Weight Loss
 

Although it is hard to believe that green tea can help in weight management, it is in fact very effective and it has been scientifically proven. The compounds that affect weight loss are catechins (of which 50% are made up of EGCG) and caffeine.

Caffeine and EGCG helps in weight loss by increasing our metabolism and encourage fat exertion. EGCG can also regulate our blood sugar levels and control our food cravings. Lastly, EGCG and caffeine also makes it harder for the conversation of nutrients to fat and reduce our body absorption of dietary fat.

With boosted metabolism, we can exercise longer because our body releases more energy. This way, we can burn off more calories and build more muscle mass. Our metabolism rate related to the amount of muscle we have, so having more muscle mass makes it easier to lose weight and stay in shape.

Researchers found out that exercise coupled with drinking green tea will have better weight loss result. They also found out that those who exercised and drank green tea burned energy and fat even during rest.
