Green Tea and Weight Loss
Your
health will have much to profit if you could manage to drink a cup of green tea
every day. The antioxidants contained by the green tea are extremely helpful
due to the fact that they bond free radicals present in our bodies. Such free
radicals could cause real damages to our body cells. Green tea also proved to
be very efficient in the prevention of cancer. Another quality of green tea is
that it gives metabolism a boost, thus being able to lower the LDL cholesterol.
Although
it can be very effective for those who strive to lose weight, it is not at all
a “magic” product which is able to cure everything in no time. It has been
demonstrated that a reasonable quantity of green tea can burn 80 calories in
one day. If this does not tell you much, think about it like that: in one year
green tea would help you lose 8 pounds. The conclusion is that green tea is
good for weight loss and, drunken every day, years in a file it will give you
the chance to have a healthy life.
There
are important amounts of catechin polyphenols in the composition of green tea.
Together with other chemicals in the body, these substances help to increase
fat oxidation levels as well as thermogenesis (the heat produced into the body
following the process of fuel burning). With the help of green tea,
carbohydrates are released in a slower manner, which is much better when it
comes to preventing sudden increases in the blood-insulin levels. It means that
fat will be burnt and you will lose weight.
In
the beginning, caffeine was considered responsible for the thermogenic effect.
But actually, it was demonstrated that green tea manages to burn down fat more
than a similar quantity of pure caffeine does. This amazing effect was in fact
given by the combined forces of the catechin polyphenols, mainly
epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG and caffeine. This combination found in the
green tea increases and stretches out the thermogenic sympathetic simulation.
Its effects last 24 hours, whereas those of caffeine only during the time in
which it is ingested.
Another
quality of green tea is said to be that of appetite suppressant, another plus
when it comes to weight loss. But it depends on the reason why you drink green
tea. If you drink it instead of coffee, which is known to increase appetite,
then it could actually reduce your appetite. In the same way, if you decide to
drink green tea instead of a sweet drink, your appetite will be reduced due to
the fact that, if you had a sweet drink, the sugar it contains would increase
the production of insulin, which is known to boost your appetite. The more
sugar you ingest, the more increased your appetite would be. In conclusion, if
green tea takes the place of coffee and sweet drinks in your menu, you will be
able to notice a decrease in your appetite, thus a greater chance to lose
weight.
Green
tea is good for your health not only from the point of view of weight loss, but
it is wonderful in every way. Here you have a few tips to lose weight drinking
green tea: try to have 3-6 cups every day and you will notice that your
appetite will be diminished, you will feel more energetic and, yes, you will
lose weight.
