    Other Health Benefits

    Green tea has always been known to have various health benefits, but who knew that it could add to weight loss as well?

    A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition express that green tea extract can increase metabolism and fat oxidation of the body. In theory, scientists believe that the weight loss advantages of green tea extracts are due to their caffeine content but the outcomes of the study express otherwise as they discovered that green tea extracts have weight loss advantages beyond that of caffeine.

    In their study, the researchers administered alone the same amount of caffeine as that in green tea extracts but found that it did not make any significant modifications in the body’s overall energy expenditure. This led them to conclude that green tea extracts have ingredients in them that actively interact with each other, promoting increased metabolism and fat oxidation that lead to weight loss.

    Further findings indicated that a certain compound found in green tea extracts might be the ingredient that causes weight loss. These green tea extract compounds, called Flavonoids, may alter the technique the body uses norepinephrine, a hormone that monitors how calories are burned. When flavonoids interact with other green tea extract ingredients, more calories are burned thus contributing to weight loss.

    Another ingredient that actively contributes to the weight loss advantages of green tea extracts is the compound catechin polyphenols. These compounds also interact with other green tea extract ingredients in order to promote weight loss by fat burning and thermogenesis (a way of losing energy by daytime heat).

    The amazing thing about the weight loss benefit of green tea extracts is that it does not have any adverse side-effects. Unlike other herbal items like ephedra and prescription drugs for obesity, green tea extract does not increase the speed of heart rates or raise blood pressure. Not only that, but it also appears that green tea diets may act as a mild appetite-suppressant because of the presence of caffeine.

    Caffeine may be injurious for the body since an surplus of it can cause heart palpitations, hypertension, and insomnia. However, because green tea diets contain only very low levels of caffeine, there is no danger of sustaining these side-effects.

    In this regard, green tea extract is an effective and safer alternative to other weight loss items which may cause harm to the user.

    The study conducted by the University of Geneva on the weight loss benefit of green tea extract implicated that green tea extract can also aid thyroid patients. According to dietitian Lynn Moss, M.S., R.D., green tea extract is a healthier choice for people with thyroid who may be too sensitive to stimulants. Green tea extract can promote weight loss by increasing metabolism without over stimulating the adrenal glands.
