Green Tea - weightloss and more!

Green Tea and Weight Loss.

Numerous studies have shown good evidence of green tea weight loss benefits.

Scientific tests have indicated that green tea catechins can lower cholesterol and increase energy expenditure.

One recent double-blind study analyzed 3 groups- one with green tea, one with a placebo, and one with just caffeine. The green tea group showed a small but statistically significant 4 percent increase in energy expenditure, compared with no change for those taking either a placebo or caffeine alone.

The scientists discovered that green tea catechins may alter the body's use of norepinephrine, a chemical transmitter in the nervous system, to increase the rate of calorie burning.

If you drink green tea you can-

Lower cholesterol

Increase Thermogenesis (the body's rate of burning calories)

Enhance fat oxidation

Green tea can lower cholesterol and increase energy expenditure.
Green tea also causes carbohydrates to be released slowly, preventing sharp increases in blood-insulin levels. This promotes the burning of fat.

Drinking Green Tea Can Limit Weight Gain.

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 Benefits Health
The health benefits of green tea have been well documented by recent studies.

There are four primary polyphenols in green tea and they are often collectively referred to as catechins.

Powerful antioxidants, catechins have been shown in recent studies to fight viruses, slow aging, and have a beneficial effect on health. Clinical tests have shown that catechins destroy free radicals and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage the body at the cellular level leaving the body susceptible to cancer, heart disease, and many other degenerative diseases.

Green tea antioxidants have been shown to lower cholesterol.

EGCG is a potent antioxidant.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an antioxidant found in green tea, is at least 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. This antioxidant has twice the benefits of resveratrol, found in red wine.

Special Green Tea Benefits
Reduces high blood pressure. Drinking green tea represses angiotensin II which leads to high blood pressure.

Lowers blood sugar. Green tea polyphenols and polysaccharides are effective in lowering blood sugar.

Fights cancer. There have been many studies that have shown that green tea catechins are effective at preventing cancer.

Green tea also boosts the immune system because of its high concentrations of polyphenols and flavenoids.

Citizens of Uji and Shizuoka, where we get our teas (and where most green tea in Japan is harvested) have among the lowest rates of cancer in the world. They drink more high quality green tea, per capita, than residents of any other region in Japan.

High grade green teas contain more polyphenols than ordinary teas. They are also delicious!

Unfermented green tea leaves are the least processed form of tea. Drinking green tea from 100% quality tea leaves is the most natural way to gain these health benefits.

The Higher the ratio of HGCG in Green Tea, the better the tea is for you. Many places sell green tea, but most of them sell low quality. The best place to buy green tea is from https://www2.acadia.net/cgi-bin/BAC/web_store.cgi - Beyound A Century , their green tea is 45%+ EGCG!!!
