Green Tea and Weight Loss Table of Contents Is there really a link between green tea and weight loss? Green tea is one of the most popular herbal products on the market. It can help to improve your health generally in a number of ways, but this article is about one of it’s lesser known benefits. The truth is, green tea can help you burn calories and therefore it can help you to lose weight. Let’s not get carried away here. If you eat lots of junk food and don’t exercise, drinking green tea will not make you lose weight. So don’t stop your diet and quit exercising just yet. Green tea is not going to do all the work for you. But it can help. There is a clear and proven link between green tea and weight loss. That link is caffeine, but – and here’s the good bit – it’s caffeine without all the calories. You probably know that caffeine is a stimulant and naturally helps you burn extra calories, but most drinks that contain it also contain a bunch of other stuff that counteracts the calorie burning effect. Coffee, soda, and energy drinks fill your body with fat and calories as well as the caffeine, so they’re not going to help much! But what if the effects of caffeine could be boosted without any of the nasty stuff? ECCG Well green tea contains something called epigallocatechin gallate, or ECCG. The ECCG in green tea increases the effectiveness of the caffeine, so your body burns more calories. So fewer calories in and more burned means that green tea is much more effective than other caffeine sources in helping you lose weight. The link between green tea and weight loss is even stronger than it first appeared! Green tea can help you burn around 70 or 80 extra calories a day. It’s just a little boost, but every little helps, right. But as we all know, every calorie counts! If you did nothing but add green tea to your diet, then over the course of a year you would lose 8 pounds. That’s not much, I know, but at the same time, it’s bad for such a small change. But if you want to lose pounds quickly, it’s clearly not the only answer. What else can green tea do for you? Well, it’s an antioxidant, and that helps your cardiovascular health. So green tea can help reduce the risk of heart problems. It can also help improve your metabolism and control your cholesterol level Some people claim that it can help your mental focus as well (but to be fair, I think the jury is still out on that one). But it seems clear that replacing your coffee with green tea, will improve your general health and help you lose weight. Whether you want to lose weight or not, why wouldn’t you give green tea a try?

Zeleni čaj je ključan za mršavljenje Ne postoji neki magični napitak koji će otopiti višak kilograma, no, neka pića mogu vam pomoći u tome. Dokazano je da je zeleni čaj učinkovit u gubitku kilograma Zeleni čaj je povezan s nizom zdravstvenih prednosti. Ovaj napitak ubrzava metabolizam i pomaže u gubitku kilograma zahvaljujući velikoj količini polifenola, biljnog sastojka koji je povezan s nizom zdravstvenih blagodati, poput ublažavanja upala i mršavljenja. Osim toga, zeleni čaj je bogat i antioksidansom epigalokatehin-3-galat, poznatiji kao EGCG. Antioksidansi štite stanice i molekule od štete koju mogu uzrokovati slobodni radikali. "EGCG pojačava metaboličku aktivnost može spriječiti nakupljanje kilograma te može pomoći u održavanju težine", objasnila je nutricionistica Robin Barrie Kaiden. Dodala je da ova komponenta može pojačati termogenezu - način na koji tijelo koristi energiju za grijanje te može smanjiti apetit. >> Zeleni čaj je prava riznica zdravlja >> Jedno je istraživanje čak otkrilo da je ekstrakt zelenog čaja povećao sagorijevanje kalorija za 4 posto. Treba napomenuti da zeleni čaj sadrži i kofein. Redovito konzumiranje zelenog čaja može poboljšati fizičke performanse zahvaljujući sposobnosti kofeina da pretvara masne kiseline iz tkiva u energiju. Koliko zelenog čaja trebate piti? "Većina studija pokazalo je da dvije do pet šalica zelenog čaja mogu imati izuzetno pozitivne učinke na zdravlje srca i smanjenje rizika od dijabetesa, a također mogu pomoći i u mršavljenju", kazala je nutricionistica Laura Burak. >> 7 razloga zašto je dobro piti zeleni čaj >> No, Burak naglašava metabolizam ne radi isto kod sviju. Istaknula je da svatko treba pronaći pravo dozu za sebe, ali da ne treba pretjerivati. "Otkrijte koja je količina čaja idealna za vas. Za početak možete krenuti s dvije šalice čaja u danu", pojasnila je. "Zbog velike količine antioksidansa i protuupalnih svojstava, zeleni čaj može biti koristan za prehranu, ali neće vas magično učiniti mršavima", pojasnila je Kaiden za Eat this. >> Kada je najbolje piti zeleni čaj? Kaiden navodi da možete dodati i đumbir, ružmarin ili origano jer su i te namirnice izuzetno bogate antioksidansima.
