For the love of green tea a lot ofl beverage brands today has their own version of green tea flavored products. To my curiousity I did some researching on the net as to why and what is this Green Tea phenomena all about. Is any other food or drink reported to have as many health benefits as green tea? Thrilled of what i've learned about green tea and it's benefits, I thought of sharing it here with you guys.
Widely recognized that the Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression, green tea has much more to offer.
I've learned from one among the many distributor(resensa) of this product that Green tea contains caffeine which has a strong stimulating effect. It has an advantage over coffee because green tea caffeine combines with catechin to produce a milder, more natural energizing effect.The catechins in green tea impede the action of angiotensin, a chemical in the blood, which are known to cause high blood pressure. Green tea mildly lowers total cholesterol levels by decreasing LDL "bad" cholesterol and increasing HDL "good" cholesterol. Green tea is rich in catechins which have been proven effective in reducing cancer risks.
Green tea also causes carbohydrates to be released slowly, preventing sharp increases in blood - insulin levels. This promotes the burning of fats. Green tea has the ability to kill certain bacteria. For instance, its strong sterilizing effect on bacteria is used in the treatment of diarrhea.
Daily consumption of green tea in sufficient amounts help prolong life. Experts believe that the powerful anti-oxidizing agents of green tea restrain aging.
To date, the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine. However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee: there are approximately thirty to sixty mg. of caffeine in six - eight ounces of tea, compared to over one-hundred mg. in eight ounces of coffee.

good stuff! A coworker lowered his cholesterol and the only thing he did was switch from coffee to green tea.
Aye, but green tea from a can is no where near as effective as fresh tea from a bag. The freeradicals are already reacted by te time they reach yer body.
I grew up on green tea when I lived in Japan. The health benefits are numerous. I love it, especially Bancha...
