Green Tea is made from the dried and steamed leaves of the Camellia sinesis plant, it can be served hot or cold. These tea leaves are not fermented unlike most other teas. There are many benefits to consuming this tea. Here we will go over some of the advantages of consuming green tea.
Green Tea can boost your metabolism because it has natural active ingredients in it that causes your metabolism to increase. Over a 24 hour period this tea can increase your metabolic rate by 4%. When your metabolism increases you have more energy to get up a be active.
This drink can also increase your ability to burn body fat and helps block the absorption of the fat you consume. This is because green tea prevents insulin spikes and can slow the rise of blood sugar after you eat. Insulin promotes fat storage as it deals with sugar in your blood, so by preventing high insulin spikes there is less insulin to store fat.
Green Tea can also help to reduce your appetite. This is because of the sugar regulating effect of consuming it. Some people consume up to 60 percent less food when they drink this through out the day. Of course everyone is different and you may not see that much of a drop in wanting food.
Try drinking this in the morning instead of coffee. It will leave you feeling energized and ready for the day without having to add cream and sugar like most people do to coffee. It has caffeine in just like coffee but doesn't have all the calories that coffee can have when you add the cream and sugar.
Overall green tea has many advantages. It is not a weight loss solution but it can definitely aid in a weight loss program. Drinking this tea alone will not cause significant weight loss but add it to a diet or workout plan to help see results sooner.
