What exactly are the benefits of drinking green tea?

On my question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=10060415086... you said there was no BURGER KING. I think you need to listen to dane cook

It won't counteract the benefits. Green tea is a good source of anti-oxidents and it's a thermogenic as well, meaning that it raises your core temperature and speeds up your metabolism so you burn more calories. That's why it's an ingredient in tons of fat burners.

Adding flavor to the tea does not change the benefits it just changes or add a different flavor to it, i add honey to mine, here's some health benefit.

Special Benefits of Green Tea

Reduces high blood pressure. Drinking green tea represses angiotensin II which leads to high blood pressure.

Lowers blood sugar. Green tea polyphenols and polysaccharides are effective in lowering blood sugar.

Fights cancer. There have been many studies that have shown that green tea catechins are effective at preventing cancer.

Green tea also boosts the immune system because of its high concentrations of polyphenols and flavenoids.

Green tea antioxidants have been shown to lower cholesterol.

There are four primary polyphenols in green tea and they are often collectively referred to as catechins. Powerful antioxidants, catechins have been shown in recent studies to fight viruses, slow aging, and have a beneficial effect on health.

Increase Thermogenesis (the body's rate of burning calories)

Enhance fat oxidation

Green tea weight loss benefits- it burns fat naturally and increases metabolism

Green tea contains high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. These compounds work with other chemicals to intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis, where heat is created in the body by burning fuels such as fat. Drinking Japanese green tea regularly will increase your metabolism and help burn fat safely and naturally.

Clinical tests have shown that catechins destroy free radicals and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage the body at the cellular level leaving the body susceptible to cancer, heart disease, and many other degenerative diseases.

EGCG is a potent antioxidant.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an antioxidant found in green tea, is at least 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. This antioxidant has twice the benefits of resveratrol, found in red wine.

Green tea is a good weightloss tool, like many tea's, it curbs your appetite. Also its a good stress reliever. Adding fruit is not going to lessen the effect.

It's supposed to keep you "regular" and it's also supposed to help you lose weight. Personal experiences tell me that these are both true. I used a brand from a local chinese restaurant.

egcg is some good thing, theanine makes you relaxed, caffeine more alert, antioxidants stop free radicals from damaging you.

A moderately healthy way to ingest CAFFEINE. HA-HA!

Nothing.

ur skin will shine more !!!
