To

One of the way of increasing metabolism rate is by drinking Green
Tea.
Green tea also able to produce a significant suppression of food
intake, body weight gain and fat tissue accumulation.
Green tea has been a medicinal beverage in Asia for almost 4,000
years.
So what is Green Tea?
Green tea belongs to a type of non-fermenting tea.
Green tea is divided into fried green tea, baked green tea, steamed
green tea and dried green tea. The steamed green tea is to heat the
tea by steaming; to heat the tea by pan-frying can be divided into
frying, baking and drying, which is called heating by frying,
heating by baking and heating by drying.
Green tea also causes carbohydrates to be released slowly,
preventing sharp increases in blood-insulin levels. This help the
burning of fat.
Green tea contains high concentrations of catechin polyphenols.
These compounds work with other chemicals to intensify levels of fat
oxidation and thermogenesis, where heat is created in the body by
burning fuels such as fat. Drinking Japanese green tea regularly
will increase your metabolism and help burn fat safely and
naturally.
Weight is gained as excess sugars and fats are stored in the body as
fat cells. Green tea catechins can help prevent obesity by
inhibiting the movement of glucose in fat cells. Epigallocatechin
gallate (EGCG) has been found to be especially effective. There is
now good evidence that green tea catechins are related to reductions
in body fat.
EGCG is a powerful antioxidant with positive qualities but a
balanced diet and exercise, lots of it, are of paramount importance
to any weight reduction program.
Green tea is part of Japanese diet. And Japanese have the long
average life span in the world.
