What's The Fuss About Green Tea and Weight Loss?
- By:Tabitha Scott
Everywhere I look right now, I see green tea. Green tea,
green tea,
and more green tea. Green tea drinks, green tea supplements,
green tea extract. Heck, green tea is now even a favored
ingredient
in soda pop!
So, why all the fuss?
It seems that once again, we are discovering that our
ancestors
knew what was good for them with their favored drinks.
Scientific studies are now proving that Grandma was right
when
she brought you that soothing cup of tea on sick days. I
still
remember being curled up on Grandma's sofa, wrapped in a
downy
soft quilt, sipping at a warm mug of tea. Even today, a
cup of
tea makes me feel warm and loved.
Now, I know Grandma was not concerned about antioxidants
when she
brewed me that tea. She just gave me the remedy her
mother and
grandma gave to her, when she wasn't feeling well. There
was just
something about a cup of tea that always speeded me
quickly on the
road to recovery. My Grandma knew it, as did her grandma,
and her
grandma, and on and on. What she didn't know it that
besides being
good for what ails you, green tea packs a one-two punch
when it comes
to natural weight loss.
Green tea is your best choice for weight loss. The leaves
are processed
less than oolong or black tea, and contain more
polyphenals, specifically
epigallacatechin gallate (EGCG). Whew!! Let's make this
simple.
Green tea is cooked less, so it has more of the good stuff
your body needs.
You can get some of the same benefits from oolong and
black tea, but green
tea packs the most powerful punch when it comes to weight
loss.
Scientists are not exactly sure why, but this EGCG stuff
seems to work
with the natural caffeine in the tea to help people burn
and lose fat
faster than caffeine alone. It's even been linked to a
decrease in
appetite. A metabolic booster and appetite suppressant
all on in
green leaf! Isn't nature amazing?
The simple reason that you see green tea in so many weight
loss products
is--it works. Surprise, surprise! A weight loss tool
with actual
scientific studies proving its effectiveness!
I don't know about you, but I'm always a little concerned
about popping
the mystery weight loss pill. What exactly is in those
things? Silica?
Will sand help me lose weight? How about the infamous
"Proprietary Blend"
of herbs and who knows what else? Is it safe? And,
amazingly enough,
if you look at the ingredients of those endless bottles of
miracle
weight loss pills, how many of them contain green tea?
Look for yourself.
Makes me wonder if the only thing that works is green tea,
and the rest
is just fluff. Or sand.
When you are looking at ways to supplement your weight loss,
go back to nature. Green tea can give you the boost you
need to safely
and naturally lose that extra weight.
