The Many Benefits of Herbal Japanese Green Tea!!

Japanese green tea, also called Sencha tea (Camellia sinensis) can work as an aid to weight reduction as well as the many other health benefits listed below. Research has shown that drinking green tea twice a day can reduce the growth of excess fat cells. Having it twenty to thirty minutes before meals also staves off hunger pangs and suppresses the appetite. It can be consumed between meals as well.

If you are not a tea drinker, take green tea capsules. Be sure to purchase either the liquid or soluble powdered form. The higher the percentage of polyphenols in the green tea, the more effective it is both as a weight loss and healthy aging beverage.

Green tea does contain a small amount of caffeine, depending on the length of time it is brewed. If you are caffeine-sensitive, brew for just three minutes. Use warm water rather than hot to fully preserve the antioxidants present in the tea. These antioxidants are believed to be more effective than vitamins C and E.

It is also helpful in both cancer prevention and cancer treatment. Drinking ten tea cups daily can significantly shrink tumours of any kind.
