There has been a lot of talk of how green tea improves one’s health, and recently there is talk about how green tea can help you lose weight. But most people do not know or understand how it actually does that.
Green tea revs up your metabolism. What most people don’t know is that green tea contains caffeine. What does caffeine do? Caffeine is a stimulant, so it helps you burn extra calories. I know what you are thinking!
Yes coffee and sodas also have caffeine but the difference with these is they contain a lot more calories than what is found in green tea. The benefit with green tea is that it contains epigallocatechin gallate, which is commonly known as ECCG. The ECCG that is in green tea makes green tea more effective in helping you burn calories because it makes the caffeine more effective.
What most people do not know about green tea is that it also helps with glucose regulation. What this does is that after a meal, the green tea will slow the rise of blood sugar in the body, and this will reduce the possibility of fat being stored in the body. So the question is, do you already see the health benefits of replacing your cup of coffee with green tea?
The decision should not be hard at all – I have already traded my coffee for green tea. Not only does it give you weight loss benefits, it can reduce the risk of heart problems, help control your cholesterol levels and more. So not only will you be enjoying the weight loss benefits, you will also be improving your general health.
So how much of green tea should you actually consume to enjoy the total benefits? There is no set number of cups to drink a day but it has been said that between 3-5 cups a day is optimal.
With all these weight loss benefits of green tea, you still need to exercise and eat healthily to get the maximum weight loss that you desire. Green tea will not sort out your weight loss issues, but it will help you if you stick to a healthy diet and exercise.
