Green Tea Vs Weight Loss


If you have ever tried to lose weight with classical methods, you certainly experienced lot of efforts doing exercises, diets, using pills, making sacrifices and suffering lot of stress. then have you try with green tea? 


What is the Green Tea


Green tea is made solely from the leaves of Camellia sinensis that have undergone minimaloxidation during processing. Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures throughout Asia. It has recently become more widespread in the West Country, whereblack tea is traditionally consumed. Many varieties of green tea have been created in countries where they are grown. 

Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent.

Tea's health benefits are largely due to its high content of flavonoids — plant-derived compounds that are antioxidants. Green tea is the best food source of a group called catechins. In test tubes, catechins are more powerful than vitamins C and E in halting oxidative damage to cells and appear to have other disease-fighting properties. Studies have found an association between consuming green tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, including, skin, breast, lung, colon, esophageal, and bladder.

Additional benefits for regular consumers of green and black teas include a reduced risk for heart disease. The antioxidants in green, black teas can help block the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase HDL (good) cholesterol and improve artery function.

Green Tea for Weight Loss - The Best Way to Lose Weight Naturally


Green tea also causes carbohydrates to be released slowly, preventing sharp increases in blood-insulin levels. This promotes the burning of fat.

The thermogenic effect was originally attributed to its caffeine content. However, green tea stimulates brown fat thermogenesis far greater than a comparable amount of pure caffeine. It appears that the catechin-polyphenols, in particular epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and caffeine that naturally occur in green tea work synergistically to stimulate thermogenesis and augment and prolong sympathetic stimulation of thermogenesis. It has been shown to increase 24-hour energy expenditure and fat oxidation (caffeine only increases metabolism during the time you take it).

Weight is gained as excess sugars and fats are stored in the body as fat cells. Green tea catechins can help prevent obesity by inhibiting the movement of glucose in fat cells.Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been found to be especially effective. There is now good evidence that green tea catechins are related to reductions in body fat.

Green tea is a wonderful tea to take daily and guess what you are secretly removing your extra fat just by sitting. Isn't it that amazing? Yes it is. It is surely a natural gift to keep you healthy and fit for your life.
