There are many green tea benefits; in fact it is one of the top foods for providing health benefits. Tea has been used for thousands of years for its health benefits and it was first used in China about 4, 000 years ago. A lot of research has been conducted to determine why green tea is so good for you. Drinking green teas has been found to help high cholesterol levels, arthritis, cancer, infection and cardiovascular disease.

The important active ingredient in green leaf teas are the catechin polyphenols, the most important being epigallocatechin gallate. This is a powerful antioxidant that can stop cancer cells from growing; it lowers LDL cholesterol levels and can stop blood clots from forming. In particular this antioxidant kills cancer cells and leaves the healthy cells alone.

Just as drinking red wine in moderate quantities is good for the heart due to the antioxidants found in red wine, the same goes for drinking green tea for the same reason. Further more, the green tea antioxidants are actually better for you than the red win antioxidants, so if you want a better heart in terms of health, drink green tea.

One of the most recent discoveries is that green tea may actually help in weight loss because drinking green tea actually increases your metabolism, helping you burn more calories, which in turn helps you lose more weight. Some other benefits of green tea include the killing of bacteria that cause teeth decay, and other things that when applied topically as a cream are good for your skin.

There is only one detractor to drinking tea and that is it contains caffeine. Those that are sensitive to caffeine can suffer from insomnia. Otherwise there are no negative side effects associated with green teas. No one can agree on how much green leaf tea you should drink but even one serving a day is better than none.
