Fatloss and Green tea

Green tea has polyphenol which reduces excess triglyceride (the synthesized sugar and fat that gives energy in the body). It stimulates your metabolism by providing it with potent antioxidants that could be helpful to your body in many ways. The particular one that aids weight loss is
called Epigallocatechin Gallate or EGCG and together with the caffeine content, it aids in helping the body to use fat as fuel. Green tea also improves endurance during exercise and helps burn more fat at a faster rate.

Side Effects

The most obvious side effect is the caffeine content but it causes harm only when taken in excess; 5 cups or more per day. People who suffer anxiety and bleeding disorders, high blood pressure, glaucoma and diabetes are advised to stay away from caffeinated products.

Pregnant women and nursing mothers are also advised to stay away from caffeine, but if it must be taken, it should not be more than 2cups per day. This is because caffeine can affect the growth and health of the child.

How Should Green Tea Be Taken?

The water should be 85C, that is, pay attention to your kettle. When you hear the sizzling sound that indicates that it is about to boil, take it off the fire and pour it on the green tea leaves and allow to steep for 30seconds – 1 minute, though you might want to ‘wash’ the tea leaves for 10 seconds before brewing.

Measurement should be 5-6grams or 2 teaspoons per 100ml volume of water or it should be at your own preference. Green teas can be re-brewed once or twice.
