Green tea can help you lose weight

You might wonder, how can drinking green tea help you lose weight?

Green tea originates from China and is still widely drunk all over East Asia. In history, green tea has been attributed many positive effects: among others that frequent usage would have a positive effect on the chance of heart diseases, cancer and weight loss.

How does it help you lose weight? Well, first, green tea stimulates the metabolism. This means when you drink green tea on a regular basis, you will burn more calories. Secondly, green tea helps regulate your glucose level. This means after having a meal, it prevents sugar levels from going up too fast. In general, it helps prevent extreme up and downs in your glucose level. Also, it may help reduce your appetite because basically you are filled up on tea. Expert opinions vary, but you should take in between three and five cups of green tea per day in order to see a permanent weight loss over time. This also assumes you drink less coffee per day (tea is healthier!). Five cups per day might seem a lot, but green tea pills or green tea extracts will do the job as well.

Green tea won’t solve all your weight loss problems, though it will contribute. It does contain caffeine, so be cautious if you don’t manage caffeine that well!
