Natural Weight Loss: Green Tea

There is a lot of hype around surrounding green tea and its numerous health benefits, including (but not limited to) weight loss. From books and magazines to show like Oprah, everyone is raving on about green tea. So you ask, what precisely is green tea and what is so amazing about it?

Green tea is acquired from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant and is full of catechin polyphenols, specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is a excellent antioxidant. Despite being green, oolong, and black teas all come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, green tea leaves are steamed, which restricts the EGCG from being oxidized. Oolong and Black tea leaves are fermented, which means the EGCG is converted into other compounds that are not nearly as effectual in fighting and preventing various diseases.

For roughly four thousand years, green tea has been administered by Chinese medine practitioners as a medicine to treat anything from headaches to depression. Today, scientific research is providing hard scientific evidence for the health benefits of consuming green tea. Published in 1994 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute indicated that consuming green tea lowered the risk of esophageal cancer in both Chinese males and women by almost sixty percent. More recently, in 2004, Harvard Medical School researchers found that a compound in green tea slows down the development and reproduction of cancer cells related with Barrett's esophagus (a complaint caused by stomach acid rising up into the esophagus causing the cell's lining in the esophagus to alter, raising the risk of esophageal cancer by thirty to forty times). Additionally, research indicates that consuming green tea lessens total cholesterol levels, as well as boosting the ratio of good cholesterol (HDL) to bad cholesterol (LDL). A few other medical conditions in which consuming green tea is said to be helpful are:

• slowing down potentially harmful blood clotting
• cardiovascular disease
• fighting cavities
• infection
• decreased risk of stroke
• impaired immune function
• cancer prevention
• rheumatoid arthritis

There is also scientific proof showing that green tea also increases weight and fat loss. In the November 1999 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers found that males who were given a mixture of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.
