Losing Weight by Thinking GreenBy: Penny Butler, NaturalHealing.com.au
If you find the taste of green tea difficult to swallow, you can obtain green tea extract in a pill. The 500-milligram capsules should be consumed two or three times each day in order for you to receive maximum benefit. Of course, you might be wondering at this point how much green tea is enough. Some medical experts recommend as many as ten cups a day. Other health specialists say that two to three cups are sufficient. Yet other medical experts recommend splitting the difference, calling for four to five cups of green tea daily. Green tea reduces your "bad" cholesterol count, while enhancing your "good" cholesterol count. As a result, those who drink green tea can substantially increase their consumption of high cholesterol food, yet maintain a relatively low bad cholesterol count. Green tea can also decrease your blood sugar, protecting you against diabetes or at least reducing symptoms of diabetes. A number of studies have been done in order to ascertain the benefits of green tea. For instance, researcher William Rumpler conducted a study in order to determine the effects of green tea consumption on men. The results indicated that the energy expenditure for tea-drinkers was three percent higher after they ingested the tea. However, Rumpler and his colleagues believe additional research needs to be conducted in order to determine the full effect of green tea upon the human body. Of course, in addition to weight loss, there are other advantages to the GreenTea diet. It is believed to be effective in preventing Alzheimer's disease, combating flu and colds, and boosting your immune system. As a result, a number of people drink the beverage strictly for its medicinal value. On a segment of the "Oprah Winfrey" talk show, Dr. Nicholas Perricone said that if you replaced coffee with green tea, you could lose as many as ten pounds in six weeks. Perricone stated, "Coffee has organic acids that raise your blood sugar, raise insulin. Insulin puts a lock on body fat. When you switch over to green tea, you get your caffeine, you're all set, but you will drop your insulin levels and body fat will fall very rapidly. So 10 pounds in six weeks, I will guarantee it." However, note that the physician is not prescribing green tea per se, but rather calling it preferable to coffee. However, it appears clear that green tea is a healthier beverage than coffee. A study published by the American Journal of Clinical Study reports that green tea promotes fat oxidation, and that this process appears to be the result of more than just the caffeine that is a component of the tea. In other words, there appear to be qualities inherent in green tea that foster fat oxidation. It is interesting to note that some people wonder which is preferable: loose-leaf green tea that you buy online or the green tea that you can purchase at the supermarket. Generally speaking, supermarket green tea is considered lower in quality than green tea purchased over the Internet. It has been said that green tea offered on the Web also enables you to get the most out of your money. It appears that green tea is more than just a passing fad. It has emerged as a legitimate health aid-a product which can help you lose weight over the long run. While there is no such thing as a magic fix for weight loss, you should consider adding green tea to your diet, not only for its weight loss value, but for its medicinal properties as well.
