The Benefits of Drinking Green Tea.

Is any other food or drink reported to have as many health benefits as green tea? The Chinese have known about the health benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. 

Here are just a few health conditions in which drinking green tea is known to be helpful:

• cancer
• rheumatoid arthritis
• high cholesterol levels
• cardiovascular disease
• infection
• preventing tooth decay

• impaired immune function

What makes green tea so special? 

The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.

 Benefits of Green Tea for fitness and fat Loss:

• Appetite Control.
• Increase in metabolism during and after exercise.

How much green tea should you drink?

I recommend 4-5 cups of freshly brewed green tea a day. Bottled green tea is not recommended. Bottled green tea contains less antioxidants and usually more sugar and additives (if sugar free).

Drinking non calorie beverages like green tea and water will surely aid you in reaching your fat loss goals!
