Green Tea and Weight Loss

Weight Loss

The high concentration of polyphenols in green tea helps to oxidize fat and encourage thermogenesis.

Thermogenesis in the body is the rate which the body burns calories. Green tea results in an increase of energy which raises the metabolism, therefore, more weight is lost than normal. As a morning beverage, green tea has a small amount of calories compared to most other beverages that Americans drink in the morning.

The constant barrage of coffee as most peoples’ morning beverage results in a higher amount of daily calories compared to green tea as a beverage in the morning.

A substitution of green tea instead of reaching for a cup of joe will make a big difference in the size of your waistline.
