Weight Loss Tea

Is there really such a thing as weight loss tea?

Recently green tea (or green tea extract) has been widely promoted as a means to help you loose weight.

Numerous Health Benefits of Green Tea

Green tea has long been connected with plenty of health benefits. Among them are:

• Powerful anti-oxidant that boosts your immune system and slows down the aging process
• Regulates blood sugar and diabetes
• Acts as antiviral and thus prevents cavities, tooth decay and bad breath
• Sharpens mental focus and concentration without causing sleeplessness or nervousness
• Speeds up your metabolism and circulatory system
• Lowers cholesterol levels, thus reducing blood pressure

The Secret of Green Tea...

.. lies in its active ingredients. Many scientific studies have proven the beneficial results of green tea due to the following ingredients.

1. Antioxidants: Catechin polyphenols
The so called Catechins and particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) are considered the most effective of all antioxidants. EGCG is a hundred times more effective than vitamin C and still twenty-five times better than vitamin E in protecting your immune system.

2. Caffeine
Green tea contains natural caffeine that stimulates your metabolism.

3. Theanine
Theanine neutralizes the harmful side effects of caffeine and acts as an appetite suppressant, thus reducing your calorie intake :-)

But does Green tea really assist weight loss?

According to some scientific studies, yes it does.

The caffeine together with EGCG raises Thermogenesis (the rate at which calories are burned), and hence forces your body to burn fat faster and more efficiently.

In the weight loss tea study by Linus Pauling Institute, drinking green tea resulted in an increase in energy used by the body of 3-4%. They say this effect of slimming tea is "apparently due to increased fat oxidation and thermogenesis".

Green tea can assist you with weight loss, but it's definitely no magic pill.

Slimming tea will serve you much better, if you combine it with a proper and healthy diet as well as an effective exercise program. Like always, there's no use in drinking weight loss tea and then counteracting the health benefits by living on junk food!

If you'd like to try losing weight with green tea, start with buying the highest quality weight loss tea by Silverleaftea and drinking it instead of regular black tea or coffee.

Weight loss tea helps you lose weight in a variety of ways

• Reducing your appetite (good)
• Stimulating your metabolism (even better)
• Doesn't have any calories (what more can you ask for?)

Well worth trying, if you've got a good diet and exercise program under way. Unfortunately it won't help if all you do is sitting on the couch, watching TV and eating junk food....

As it's a natural product you will not get jitters or shakes like other supplements can give you.

Personally, I think the effects of green tea combined with its superb health benefits for blood sugar, cholesterol, bad breath, dental cavities, and antioxidant effects, make it a great food!

Replace any soda, fruit drinks or coffee with slimming tea and don't sweeten it with sugar! By consistently drinking weight loss tea you will slim down to a leaner, more energetic, and healthier you.
