WEIGHT LOSS FROM GREEN TEA
Drinking Green Tea and Puer Tea to help lose weight has been widely accepted by the Chinese over centuries and is finally catching on in the West as issues related to obesity and concerns over weight loss are becoming more prevalent. Like many Chinese traditions that took centuries before they become popularized in the West such as acupuncture and Taiji, tea drinking has quickly gained traction and is highly recognized by medical experts from across the globe due to the health benefits from tea, including polyphenols, flavenols and catechins.
So why can tea magically help you lose weight? In fact, it’s not magic at all. In the case of Green Tea, it is full of polyphenols, which are properties that remove fatty substances from the body. Additionally, Green Tea contains caffeine, which helps increase the secretion of gastric juice. Polyphenols and caffeine in green tea can increase the gut's ability to decompose fat, reduce blood fat levels, resulting in quickened weight loss.
Moreover, the aromatic compounds in green tea essentially dissolve fat and prevent fat from accumulating in the body. In addition, the vitamin B1, C and caffeine found in green tea can promote the secretion of gastric juice, and help digestion and fat removal. Foliaceous saponin found in green tea also aids in losing weight as well.
Drinking green tea before workouts can also help you increase your fat-burning results simply due to the caffeine in the drink. Caffeine gives you a boost of energy, which may help you work out for a longer period of time. That’s why many athletes take high-caffeine drinks before games. Many studies have found that caffeine's effects on sport-specific endurance are more effective before exercise in moderate quantities for improving endurance. Studies have shown that green tea can help women and men burn 17% more fat in a 30-minute cardio workout if dean beforehand.
PUER TEA FOR WEIGHT LOSS
Puer Tea can produce beneficial bacteria in the fermentation process, which leads to faster weight loss. There is a certain amount of polyphenols and catechins in Puer tealeaves that also produce weight loss effects. Puer Tea acts like a sponge for fat cells and increases the rate at which the body burns fat and dissolves oily substances due to the catechins, Additionally, the polyphenols found in Puer help prevent cancer and regulate blood pressure and sugar in addition to boosting metabolism and help burn fat
BLACK TEA
The polyphenols, sugar, amino acids and pectin in black tea can stimulate saliva, which helps reduce thirst in the heat. To add to that, caffeine can also help regulate body temperature. Caffeine and aromatic substances help increase blood flow to the kidneys, and dilates the kidney vessels, allowing lactic acid, uric acid and other wastes to be excreted more quickly. Imagine getting a new oil change, but for your body's health-that's how we think and experience black tea in relation to understanding its weight loss and overall health benefits.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE TEA CATECHINS?
Understanding the Science Behind Tea and Weight Loss
Catechins are a type of antioxidant most densely found in tea leaves that also improve digestion and reduce fat absorption They are also found in other foods such as red wine, chocolate, berries, and apples but are most prevalent in Green Tea and Puer Tea followed by Oolong tea, white tea and black tea.
There has also been extensive medical research from China regarding other benefits from catechins in tea, such inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. In addition to this, they are able to prevent the activity of free radicals- the molecules that cause cellular damage that can lead to cancer. Catechins are also the main elements that help reduce blood pressure. They can also reduce blood fat and help reduce the risk of getting arteriosclerosis.
