You probably already heard about the benefit of drinking green tea and its myth. Well, greet tea originally came from China, it is then associated with the culture of drinking and enjoying tea in Asia. Based on the scientific studies, people who drink green tea have higher life expectancy than those who don't drink green tea.

Green tea contains high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. These compounds work in the body with other chemicals to heighten levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis (a state created in the body by burning fat as fuel). On average, you should try to consume a minimum of three cups of green tea per day for weight loss effects. Green tea has also been shown to be preventative against cancer, heart disease and high cholesterol.
