Green tea with overall weight loss efficacy

Green tea antioxidant, because of containing tea polyphenol (Polyphenols), can protect cells, a lot of people know, but green tea being able to reduce weight, in recent years has also become hot, in the end this is only a legend, and really have its effect?

Nutritionist Chen Jinzhi found a lot of research data, found that green tea contains antioxidants “catechins” (Catechins, tea polyphenols in a), in the scientific research on weight loss has obvious effect.

She said: “by a Japanese study conducted in 2001, compared to consumption of different amounts of catechins on the effect of body weight, invited 23 overweight men involved, a group of daily consumption of 483 mg of catechin, another group ate 118.5 mg, two group 75 mg caffeine, in continuous feeding after 12 weeks again, by computer scanning view each part of the body fat, found that a group of edible Gao Er tea effect reducing weight is obvious, regardless of weight, fat, waist circumference were reduced more!”

Green tea can reduce the waist fat?

Green tea in addition to being that can help reduce body fat, the researchers discovered that it also helps reduce the waist fat.Chen Jinzhi quoted another Japanese studies, a total of 240 obese men and women with a big belly, for 12 consecutive weeks of drinking with high doses or low doses of catechin beverages, the daily consumption of 583 mg, 96 mg of the drinking of tea catechins, two groups of drinking caffeine doses comparable (72 to 75 mg).12 weeks later, the whole weight by 1.7 kilograms, the latter only lost 0.1 kilograms; and fat (body fat mass) the former lost 2.3 kilograms, the latter lost 0.5 kg.The researchers measured the waist fat area (especially by computer scanning), found that high doses of a group of common minus 10.3 square centimeters, ordinary dose only minus 0.9 square cm.

A second study participants for diabetic patients, divided into two groups, each were drinking 582 or 96 mg EGCG, 12 weeks later, high dose group waist average weight loss of 3.3 cm, low dose only lost 0.1 cm, and the last research results comparable to.”Although the two groups of people with no overall fatty change, but the waist fat is less, the researchers concluded, catechins may have altered fat distribution characteristics.”Chen Jinzhi said.

Motion + tea polyphenols weight loss effort?

Waist and abdomen obesity has become a central obesity.Because the central obesity can lead to many health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, increased risk, so as to confirm the tea polyphenols on improvement of central obesity effect, the risk will be greatly reduced.Then the researchers asked 132 big belly participants do exercise and diet to lose weight, adding catechins can strengthen the effect of weight loss, the results found that drinking 625 mg EGCG, 39 grams of caffeine plus weekly 180 minutes of exercise in a group, 12 week after the weight loss of 2.2 kg, another group not only drinking tea catechins, caffeine 180 minutes of exercise and weight loss of 1 kg.

Two groups overall fat reduction is no different, but there is a group of drinking tea catechins waist down 7.7%, no drinking tea catechins only lost 0.3%, including the surface fat and visceral fat in waist.As for the pure to subcutaneous fat, drinking tea catechins in a group of minus 6.2%, no catechins in a group of minus 0.8%.

Green tea can indirectly promote the new supersedes the old.

Various studies show tea polyphenols fat burning ability, but in the end is what principle?Chen Jinzhi explains, scientific research that catechins can inhibit in vivo is called a COMT enzyme activity, the enzyme can degrade the adrenaline, and catechins inhibit it, indirectly reduced epinephrine degradation, so that adrenaline can more effectively, helps maintain or accelerate the new supersedes the old., promoting fat decomposition.”Catechin indirectly make the body from fat cells in extraction and burn the fat for body place to need, also make the liver more easily break down fat, it contributes to the reduction of central obesity.”Chen Jinzhi said.

Green tea contains caffeine, caffeine has the same effect of epinephrine secretion characteristics, it also helps to reinforce the new supersedes the old., research shows the increase from 3 to 4% of the energy expenditure.

“It is also found that upper body fat is easy to burn, estimation is waist fat cells to epinephrine with limb fat cells sensitive, so the waist fat is easy to burn, so the drinking of catechins and caffeine from green tea, on the improvement of central obesity has a significant effect.”

Chen Jinzhi added, now most of the research on green tea catechins in which a EGCG (epigallocatechin), viewed independently the effect reducing weight.Green tea catechins are even 70% EGCG, green tea may still have other substances can help weight loss, so more studies are needed to explore and study further confirmed.

Every four to five cups of green tea weight loss

Read the above research data, if you want to drink green tea help to lose weight, should be how to choose, what kind of green tea contains more polyphenols of tea?Chen Jinzhi said, unfermented and fermented tea, green tea black tea contains catechins, just fermentation catechins content is greatly reduced, so the drinking green tea is better.

Chen Jinzhi suggested, we can be as one of green tea daily beverage, instead of sweet drinks.”To a minimal amount of daily drinking eight glasses of water, with about half of that four cups of green tea is absolutely no problem, but also remember that green tea contains caffeine, each cup 250 ml contains about 35 to 50 micrograms, for the avoidance of excessive intake of caffeine and painful head, or lead to insomnia in the evening, should avoid drinking too much tea, to no more than four cups of limit; have insomnia, sleep for eight hours before drinking green tea.”
