Over the last years, we in the Western world have rediscovered a lot of “lost knowledge”, from other parts of the World. There are many plants and herbs that aid us in different areas of our health and one of them is green tea, known in China for thousands of years.

Integrating green tea into your life is very easy. You can find it as a warm drink during winter or drink it very cool as iced tea during summer time. It is also found in the form of powder and even pills. There’s nothing easier than taking pills!

Green tea has been strongly promoted to help losing weight. According to some studies, it was discovered that men and women who took green tea on their diets burnt more fat than people with no green tea or a placebo. It helps in using fat to produce energy.

A much more interesting benefit of green tea is the one relating to cancer prevention. Green tea is rich in antioxidants called catechins. These help eliminating cancer cells, and the best of all is that get rid of cancerous cells without making any damage to healthy tissue.

Green tea has already been employed greatly in many skin care products which include it in their formula. This type of tea has proven useful to retard the effects of exposure to sun and aging. Again it helps preventing skin cancer by eliminating free radicals.

The question that pops up is: why isn’t green tea as widely used then? Part of the blame goes to modern medicine that always look down on alternative treatments and unscrupulous doctors that prefer chemical based products instead of formulas for pharmaceutical profits.
