Green Tea Anyone?

Hi

Do you know that green tea can help you to lose weight?

Studies have shown that green tea helps weight loss by stimulating the body'sthermogenesis process.So when you drink green tea you will use up more energy and burn the fat in your body. The good thing about green tea is
that it does not increase your heart rate.

Many people who are overweight develop hypertension and cardiovascular problems. Since green tea does not put pressure on the heart it is good and safe for them to take it as it
will help them to lose weight. They can also gradually increase their exercise levels without increasing their risk of heart problems and in fact, they will benefit from the exercise and weight loss.

Drinking green tea will help you to burn more calories.

It also contains powerful antioxidants and it can strengthenyour immune system thus protecting you against disease.

However green tea does contain some caffeine so do avoid coffee and
other forms of tea while you are taking it. If you think that you cantake decaffeinated green tea this is not recommended because the chemical processes used to remove the caffeine may destroy the beneficial properties of the tea.

By taking green tea daily you will see a gradual weight loss and better energy levels. If you wish to lose weight faster then you should increase your exercise and watch what you eat. Steer away from food that will make you gain weight.

Green tea is a simple, easy and inexpensive weight control aid that can help you to keep the weight off permanently.

Having said this, there are many types of green tea on the market. There is green tea from Japan, China, Vietnam, etc. There is also green tea mixed with other herbs. However I prefer to take tea that is not mixed and also in leaf form. The green tea from Yunnan in China (Lung Ching - DragonWell)is very fragrant. The Japanese green tea that I tried came in tea bags so to me, it didn't seem to be as fragrant as the leaves steeped in hot water. The Vietnamese green tea also came in leaf form and it was also good.

Another tea which I like is the PuEr tea. It is not green tea but it has good health benefits. This tea is very expensive. In fact the older it is ( in terms of decades ), the more expensive it is. The leaves are tightly packed either in round or oblong slabs. This is the only tea that I can drink without getting insomnia. Green tea also doesn't give me insomnia. One small slab can set you back a few hundred ringgit.

As the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating so you've got to try out the tea for yourself. However, never never add sugar or milk to the tea. Caucasians tend to do that but it's ok if it's Lipton tea or Earl Grey. Certainly not with Chinese tea.
