Lose Belly Fat Faster

Gyokuro Green TeaThought this was interesting: A new study shows that green tea helps you lose tummy fat faster than exercise alone. In fact, the study participants that drank the green tea lost twice as much weight as the participants who didn’t! They averaged 4.4 pounds versus just over 2 pounds. That’s a great incentive alone to add green tea to your diet.

This weight loss is attributed to the catechins in green tea. This is an antioxidant prevalent in green tea that helps with a number of health issues.

But the news gets even better. The article mentions two other benefits to drinking green tea: it may lower the risk of diabetes and decrease the risk of breast cancer in women. We’ve mentioned green tea studies before and the benefits seem to keep piling up. 

So steep yourself a cup of green tea today! And consider it an essential part of your health plan.

I was in one of the teavana stores one day, and the lady told me that actually wulong tea works better than green tea. However, preventing cancer part is pretty nice!! Love teas anyway!

Love the blog. How about a one page PDF file that lists the different types of tea combinations that are mentioned. It would be great to pin up near my tea so that I could look each morning at an easy “cheat sheet” for mixing different blends.

Is there any way to receive via email or an information site that lists all the different types of tea combinations that are mentioned that are put together as samples for tasting in the stores and recipes that others have come up with?

In my humble opinion… to get the best of all worlds, I mix Dragonwell green (which is also VERY energizing), Silver Needle White, and Monkey-Picked Oolong! I add Chamomile or peppermint for the added health benefit! This tea will be great for weight loss… as well as an awesome detox! Plus the Dragonwell really gets me energized!

If you like a more fruity tea… add in your favorite herbal… or substitue the Monkey-Picked Oolong with Kamiya Papaya, Maracuya Passion or Utopian Jewel Oolong! Add some mate (like Lemon Blast) if you are also looking to help suppress the appetite– or if you want extra energy!
