How Tea Can Help With Weight Loss

Green tea may help reduce body fat by 1.6 percent, according to a recent study published by the National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. In this study, fourteen men were divided into two groups - a control group and a group that took 571 milligrams of extract of decaffeinated green tea.


Note that the study was conducted in men with an average age of 21 years and required for the regular cycle for the duration of the study.



But the real question is, how to use tea in weight loss?



We keep hearing about the tea as a good drink for those who want to lose those extra pounds, but what's the science behind this statement?


Experts say that, especially green contains catechins --a type of antioxidant that has fat burning properties. A 2009 study shows green tea catechins and caffeine contained in drinks help regulate body weight.


It was recalled in this study that these two components work synergistically. But what about the study on green tea decaffeinated above?


The evidence for green tea and fat-burning effects are mixed and often read a series of scientific claims that are against each other or at least have different or contrary details.


According to an article published by Penn State, in April 2014, green tea and exercise helps in weight loss and the combination also strengthens the overall health of a person.


Fat diet, decaffeinated green tea and exercise



Research by the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State, said mice on a diet rich in fat, but also received decaffeinated tea extract experienced a weight loss and improved overall health.


During the 16-week study, mice also exercised regularly. The reduction in body weight was 27.1 percent with a significant reduction in abdominal fat of 36.6 percent.


In terms of health benefits, the study shows a decrease in insulin resistance in mice - an important benefit for people with diabetes. Previous studies on green tea show that a compound found in this type of tea also has the ability to kill cancer cells.


This compound, scientists say, is epigallocatechin-3 also known as EGCG.


Human trials with green tea showed an average weight loss of 1.31 kg, according to Penn State - giving weight watchers a good reason to drink tea more regularly.


If you remember the study of 14 men, which has been used decaffeinated green tea, the study results show that the absence of Penn State caffeine increases the effects of regular exercise.


This was confirmed by the Scientific food, Joshua Lambert, which leads us to the conclusion that the decaffeinated tea works well for people who exercise regularly.


Other types of tea and weight loss



The tea and its effects on the reduction of body mass have been studied in a number of universities around the world, but what about other types of tea? Is it possible that there are other teas that you can drink to lose weight?


A variety called Wuyi Oolong tea is said to be a good supplement for weight loss, but according to experts, the science does not support this claim.


Pu-erh, a type of black tea, on the other hand, is said to prevent weight gain, based on an animal study. It also reduces LDL cholesterol according to the same study.
