Health & Life Newspaper quoted Master, Doctor Nguyen Van Tien as saying that drinking green tea has the following effects:

Protect and improve brain function: Green tea not only keeps you alert, but can also help boost brain function. The key active ingredient is caffeine, which is a stimulant, not as much as coffee, but enough to produce a response without causing the jittery effects associated with consuming too much caffeine.

Helps prevent heart disease: Studies show that green tea can improve several major risk factors for heart disease and stroke, including improving total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.

Boost fat burning: According to research, green tea can increase fat burning and boost metabolism. Caffeine can also improve physical performance by mobilizing fatty acids from fat tissue for use as energy.

Helps reduce the risk of diabetes: A study in Japanese individuals found that those who drank the most green tea had an approximately 42% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Good for oral health: The catechins in green tea are also beneficial for oral health. Test-tube studies show that catechins can prevent the growth of bacteria that cause plaque, a leading cause of bad breath and tooth decay.
