HOW GREEN IS THE TEA?

This is my first time I am posting something beyond Finance market. Health has become an prime part of our life. In my next few articles I will try to help my friends to strengthen the health aspect of all of you.

Going back thousands of years, green tea has been enjoyed in both Japan and China, both as a wonderful tea to drink and for all its herbal healing properties.For 4,000 years, Asians have regarded green tea as something more than just a beverage. Green tea was used as herbal medicine and treatment for everything from headaches to depressions and even to weight loss.

Research studies have been conducted in recent years to identify what compound present in green tea makes it a potent health drink.

The scientists have found that green tea contains several antioxidants, which are responsible for many ofgreen tea's health benefits, including weight loss.

A research study by American and Swiss scientists on the weight loss benefit of green tea was concluded and the results of which were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Urology.

During the course of the study, they have found that green tea contains certain compounds that contribute to its potential as a weight loss tea.

In recent times, green tea has also caught on in the West for the same reasons. Many scientific studies have been done to determine whether its therapeutic use is justified, and to learn just why green tea is so effective. Much has been learned, and one of the most exciting discoveries has been the link between green tea and losing weight.

Green tea has been proven to have several connections in the area of weight loss. It helps to speed up the metabolism causing the body to use up more calories, it helps to keep the body from storing calories as fat, and can help suppress the appetite. Green tea and losing weight is also made easier by the fact that green tea is naturally calorie-free itself.

Research done in Switzerland in the 1990s showed that overweight subjects taking a green tea supplement while eating a normal diet became able to burn more calories than those who were not taking the green tea pill. Green tea works to accomplish this by increasing the rate of metabolism in the body, which is called thermogenesis. As well, when using green tea and losing weight, one tends to lose more fat than you would if you were not drinking green tea. This leads to a much healthier body in the end.

The most obvious thing you need to do when using green tea and losing weight is to eat less food, like with any diet plan. Unlike most other plans, green tea will help you with this, as it acts as a natural control on your appetite, telling your brain that you are full after you have eaten food instead of leaving you wanting to overeat.

An obvious benefit of this plan is that you can just replace the drinks you normally drink with green tea and losing weight will be easy! The average coffee shop drink contains many more calories and gram of fat than you should be drinking just to get the benefit of the caffeine in it. Green tea also contains caffeine, although not in as large a quantity as coffee – this is another reason that makes green tea healthier. But it does contain enough to give you a little boost of energy to get you through your morning meetings. Unsweetened, green tea has no caffeine, and like all teas does not contain fat.
