. I never knew how many benefits green tea has! It makes skin clear & gets rid of cellulite (for women) easy remedy! Prevents Cancer? wow its great and it tastes great

  117. I love it!

  118. I haven’t tried it yet, but with those benefits it sounds like I should.

  119. I’ve been working out for a month and a half now. Tried drinking green tea for 1 week. I sweat 3 times more than before with the same intensity of exercise. My weight loss doubled in that week. Green Tea will really boost your metabolism. So if you have a choice of what to drink . . . why not take green tea instead!

  120. i am using green for about one week but i didn,t searched about the benefits of green tea,after reading this article i realised that it is amazing.i just want to say that those people who are asking that how many cups they should drink i think it is better that drink it 3 timeS a day and it,s better to use green tea leaves instead of using tea bags.
    thanks for this article and thanks to all those who shared their comments.

  121. 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?

  122. 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.

  123. I love green tea and love reading about all the health benefits. A friend of mine gave me a huge bag of green tea which I keep in my desk and just realized I need to drink it a least 3 times a day which I will. Happy tea totaler!

  124. right this very moment, i have my pitcher of Green tea in my hands. I have many skin problems and i am banking that drinking Green tea would help me to have a clear skin.

  125. Acabo de tomar mi primera taza de green tea and I like it! so, voy a seguir tomandolo to see if I can loose at least 10 libras.

  126. Im having a big mug of green ta in ma hand right now. lol! Im hoping to shed some weight. my gandmom advice me to drink as much green tea as possible every night.. hmmmm will let you guys know when green tea does its magic to me :) hehehe fingers crossed.

    peace!

  127. hey people is it necessary to drink green tea HOT??? reply =(

  128. i am drinking green tea as i am reading this article Lol!!!

  129. 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….

  130. 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…

  131. Try honey, definitely tastes better than the sugar.

  132. 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!

  133. 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

  134. 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. 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.

  136. I try to drink atleast 2 cups of Lipton Green Tea everyday! I was a bit skeptical at first but i have seen changes in my weight and health since then!

  137. Drinking green tea with lemon or lime in it is even more helpful.
    In despite people’s opinion lemon and lime are alkaline not acidic.
    The famous master cleansing suggests it even for ulcer.

  138. very beneficial.

  139. Green Tea is so Amazing that it…

  141. yes you should drink it hot as cold tea is not usefull

  142. Ive Been Drinking Green Tea All Day!!!!! WEEEOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  143. I am in remission from colitis. I tried everything finally started drinking green tea daily 2-3 cups a day and I am in remission over a year now and I feel great. 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.

  144. Thank you very much for your attention to my article.

  146. I ‘ve been taking Green Tea Tablets 225 mg for 3 days now does this have the same benefits as the drink? I do feel less hungry and have more energy.

  147. I have been drinking green tea 1 -2 cups a day for almost three years now.. In all honesty I have not noticed any of these so called benefits. My skin is not any clearer, I have not lost any weight and my breath certainly is not any less smelly when I wake up. I drink it because I enjoy the flavor.

  148. Wow, It made him speak in Turkish!

  149. i just love tea in general. seems to me an english thing, and coffee, an american thing. drinking a cup of tea is wonderful, as my late grandma showed me. but please, no sugar and/or cream. runis the taste, man!

  150. That is good to know. I\’ve had skin problems for too long. Thanks

  151. Always prefer Organic Green Tea it has 300% more benifits compare to regular green tea.

  152. Just started drinking green tea and GF always adds a little fruit slices to it.

  153. Love green tea. Dont know about the benefits but cant wait to find out!Gotta have lemon in it and gotta have it ice cold. Can’t stomach it hot.HAVE STOPPED DRINKIING COFFEE!!!!!!! I was a 4 cup a day coffee drinker. Cream and sugar can pack on the pounds. No more. Its green tea for me all the way!!!

  154. I am glad

  155. HOW! I NEEEEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT~!!!!!!!! HOW~!!!!!!!!!!!

  156. Hi, can we have a chat? cause i am doing a project on benefits of green tea and we are finding some real life testimonials . (: do contact me at dolly_jia_wen@hotmail.com

  157. eating healthier and exercising will probably work better than drinking tea

  158. also, green tea helps reduce pimples.

  159. 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.

  166. I presently take coumadin – 22.5 to 25 mg daily. I do believe that my medicine to control epilepsy contributes to the large daily dose of coumadine required to control or prevent deep vein thrombosis (clotting). Someone mentioned the benefits of green tea in preventing thrombosis (blood clots). Is this true? If so, my level of coumadine could possibly be lowered by drinking the green tea. I have read pros and cons on the benefits of hot tea vs. cold tea (supposedly non beneficial). Which is best? I am an ice tea drinker /:.) ! A recent change of medication – Keppra seemed to cause weight gain. Finally, is there a recommended amount to drink? Does sweetner hinder?

  176. great article, my mom last weeks liked green tea and I am very happy, she is 58 years old and I think she need to drink green tea to strong immune system and for better health

  177. The environmental technology engineering firm I work for does a large amount of business China (for obvious reasons!) and the green teas many of our clients bring as gifts and our employees bring back are extremely good! The varieties are extraordinary.

  178. you recommend fatty foods like burgers? what is your problem? Either you’re a complete moron or you’re just being sarcastic. Either way, your comment is bogus and unappreciated and unnecessary…you come across as a stupid dork.

  179. Took three cups of green tea last night with honey and i feel as alright as rain.

  180. I drink Bigelow green Tea with lemon atleast 3-4 times a day. Its reall good and refreshing. I dont add sugar just the hot water and Tea Bag.

  183. Hi,

    I used to have lots of tummy trouble (acid and pain after eating, etc). I stopped drinking espresso + milk in the morning and switched to green tea. Tummy problems gone, and I am losing weight and finding my beauty again. It helps one to eat as little as is healthily possible (that is the real reason for the weight loss, I’m sure). But I noticed that the weight loss really started happening with more intensity after I started drinking the green tea. I drink at least a liter or more a day. good luck!

  184. Green tea is a healthy beverage, but I am worried about its quality, if it is not so clean, the pesticide and other pollution may cause harm to the health. Therefore, we need to drink the early spring tea.

  185. How about the butter tea in Tibet? Is it good to health? Anyone knows…

  186. In Pakistan people are addicted of tea but there are only a few who are aware of the miracles of green tea. People show resistance to switch from normal to green tea but after knowing the magics of green tea one must think to add it his life.
    AICR’s most recent international conference unveiled new findings on the cancer-fighting power of green tea. Research now shows that a major component in green tea may short-circuit the cancer process more extensively than scientists had realized.

  187. Wow!! This is great information! Will green tea help get rid of the pimples on my genitals, or does it only benefit the pimples covering my face?
