Green tea is popular for its health benefits. Here are some medical conditions for which drinking green tea is known to be helpful:

cancer
rheumatoid arthritis
high cholesterol levels
cariovascular disease
infection
impaired immune function

Additionally, health studies have documented the effect of green tea on weight loss. In May 2006, researchers at the Yale School of Medicine theorized that the 1.2 liters of green tea consumed daily by many Asians contributed greatly to the high levels of polyphenols and antioxidants in their diets. Researchers believed these compounds worked to improve cardiovascular health, prevent blood platelets from sticking together and lower cholesterol levels. Speaking of cholesterol, the researchers also found that green tea may prevent the oxidation of LDL or "bad" cholesterol, reducing the buildup of arterial plaque.
