Benefits Of Green
Tea Extract
Numerous scientific studies have shown the healthy benefits of green
tea extract. Green tea extra has been shown to reduce weight,
help cancer, relieve arthritis pain, and lower cholesterol.
How can one drink do all this? Most experts believe that it is
the powerful antioxidants contained in green tea. In fact, green
tea contains more antioxidants than broccoli or bananas.
Green tea helps with weight loss by increasing the metabolism, which
burns calories faster. It also tricks the body into believing it
is full, thereby reducing your appetite. These benefits can be
derived from drinking the tea or by using the pure extract.
Green tea extract has been shown to reduce cancerous growths and help
cancer patients improve the quality of their life. Sometimes
green tea is one of the few things that their system will
tolerate. Green tea is also proven to reduce prostrate cancer.
Green tea extract will also lower cholesterol without the side effects
of numerous drugs. Studies in Japan have shown that women who
drink as few as two cups of green tea a day have lower levels of bad
cholesterol and higher levels of good cholesterol, without the dizzy
side effects that sometimes accompanies the cholesterol drugs.
Scientists have also shown that if you drink a cup of green tea after
you eat a fatty meal, less of the cholesterol will enter into your
system.
Another benefit of green tea extract is combating arthritis.
Green tea will reduce inflammation, and inflammation will cause
arthritis sufferers to have more pain. This allows the joints to
move more freely.
The benefits of green tea extract are greatest if you take green tea
supplements rather than drink green tea. A study in the December
2004 edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition confirmed
that green supplements get more antioxidants into your bloodstream that
drinking green tea. Two capsules of green tea extract a day can
provide all the benefits of 20 cups of green tea-all you need to
support even difficult health conditions.
Green tea is safe and effective. Take 1 to 3 capsules of green
tea extract every day. It is better to take green tea supplements
in the morning or afternoon rather than at night. In the unlikely
event of stomach upset, take with food.
