Green tea benefits 

I am afraid your question is unclear. Do you mean to ask what the various benefits of drinking green tea are? Or do you have any specific illness that you want to cure using green tea?




Green tea has been drunk by people for hundreds of years. You must be aware that there are three main types of tea. Green, black and oolong differ from each other only in the processing techniques.


Unfermented tea leaves  are used to make Green tea. This particular tea has a high percentage of a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants help the body get rid of free radicals, elements that exist in our body and are responsible for the process of ageing.   Free radicals are also believed to be responsible for the creation of various health problems like cancer and diseases of the heart. Green tea contains an antioxidant named polyphenol which can help it neutralize the effect of free radicals.   

A variety of studies carried out on the possible benefits of drinking green tea have revealed that drinking green tea can help you lower the total cholesterol and raise the HDL in your body. Regularly drinking green tea will also help prevent cancer, control blood sugar and also help you to lose weight.
