Green Tea
Green tea contains a number of things that are reported to be very healthful for you. Among these are:
• Protecting skin from ultraviolet radiation
• Protection against a number of different cancers
• Increased life span
• Protection of the brain
• Increased antioxidant levels
• Theanine has been reported to negate the jittery effect of caffeine, and heighten mental acuity and some have even said give a relaxed but aware state.
• Last but not least are increased fat metabolism .
This increased fat metabolism is what is of most interest to people wanting to lose weight. It simply means the rate at which you burn calories and the body's ability to burn fat. The studies seem to point to a connection between the caffeine in green tea and the epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which causes a boost in noradrenaline. Noradrenaline helps your body boost your metabolism and suppress your appetite.
I have actually known for a long time that it has many benefits, and now that I diet and eat well I thought it would be a good idea to go and buy some green tea and drink it during the day with artificial sweetners.
Fantastic i LOVE green tea :)
i find it also helps with my coffee addiction hehe
