Green tea, a miracle medicin from the nature itself!

1. Weight loss
This is the major cause I use green tea - but as you can see below - there is also other benefits linked to it ;)
Did you know that green tea is the main ingredient (and sometimes the only ingredient) in products sold as fat burners?
Green tea increases the metabolism, and the polyphenol found in green tea works to increase fat oxidation.
So yep: It increases metabolism, especially the use of fat (fat burning) and decreases the appetite!

What's not to like with that? :))


2. Cancer
There is a allot of research supporting that a regular consumption of green tea prevents certain types of cancer. Especially esophageal cancer.
It protects you from carcinogenic substances, by protecting the bodys own DNA from aging/disorientation.
It's also said that green tea directly can kill cancer cells without damaging surrounding tissue (the support for this is smaller).




3. Hearth disease
Research supports a decrease in risk for heart disease when/if you drink 5 or more cups a day. This also concerns the development of diabetes type 2.
Green tea reduces inflammation in the body.
Chronic (small) inflammation in the blood vessels, are the process in the blood vessels leading to heart disease.

4. Diabetes
By helping the body to regulate glucose levels, it slows the rise of blood sugar after eating. This prevents high insuline spikes --> which results in fat storage.
By preventing fat storage, you will also have less abdominal fat - to much abdominal fat is a well known risk factor for both diabetes and heart disease.



5. Cholesterol
Green tea reduces the bad cholesterol, and improves the ratio of good and bad cholesterol. (Again - prevents heart disease)

6. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
By delaying damage / protecting brain cells from dying and and restoring damaged brain cell - its said that green tea can have a delaying effect to the deterioration caused by Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

7. Tooth decay
The chemical antioxidant "catechin" in tea, can destroy/prevent the development of certain bacteria and viruses that causes throat infection, dental caries and other dental conditions.

8. Blood pressure
Green tea prevents high blood pressure by helping the blood vessels to relax, and preventing formation of plaques and stiffening of the blood vessels.



9. Depression
Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves. This is a substance provides a relaxing and tranquilizing effect.




10. Anti viral and anti bacterial
The teas catechins have a strong antibacterial and antiviral effect, making the effective in treating everything from influenza to cancer. It has also been shown to inhibit the spread of many diseases.

Drink green tea, train hard, eat right - and one day your abs will say: " HELLOOO!"

I'm on it! Are you?? ;)
