Green Tea Diet For Weight Loss

I will keep only the Chinese people's green tea experience for later on in my article. That's why I will skip the past and go to present days. Green Tea has a long history, but I am sure everyone is aware of it, and is already bored to death reading about it.
What is Green Tea Diet?
You may take green tea as a drink, pill or weight loss patch. A Green Tea Diet is the regular intake of green tea.
Health benefits of Green Tea Diet
Although green tea has been used for more than 4000 years in China for treating a wide variety of ailments, I will list some recent medical and scientific researches into the health benefits of green tea diet in short:
+ anti aging effect
+ refreshing effect
+ lowers high cholesterol levels
+ lowers blood sugar level
+ promotes dental health
Clinical tests have shown that Green Tea:
+ prevents cancer by inhibiting the growth of new cancer cells and killing existing ones + lowers high blood pressure and prevents hypertension + lowers risk of atherosclerosis + protects the heart and prevents cardiovascular disease + thins blood and prevents thrombosis, which is one of the causes of heart attacks and stroke
Green Tea Diet also helps you:
+ protect against Alzheimer's disease + prevent rheumatoid arthritis + improve insulin sensitivity in Type 2 Diabetes + improve immune system defenses to fight against viruses (such as flu) + promotes dental health
What makes green tea diet so special?
Green tea extract is one of the best antioxidants. It's all about the great antioxidant effect of the green tea extract.
Those free radicals are result from metabolism and have bad oxidative effect that can seriously damage your body cells. The antioxidant effect of green tea extract is due to the green tea flavonoid polyphenols (also called bioflavonoids) that protect your body sells from the damaging free radicals.
The super antioxidant - Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG)
The polyphenols EGCG antioxidant is the most powerful compound of green tea extract. It is 100 times more potent antioxidant than Vitamin C and E.
EGCG also may prevent thrombosis, which is one of the causes of heart attacks and stroke. Clinical tests have shown that EGCG inhibits the growth of new cancer cells and kills some existing ones without damaging the normal cells.
Green Tea weight loss
To get rid of fat you either need to lower you food intake (follow a diet plan), or increase your energy expenditure (do exercising).
That makes Green Tea Diet a very smart choice for all people who hate strict dieting, or are tired of starving, or everyday exercising. The green tea weight loss effect is due to the EGCG antioxidant that increases energy expenditure and accelerates fat burning.
Green tea weight loss diet is a great way for everyone to lose weight easily and naturally, without any negative side effects.
