Green Tea Diet For Weight Loss

Tip! Cancer: The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of a study in 1994 which indicated that drinking green tea reduced the risk of oesophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. In addition, researchers at the University of Purdue concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells.

Green Tea has a long history, but I am sure everyone is aware of it, and is already bored to death reading about it. That’s why I will skip the past and go to present days. I will keep only the Chinese people’s green tea experience for later on in my article.

What is Green Tea Diet?

A Green Tea Diet is the regular intake of green tea. You may take green tea as a drink, pill or weight loss patch.

Health benefits of Green Tea Diet

Although green tea has been used for more than 4000 years in China for treating a wide variety of ailments, I will list some recent medical and scientific researches into the health benefits of green tea diet in short:

+ anti aging effect
+ refreshing effect
+ lowers high cholesterol levels
+ lowers blood sugar level
+ promotes dental health

Clinical tests have shown that Green Tea:

+ prevents cancer by inhibiting the growth of new cancer cells and killing existing ones
+ lowers high blood pressure and prevents hypertension
+ lowers risk of atherosclerosis
+ protects the heart and prevents cardiovascular disease
+ thins blood and prevents thrombosis, which is one of the causes of heart attacks and stroke

Tip! Weight Loss: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results in 1999 of a study conducted at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. University researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.

Green Tea Diet also helps you:

+ protect against Alzheimer’s disease
+ prevent rheumatoid arthritis
+ improve insulin sensitivity in Type 2 Diabetes
+ improve immune system defenses to fight against viruses (such as flu)
+ promotes dental health

What makes green tea diet so special?

It’s all about the great antioxidant effect of the green tea extract. Green tea extract is one of the best natural antioxidants with extremely powerful and potent antioxidant components. Green tea takes 5th place in the list of the best antioxidants.

Tip! Let the tea steep for between four and five minutes. If using green tea three minutes is best.

The antioxidant effect of green tea extract is due to the green tea flavonoid polyphenols (also called bioflavonoids) that protect your body sells from the damaging free radicals. Those free radicals are result from metabolism and have bad oxidative effect that can seriously damage your body cells.

The super antioxidant - Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG)

The polyphenols EGCG antioxidant is the most powerful compound of green tea extract. It is 100 times more potent antioxidant than Vitamin C and E.

Tip! Tooth Decay: Green tea kills the bacteria that causes dental plaque, thus helping to prevent tooth decay.

Clinical tests have shown that EGCG inhibits the growth of new cancer cells and kills some existing ones without damaging the normal cells. EGCG also may prevent thrombosis, which is one of the causes of heart attacks and stroke.
