Are there any of you that drink green tea or take a green tea product on a regular basis? Have you found that it has helped you feel better? Is there anything else it has done for you?

yea my sis use to drink green tea n it helped to lose weight especially fat around her stomach

I drink green tea every morning. I don't really feel any different, but not bad either! (Why so sad, CuppyCake?)

I make a pitcher of the Lipton green tea with orange, passion fruit, & jasmine flavoring, and keep it in the fridge to have a glass with breakfast and sometimes other times. No, I don't feel any effects, but I forget what it's supposed to be good for - doesn't it contain antioxidants? I'm not sure what it feels like to not oxidize.

i drink turkey hill green tea with ginsing and honey every day but i dont feel like it is doing anything for me i just like the way it tastes

Oh I love green tea and drink tea in a regular basis.
I drink tea almost on a daily basis.

Overview
Archeological evidence suggests that people consumed tea leaves steeped in boiling water as many as 500,000 years ago. Botanical evidence indicates that India and China were among the first countries to cultivate tea. Today, hundreds of millions of people drink tea around the world, and studies are now suggesting that green tea (Camellia sinesis) in particular has many health benefits.
There are three main varieties of tea -- green, black, and oolong. The difference between the teas is in their processing. Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals -- damaging compounds in the body that alter cells, tamper with DNA (genetic material), and even cause cell death. Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins (including ultraviolet rays from the sun, radiation, cigarette smoke, and air pollution) also give rise to these damaging particles. Scientists believe that free radicals contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health problems including cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants such as polyphenols in green tea can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
Green tea has been consumed throughout the ages in India, China, Japan, and Thailand. In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, practitioners used green tea as a stimulant, diuretic (to promote the excretion of urine), astringent (to control bleeding and help heal wounds), and to improve heart health. Other traditional uses of green tea include treating flatulence (gas), regulating body temperature and blood sugar, promoting digestion, and improving mental processes.
Essentially hormones are used on demand by the body to instruct cells in particular tissues to devote their resources to the production of a particular protein

I drink green tea most days - 2 or 3 cups.
The only thing I've noticed is that I haven't caught a cold, even though work friends/boyfriend/family members have all had several. I'll get a little bit of a sore throat for a day and sneeze a few times and that's it.
I have no proof that the green tea is preventing me from catching colds and viruses although I have read that it can strengthen your immune system and speed recovery from illnesses.

I take a Green tea concentrate--Green Tea Plus every day. I used to drink freshly brewed Green tea but then I came to know that you need to drink at least 6 to 8 cups of Green tea every day for it to impart any health benefits. That's when I started Green tea supplement concentrate. I have lost weight and feel more energetic. My skin has also improved. http://www.newvitality.com/shop/green-tea-plus.aspx
