Weight Loss Tea

Weight Loss Tea

The Chinese have been using weight loss tea for a lonnnnng time and have passed down this tradition through a lot of generations.  Not only for a weight loss tea but green tea has so many health benefits, it’s up there at the top with superfoods.

Green Tea Health Benefits and Weight Loss Tea

Green tea is packed with flavanoids that are packed with antioxidants.   It’s main one is EGCG which has been tested in helping to fight cancer as well.  There are many many studies that show how effective green tea is to find cancer, weight loss, Alzheimer’s preventions, overall health and a lot more.

Benefits of Green Tea the Weight Loss Tea from Different Studies

  • Increases Fat Oxidation which Improves Fat Loss
  • Improved Digestion
  • Lower Bacterial and Viral Infections

The list is very long for all the studies and improvements green tea can make.    A lot of these studies are based on drinkers in Asian countries that drink around 3 cups a day.   Although smaller dosages have great benefits as well.

Some Green Tea from China Has Pesticides

There has been tests for awhile now done on pesticides in Green Tea.  Some have high results and some have low results of pesticides.   For me personally I think we get enough pesticides, pollution and others chemicals that I just like to cut them out whenever I can.   I know others that don’t really care and to each his own, whatever works.   I like to go with 100% organic tea and my favorite and best tasting is Tava Tea.

I’m pretty hooked on it and I think it’s a really good weight loss tea that has helped me feel really good overall.   Give green tea a try and let me know how you like it as a weight loss tea and just overall health benefit?

More Green Tea Information

This website is geared more towards weight loss but I also want to share some more findings on green tea because I love it so much and think more people should get into the habit of using it.  It is just packed with so many health benefits and is considered a super food/super drink that I think it should be talked about more.

  • High Antioxidants

Antioxidants are found in many different foods and in high concentration in green tea, antioxidants play a major role in fighting aging, cancer, heart disease, memory problems (Alzheimer’s), Parkinson’s and much much more.  Oxidation is the big enemy, it’s what cause fruits to go bad and things to get rancid along with harming your health.  Oxidation is caused by free radicals, so to make a long story short antioxidants go around and neutralize free radicals so they don’t cause damage to your cells, organs and overall health.

Green Tea Study With Antioxidants

Here is one of the many studies of antioxidants increasing when drinking green tea.   Two groups were controlled in eating a diet, one group stuck to the diet and the other group consumed two cups of green tea daily containing around 250 mg of catechins.  After drinking green tea for 42 days straight there was a significant increase in antioxidant levels and a significant decrease in oxidative damage to the lymphocytes.

  • Cancer

Cancer is growing at a alarming rate and while researchers look to find a cure, green tea is a good prevention tool to help your body fight the onset of cancer.   Researchers wanted to find out what it is that really helps green tea battle cancer and one of the elements they found is ECGC.  ECGC is a catechin that is higher in green tea than other teas and inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR).  Cancer needs Dihydrofolate to grow and that’s what makes green tea so effective is that it stops dihydrofolate from growing and spreading.   There are tons and tons of studies showing green teas aid in fighting cancer.
