Some people say that green tea is a miracle when it comes to boosting belly fat loss. While it will not provide overnight results there seem to be some significant benefits to green tea.
Green tea contains approximately 27% of the antioxidant catechins. Catechins have been shown to help burn fat better by boosting fat metabolism. Catechins also might help with endurance too according to some studies. Catechins and the other antioxidants found in green tea can help with reducing inflammation, regulating cholesterol, fighting heart disease and preventing some types of cancer.
Green tea also contains natural caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to help boost fat loss and endurance.
Some studies have shown that daily consumption of green tea can help increase fat loss, especially abdominal and subcutaneous abdominal fats. The way that green tea works is not totally understood. Some believe that it works by speeding up the rate at which fat is burned. Green tea may also help lower diabetes risk by helping with insulin sensitivity and regulating glucose. Keeping glucose and insulin levels regulated also helps with fat loss. Long term daily consumption of green tea may also help decrease the risk of breast cancer according to other studies.
For maximum health benefit at least 4 to 5 cups of green tea per day should be consumed along with following a sensible and healthy diet. If that seems like too much tea for you to drink then there are supplements available. However, it seems best to actually drink the green tea freshly brewed to get the maximum benefits. Some people find that drinking green tea on its own to be too bitter; one way to cut the bitterness of the green tea without adding a sweetener such as sugar or honey is to brew the green tea along with fruit flavored herbal teas. Another tea with significant health and fat burning benefits is oolong tea. However, common black tea does not appear to have the same benefits.
