Green tea is definitely good for your health. In National Geographic channel, researchers suggest 4 cups a day of green tea for a healthy body. It can make you loose weight, clear the skin, help prevent and cure the diseases mentioned before me, cleanses the body, and so much more. If you want to experience these, start drinking green tea. At first it doesn't taste good to me, but the more i drink it, the more i can take it and get to like it... especially when i wake up in the morning and feel like i've been doing push ups just because i drank a cup before bedtime. Green tea cleanses the body. You'll enjoy the great benefits of it once you've tried it...

The health benefits of tea have been touted for infusions made from the plant Camellia sinensis for over 4700 years; ever since its discovery was attributed to the legendary emperor, Shennong. The Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing claimed its taste and stimulative properties were useful for treating tumors, abcesses, bladder ailments, lethagy, among other conditions. The possible beneficial health effects of tea consumption have been suggested and supported by some studies, but others have found no beneficial effects. The studies contrast other claims, including antinutritional effects such as preventing absorption of iron and protein, usually attributed to tannin. The vast majority of studies have been of Green tea, however some studies have been made of the other types of tea derived from Camellia sinensis such as White tea, Oolong tea, and Black tea. Green tea has been claimed to be helpful for atherosclerosis, bad cholesterol, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, liver disease, weight loss, and cognitive impairment.

Green tea has beneficial effects on the body, since it has lots of anti-oxidants. The only thing is, you shouldn't drink too much because tea could cause insomnia due to the caffeine it contains.
