Role Of Green Tea In Weight Loss Programs

Green Tea is very commonly used in China since several hundred years as a cure for many ailments. These days, it is used in a broad spectrum of treatments and cures from cancer prevention, weight loss, antioxidant applications to anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Regular intake of a single cup or a capsule of green tea extract a day is all it takes. You should bear in mind that there is no miracle remedy for weight loss.

It is extracted from the plant called Camellia sinensis which is native to Asia. This plant is rich in the substance called epigallochatechin gallate or EGCG. It acts as the main ingredient for destruction of free radicals in our body, the main cause for aging process and disease generation. EGCG also contains antioxidant which helps keep cholesterol levels under control.

It has been proved by scientific studies that green tea can be used in weight loss programs. Ten healthy young men were used as the subjects. Then difference in energy expenditures of different food intakes was observed. It showed that green tea boosted energy expenditure by a almost four percent, quite an increase.

If you are on a weight loss program, green tea is a good alternative to drinking coffee and cream which area high in calories. It provides a two-pronged benefit. While on one hand calorie consumption is controlled, on the other hand your body gets a regular supply of many healthy substances like polyphenols and flavonoids. Caffeine has appetite-suppressant properties. It also contains a small amount of caffeine, which makes it all the more useful for loosing weight.

Statistical reports provide one more benefit of using green tea as a vital ingredient in your daily food intake. It helps reduce fat by inhibiting the effects of insulin. Insulin is known for converting glucose into energy for the body to be stored into fat. By delaying insulin, green tea weight loss programs enable sugar to be sent directly to the muscles for instant use, thus preventing fats from forming.

The process within our body of burning fat and releasing calories is also known as thermogenesis. Low carb weight loss diet plans which use green tea, promote the process of thermogenesis. It is caused by an interaction of caffeine content and catechin polyphenols present in green tea. It is what makes such weight loss programs very effective in stimulating metabolic rates.
