Green tea is probably one of the latest health and beauty trends today. Supermarkets and convenience stores now sell a wide array of green tea-flavored beverages. Cosmetic companies manufacture one green tea-enriched beauty product after another. Surprisingly, though, green tea has been around for many generations. Why is it only now that people started noticing its benefits?
The answer is simple—people are now turning to natural health solutions. With the global economy in the doldrums, people are looking for effective, but affordable ways to keep themselves healthy. Experts have proven that green tea can be just as effective—but not as expensive—as prescription drugs in preventing or curing certain diseases.
The Chinese have been using green tea as medicine for at least 4,000 years. They use it to cure a broad range of ailments, from headaches to depression. In England, tea is taken with meals. In Japan, tea is revered in a special ceremony called chanoyu. In accordance to Zen Buddhist tradition, chanoyu is carried out to help the participants achieve a sense of peace.

Some people sip a hot cup of tea while reading a book, while others love to have a cold bottle of iced tea with a hamburger and French fries. Lately, however, Americans have been drinking green tea to lose weight. Indeed, it is very amazing that a simple drink can do wonders for the health.
