10 Great Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

by Rodallega, Mar 16, 2008

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.

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...)

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 by chloe, Aug 22, 2008
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 by eddiego65, Aug 24, 2008
Great research!
#17 by New Drinker, Aug 24, 2008

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 by Daniel Canfield, Aug 27, 2008
Thanks for the great article!
#19 by bully, Aug 29, 2008
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.

#24 by Melody, Sep 11, 2008
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 by Bunny, Sep 12, 2008
I have been drinking green tea for years now.I like to drink it as a chilled ice tea.
#26 by Kierra, Oct 20, 2008
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 by gt, Oct 21, 2008
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 by yolanda, Oct 22, 2008
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 by rame, Oct 22, 2008
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 by burnz, Oct 29, 2008
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 by Kelly Whisman, Nov 4, 2008
I love green tea! It's not only delicious, but beneficial.

I was unaware of these benefits.

Thanks for the facts!
#32 by Louie H, Nov 7, 2008
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 by Suzanna, Nov 7, 2008
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 by sophilicious, Nov 12, 2008
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 by Venus, Nov 18, 2008
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 by Christene LeDoux, Nov 23, 2008
#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!

Green tea is great, I drink at least a cup a day & have a daily green tea capsule from Holland & Barrett.
#38 by jkn, Dec 5, 2008
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

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

#42 by Nat, Dec 22, 2008
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 by dudicus.maximus, Dec 23, 2008
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 by Julie, Dec 24, 2008
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 by Paula, Dec 30, 2008
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 by Ethan, Dec 31, 2008
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 by Ethan, Dec 31, 2008
YEAHHHH!
#48 by Karen, Jan 5, 2009
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?

#53 by jasminegreenteagirl, Jan 9, 2009
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 by greenteadrinker3, Jan 11, 2009
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 by Lisa, Jan 13, 2009
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 by ammo, Jan 14, 2009
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.

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.

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 by Michelle, Mar 1, 2009
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 by Juancav, Mar 1, 2009
Helpful tea.
#74 by  poddys, Mar 2, 2009
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 by hypatia, Mar 4, 2009
"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 by Noelle, Mar 6, 2009
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 by thelma, Mar 15, 2009

#78 by MikesterSTLMO, Mar 15, 2009
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 by Kruelgor, Mar 24, 2009
I drink Jackie Chan's Green Tea. It has 8 times more antioxidants than regular brewed green tea http://www.teatech.com/
#80 by Shaynkids, Mar 28, 2009
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 by Green Tea Is great, Mar 29, 2009
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 by , Apr 1, 2009
is diet lipton green tea ok?
#83 by Alex, Apr 1, 2009
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 by Mr. barber, Apr 7, 2009
Love it..Since I start drinking green tea ...I never felt better each day.
#85 by Ashley, Apr 14, 2009
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 by babydoll, Apr 17, 2009
will the green tea pills give you the same benefits as to drinking the green tea

Green tea is great ... try the green tea with Chai flavours in it ( herbs such as cloves, cinnamon etx...) makes it taste yummy.
#90 by anonymous and confused, Apr 21, 2009
is tea high in antioxidants or am i making that up anonymous
#91 by Alex, Apr 21, 2009
it is high in antioxidants. That's why tea is notorious for being the hot drink of choice when someone gets sick.
#92 by tulu cephas, Apr 22, 2009
hi, i take a cup or two of green tea in a day, how much do you recomend in a day.
#93 by Mr fantastic, Apr 24, 2009
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.

#99 by mama mia! , May 6, 2009
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 by taabu, May 7, 2009

#102 by mama mia! , May 14, 2009
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 by NY, May 15, 2009
Excellent article. Thanks for this great research. I certainly can use some lower cholestrol. Thanks again.
#104 by L. Lee, May 16, 2009
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 by mozza, May 17, 2009
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 by Tubby, May 17, 2009
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 by Jason, May 17, 2009
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 by Akeeka, May 18, 2009
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 by JOIII, May 19, 2009
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.

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

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.

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?

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
