25 Reasons Why We Should Start Drinking Green Tea

[Flatz]

I suppose the same would be true for Green Tea tablets/pills?

I enjoy Green Tea now and then, but I would probably wouldn't bother with brewing it every day.
But I can pop a pill pretty easily.

I hear green tea also instantly heals all bullet wounds and can stop global warming... ROFL

jk jk... yea green tea is good for you , I drink it every so often, I just hate making it...

[nea_lin]

It's not too hard to make. Just get yourself an electric kettle and some tea bags and you're good to go in less than 5 minutes.

4. Green Tea and Weight Loss
Green tea helps with your body weight loss. Green tea burns fat and boosts your metabolism rate naturally. It can help you burn up to 70 calories in just one day. That translates to 7 pounds in one year.

WHAT?? 70 calories a day from drinking green tea? Are you sure? if its 70 cals per day you will burn waaayyy more fat a year than 7 pounds! 3500 cals=1lb!

If the number is in fact 70kcal then 7 pounds if close enough... Would actually be about 7.3 pounds in 365 days. 7*365=25550 / 3500 = 7.3

I drink a 2 liter of homeade green tea with very little sugar a day, I think green tea helps alot with everything, plus our city water sucks so I make green tea to avoid having to drink the water.

OP, you forgot to mention that green tea also increases the size of your penis and makes bitches hornier. It's true, I read it on the internet somewhere.

[CelticTheTruth]

Great. Now I love drinking green tea even more, actually about to make some right now.

I am a green tea fan. I also like white tea. I believe it has a lot of good benefits as well.

[Anntrenton]

I'm a tea addict. I could never get through an entire day without a cup of freshly-brewed loose green tea. The smell alone is enough to make my mouth water and the delicious sensation of fresh hot tea sliding down my throat is something that I always take time to relish during my tea break. Green tea has tons of health benefits and is a great source of antioxidants. Some of the best green tea can be found at trentonteas.com. Cheers!

You should check out White Tea (and no that isnt black tea with milk in). Black tea is made from leaves of the plant after they are oxidised (which cause the leaves to to lose a lot of their nutrients). Green tea is made from the leaves before they are oxidised. However White Tea is made from the flowering buds of the plant and contain far more of the nutrients. Also is far tastier. Not as sharp as green tea.

green tea tastes horrible, you just have to down it in one! but im gonna try mixing with small amount of honey or splenda and see what happens

[King_Madness]

Since I got tired of constantly going through the process of making hot green tea(boiling water, brewing it perfectly), and got tired of drinking hot tea in the summer, I decided to try iced green tea.

All you have to do is get a bottle, fill it with water, put a couple tea bags in it, then shake for 15 seconds and leave in fridge for 2 hours(or overnight). For better taste put lemon juice. Man oh man, this stuff has been working great, and its so much easier to drink, and easier to make.

I love green tea. I do hate making though I usually put a cup of water in the microwave for 45 sec then ad the tea. its pretty ffast way of making it in the morning

[Niko49ers]

How do you make it? What type would you recommend?

There is also a "Diet" Arizona Green Tea I see in Walmart pre-made. Is that the same? It has 0 calories and all.

[MS614]

Im going to start drinking green tea now

"Diet" Arizona Green Tea is great!
Green tea is such a calorie dense drink! With this one you can always put those extra 2 calories to a better use!

green tea is awesome. i put water in a cup heat that b**** up for like 3-4 minutes add the greentea bag, add some honey and a splash of lemon/lime and bam, already feel like im getting benefits. usually after i drink the first cup i heat up another cup and use the same teabag, just to get all the juices out of the bag

[tenreps]

I drink 2 cups of green tea a day- love it, i also chop some raw ginger and and put it in there, another thing that has tons of health benifits.

[thesensation2]

going to buy some today and try it out

Green tea is great, definitely seems to have some hidden benefits that coffee doesn't have. I drink puerh, which is basically green tea that is old as hell, supposedly very good for digestion.

Funny, I've been drinking Pu'er, Lap Sang, and Golden Monkey for years, and I never realized Pu'er was a green tea. It doesn't really have much in common with the green tea I've had ( from the taste / look standpoint).

[Brian94]

I'm really loving green tea. At work they have japanese grean tea packets so it's easy to make.

Of course, I know there are many benefits to green tea which is why I drink it in the first place. Wikipedia article on it says that the fat-loss part may not be 100% proven, but a lot of researchers seem to think it does help weight loss. Regardless the teeth thing is proven I believe, so it's still better than drinking coffee or other tea at work.

So yeah, keep up the green tea hehehe.

I've been drinking the naturally decaffeinated green tea later in the day since I have trouble sleeping when I drink the regular stuff.

[MrMostly]

I drink a quite a lot of green tea. You should be aware that it does lose its benefits as it ages, the chemicals degrade. Always buy fresh.

I don't really brew mine. I just put a generous pinch in a 1\2 gallon pitcher and fill it full of hot water. You get better tea for less in loose tea. Most of the leaves just settle to the bottom anyway.
Usually, you can get a couple pitchers out of each batch.

It's cheaper than soda pop and better for you than juice. For me the amount of caffeine is not significant....although you can get decaffeinated.

Brilliant, now that it sorts out various STD's I can go on a sexual rampage.

[marcopaoletti]

Very interesting article

For those who don't like the taste of green tea... you should definitely try different kinds. I particularly like green tea with fruits like peaches, strawberry, etc.

[Brian94]

If you have the money, buy some of those green-tea tablets for days when you're out of real green tea or don't have time to boil water.

[cagalindo]

I read decaffeinated green tea provides less health benefits than the unaltered version.

i drink gallons of the stuff... good article!!! thanks

How does green tea compare with like a normal Lipton tea every morning?

[ta1588]

I drink sugarless coffee in the morning and sugarless green tea all through the day. I'm something of a caffeine addict now. I don't add sugar because 1. I hate sweets and 2. I think the whole fat-burning thing would be null if you add a bunch of sugar to the drink.
