I know white and green tea have very little or no caffeine, and I do not use any sweetener, but I am not sure if there can be other problems associated with such high consumption. I usaully drink an equal or greater amount of water as well. I am not deliberatly drinking so much tea for any health reason I just love the taste, but I dont want to cause any health problems.

The subject of green tea and health is gaining a lot of attention. A body of research suggests that its healthy effects are due to antioxidants contained in the tea leaves and the fact that it is not processed as much as other teas. Scientists have discovered evidence that strongly suggests that green tea can reduce your chances of developing heart disease, help you lose weight, and improve your memory.

While this tea is not a medicine, it appears to have some of the same healing qualities of medication but without the risk of side effects. This drink offers so many health benefits that you should definite drink this tea daily. There are a number of blends available. Several different types of teas from Japan and China are sold and they are all good for your health.

Some of the research that backs up the healing qualities of green tea includes a 2006 study published in Journal of American Medical Association. This study details the long term benefits of drinking this tea. Researchers studied thousands of people who have been drinking green tea for more than a decade. They found that regular tea drinkers were less likely to develop heart disease. Other research strongly suggests that this tea can also help a person lose with.

Researchers note that the participants who saw the most benefits from this tea, drank several cups every day. They also found that green tea drinkers were more likely to have lifestyles that included eating healthy foods and staying physically active.

You may be wondering which type of tea is best for you to drink. Green tea from Japan and China are sold in stores throughout North America. Sencha, and genmaicha are among the most popular ones. All of the various blends come from the same tea leaves. There differences lie in the way the leaves are processed. Sencha is the most basic of the tea and has smaller leaves and is one of the most popular teas world wide. The leaves of genmaicha are mixed with rice.

This tea is also available in the form of supplemental pills or tablets. If you go that route, consult a physician first. This way, you can find out if the supplements might interact with any medications you may be taking. However, you can get everything that green tea has to offer by simple drinking at least four cups every day.
