25 Reasons to Drink Green Tea
I am a great believer that one way to stay well is to stay away from clinics and hospitals, where bad germs lurk, just waiting for the next victim. I am always looking for natural remedies, and science is finding that many times, old natural remedies work for a reason. Like chicken soup when you have a cold, like the benefits of drinking green tea.
I don’t know that green tea works in every way this article says it does, but there are enough benefits, and enough scientific research showing that it improves bodily functions, that I regularly imbibe.
Green tea has increasingly become a very popular drink worldwide because of its immensely powerful health benefits.
It is extraordinarily amazing what green tea can do for your health.
And if you’re not drinking 3 to 4 cups of green tea today, you’re definitely NOT doing your health a big favor.
Here Are The 25 Reasons Why You Should Start Drinking Green Tea Right Now:
1. Green Tea and Cancer
Green tea helps reduce the risk of cancer.
The antioxidant in green tea is 100 times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times better than vitamin E.
This helps your body at protecting cells from damage believed to be linked to cancer.

2. Green Tea and Heart Disease
Green tea helps prevent heart disease and stroke by lowering the level of cholesterol.
Even after the heart attack, it prevents cell deaths and speeds up the recovery of heart cells.

What this means it helps you fight against aging and promotes longevity.

The very key to this is high fluoride content found in green tea.
It helps keep your bones strong.
If you drink green tea every day, this will help you preserve your bone density.

It also improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol, by reducing bad cholesterol level.

Even though it has great benefits I don’t like it.
LOL, Mac . . . you get used to it!
I’m with MacaholiQ8 – but anything that keeps away wrinkles is fine by me, so I’m “enjoying” a cup right now 🙂
LOL, Little Diamond. I found one that had a roasted taste, it was pretty good, but I think it is hard to find, and expensive. It might be a winter tea . . .
I like the flavored green teas at the supermarket, what works for me is to dip the tea bag for a short period in water that not boiling hot, this gives it a sweet taste instead of bitter 😉
I agree.. you get used to it after while. But at first it’s so blehhh!
I wish flavored tea was as beneficial lol – like cinnamon or apple. Yum!! =)
Nice suggestion, Mathai. I like it with a little mint, or there is a roasted kind they serve in Seattle that tastes good on a cold rainy day . . . 🙂
LLOOLL, S&S, I agree. There is a tea called Market Spice Tea in Seattle that has hints of orange and cinnamon . . . yumm.

This is a great list. This is coming from someone who has a hard time consuming it as well (in drink form, so I either consume a pill/day or in patch form). I have to say, #1 reason eminates your #4:
“Green tea helps with your body weight loss. Green tea burns fat and boosts your metabolism rate naturally.
It can help you burn up to 70 calories in just one day.
That translates to 7 pounds in one year.”
To me, that’s a significant amount of weight to loose per year if one is either trying to shed those few unwanted lbs or stay fit and maintain one’s figure. Of course I’m also apt to believe #9 (obesity) as it relates to #4. Too many people get “instant” gratification from foods high on fat and low on what the body really needs. At least starting out with one beneficial food such as green tea is a start in the right direction.
This list omits the main reason I drink green tea (and tea in general)…it tastes great!
I drink my sencha green tea cold. Try it.
I like it cold, too, Mark, especially in Kuwait or Doha in the mid-summer, when it is sizzling!
It’s really interesting how matcha is made and used in Japan
i will try this…
I was born with asthma but not bad does green tea reduce my asthma?
Number 19 says it relaxes muscles supporting the bronchial tubes. I’m not an expert, Jordan, so I can’t say for sure that it works or doesn’t work, but I drink green tea because I think it can’t hurt. I drink a lot of green tea when I have a cold, because I think it boosts my immunities, but I don’t really KNOW that scientifically. 🙂
I didn’t know much about green tea until one day when I was visiting my parents, I had this bad headache, I thought I would pass out, on hearing me complain my father stood up and make green tea for me.I was sure it won’t help as I have drunk it before, but for nothing. I got into the car and within an hour my head felt clear. I couldn’t believe it. I also constantly suffer from Asthma and a lot of allergies. Sinus also made my life hell. The next day I bought mine, I don’t know why I never knew before. I would have saved me a lot of pain and money.I would recommend it to everyone I know. Its only that until it saves your life you’ll never take it seriously, I was very lucky.
Oh, what good news! I don’t often have headaches, but it’s good to know that green tea will knock it out!
I like it best, when its cold. Try drinking Iced green tea. I usually just go to starbuck and order iced green tea w/ one seet n low instead of the syrup. Its very good, and if you want to add a kick to it, just tell them to add lemonade! 🙂 Good luck!
[…] and much much more! […]

There are so many green teas on the market. Which is the best one for boosting immunity and allergies. Are green teas better than the tinctures?
Healthlady, I don’t know. My favorite green tea is one that also has pomegranate; I like the color and I like the idea of all those anti-oxidants running wild in my body, killing off evil free radicals. 😉
i like eating green tea leaves

Reblogged this on Digital Photography Pictures .
Being aware of the impact you make gives you the advantage.
This is especially useful for those people that are under a lot of stress or may be struggling with depression
or anxiety. If you’re anything like me and you have a spot of bother nodding off a night, try a cup of Chamomile tea which has a natural sedative.
i would drink green tea now that i know all of the benefits it has for good health, but it hurts my stomach when i drink it. Why is that? is there smth i can take with it so that i can drink it every day?
I’m sorry, Lady J, I’ve never heard of anyone getting a stomach ache from green tea. If it makes your stomach hurt – don’t drink it! It might not be right for you!
Like knowing about green tea.
I wish the doctors should advertise more about the herb green tea,moreover, to educate people at all health centers and hospitals all over the world,addition to that W.H.O also should be involved. Thanx Wed,31 July 2013 …10.48

It is disgusting, so i put a little Agave in mine! Now I plan to drink a cup every day.
I had blemishes that bothered me for 6 years but they are clearing now. I recommend it to everyone I meet.
Great article! I have found drinking Green Tea to be greatly beneficial to my health; and I do so regularly. However, I found it does have some contraindications that are often overlooked. I found this infographic particularly interesting. There is more in-depth information on the page too for those who are interested.
