Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant with compounds that can shield you from many harmful diseases including cancer and heart disease. It is now known that green tea improves cardiovascular health, reduces the risk of cancer and helps with weight loss.

One of these compounds is EGCG, which is a substance with 25 to 100 times the antioxidant power of vitamins C and E. In fact, just one cup of green tea has more antioxidants than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.

Green Tea has been proven helpful at:

Protecting joints against osteoarthritis
Preventing total body inflammation
Lowering your LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Preventing excess hormone activity
Shielding your body from abnormal cell growth
Protecting against lung cancer
Aiding weight loss
Improving your metabolism
Boosting your immune system
Improving skin cells
Destroying harmful bacteria that can poison your system
Preventing tooth decay

Well if your doing this to lose weight it won't work, most diets don't work either.

Just eat what you want but when when you want to eat it.
Only eat at regular times like breakfast, dinner tea and supper.
Never eat between meals and get lots of exercise.

You will only ever lose the fat when your own body releases the enzymes need to digest your own fat, so no eating when you feel hungry till it is time to eat.

Green tea will increase metabolism and increase your need for carb intake.

Yes, it has a lot of antioxidants which helps your body filter and clean itself. I'm not sure how much caffeine, but in the morning that's never a bad thing!
