Tea is one of the miraculously available green leaf; which not only gives taste but color also. After water, tea is the only beverage which is world wide consumed. The tea also makes a difference of how this is prepared. The green tea leaf is unprocessed; though the leaf is full of benefits:

It lessens the cholesterol level; it also slows down the arthritis problem and prevents growth of cancer cells along with weight loss. Researchers estimate that the rate of heart attack decreases by 11% with consumption of 3 cups of tea per day. More important, regular drinking of green tea cleans up the bowel system. Green tea also acts as anti-ageing supplements.

Apart from drinking; green tea is beneficial in beauty treatments as well; where green tea-bags are placed on eyes and sunburn area on the skin to lighten the burn marks. An antioxidant namely epigallocatechingallate, or EGCG is found in green tea leaves; which is 100 times better than Vitamin C and around 25 times better that Vitamin E.

It is said that every good thing also have some negative points; the biggest thing is of availability of caffeine. There are some side effects lead with the excessive intake of caffeine includes insomnia, an accelerated heart rate, migraine headaches, trembling, agitation, stomach upset and anxiety.

As everything comes with good and bad things so does Green Tea.
