Almost all of us love a cup of coffee or tea at some point in the day but how many of you are aware of the health benefits of green tea?
In fact, how many of you drink it at all? If you don't, well, quite frankly you should start. Add green tea to your diet and start looking better and feeling younger.
Green tea has its origins in China although these days it is regularly drunk in Japan too. It has also become a somewhat trendy option in fashionable cafes in some of the major cities around the world.
Below I will list some of the most important 'health benefits of green tea' you will have if you include it into your regular diet:
Statistics say that as of 2012, approximately 1/3 of Americans suffer from obesity. Studies have shown that green tea increases the body's metabolism and increases the body's ability to burn fat. It can also reduce fat by reducing the inhibiting effects of insulin. In short, it help the body to send sugar to your muscles for use as opposed to it storing up.
Now I will admit that the taste is not everyone's cup of tea (bad pun intended). But did you know that it is possible to use green tea powder to make a wide variety of other snacks.
You can even get green tea kit-kats! Granted, this may not be possible outside of Asia but again, you can add some seen tea powder to add some flavor to any cake or dessert. Kids will love it!
If you really hate the taste, and cannot be bothered to add any powder into any of your cooking then perhaps the only other option left to you is to take some kind of supplement which has green tea extract.
To your health!

Below I will list some of the most important 'health benefits of green tea' you will have if you include it into your regular diet:
- It includes something called Catechin, a powerful antioxidant which gives it its bitter flavor. This helps combat food poisoning in the stomach.
- It increases the rate at which fat and calories are burnt.
- The antioxidants are great as they act as a sort of anti-aging stimulant.
- It boosts your immunity and thus protects us from a variety of ailments such as colds, the flu, tooth decay, indigestion and more.
- It can also reduce the blood sugar levels in your body therefore lessening the chance of diabetes. Of course this is only if you drink the tea straight (as it should be), not with milk nor sugar.
