Green Tea for healthy weight loss
April 24th, 2008
Green Tea can help increase metabolism, burn fat and balance blood glucose levels.
Green tea helps aid weight loss by increasing the metabolic rate, causing those who use it to experience greater calorie burn. It is also a powerful anti-oxidant. Green tea may also be useful as a glucose regulator — meaning it slows the rise in blood sugar following a meal. It does this by slowing the action of a particular digestive enzyme called amylase. This enzyme is pivotal in the breakdown of starches (carbs), that can cause blood sugar levels to soar following a meal.
