By Jeffrey Singer


Green tea extract weight loss benefits seem to have been a hot topic to talk about among the health specialists. So how does green tea work to assist men and women slim down? What are medical reports to compliment the claim?

There could be quite a few factors for gaining weight. But it boils down to two factors. First is the intake of fat or food which will become fat. Second is the degree of burning fat. Tea helps with both variables.

Green tea extract includes powerful anti-oxidants named catechins. Of the many catechins, epigallocatechin gallate generally known as EGCG assists with fat loss the best. EGCG promotes thermogenesis which is the activity of creating heat in body. This increases rate of metabolism which speeds up the process of burning fat. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, tea accelerates metabolism by 4 percent.

Japanese tea experts had a human experiment to analyze tea weight loss benefits. Thirty eight males participated for the research. 50 percent of the participants received green tea extract as part of daily food intake and the other half received just the daily food. After 12 weeks, participants with green tea extract diet had noticeable reduction in body fat and waistline compared to the group of participants without the tea extract.

Green tea also helps with limiting the amount of food intake. In a laboratory test, green tea extract was provided to one group of mice and placebo was supplied to another group. After seven days, the group which received tea extracts loss craving for food and lowered their consumption by 60 percent. Less calories resulted in fat loss.

According to the scientists, the reduction in craving for food was due to the control of blood glucose level. Tea's Antioxidants let sugar to enter the bloodstream at a slower speed which often avoids abrupt surges in insulin. People with excessive blood glucose level will probably feel more hungry and fatigued. Increased managed sugar circulation aids with avoiding body fat storage and food craving.

Last tips for individuals interested in trying green leaf tea as a weight reduction product is to be sure to consume green tea without additives. Many of the iced tea refreshments available in a grocery store consist of additives that include sugar. This defeats the objective of reducing weight. It is most beneficial to produce your own tea and maybe add pure citrus juice such as lemon juice to improve antioxidants. If preparing tea is too much work then try taking green tea supplements. Many supplements on the market today are sugar-free plus some include vitamins for added health advantages.
