Green tea is so much more than just a tea. It provides numerous health benefits, but it’s best known for its power to speed up the fat-frightening metabolism. There are even researches which show that people who exercise and consume this tea lose twice as much weight as those who just exercise without consuming it.
This means that consuming ingredients with green tea flavor won’t help you lose your excess pounds.
This leads to the question of what kinds of green tea will help you reap the fat-fighting powers of epigallocatechin gallate. But also, does the temperature have any effect on the green tea potency? Is green tea extract effective? Keri Glassman, registered dietitian and Women’s Health’s nutrition expert, has the answers to these questions.
Are The Flavored Green Teas Providing the Same Benefits as Green Tea?
Glassman explains that the addition of flavors shouldn’t reduce the benefits of green tea. Some of these flavored green teas are cranberry green tea, pomegranate green tea, etc. But, they will have higher-calorie content than the unflavored ones, if the flavoring includes sugar. She recommends Numi’s Jasmine Green Tea, and avoiding green teas with any added artificial sweetener or sugar.
Is the Brand of Green Tea Significant?
Green teas from different brands can contain tea leaves with different quality, as well as different number of additional unnecessary ingredients. So, yes, the brand of green tea does matter. Just make sure you choose brands which don’t add artificial preservatives and use only natural ingredients. Also, even though it does provide various health benefits, green tea is not a great source of vitamins!
Another thing to keep in mind is to drink your cup of green tea without adding any sugar, as this will mess up with its powers. Some of the brands than meet these criteria are Yogi or Traditional Medicinals.
What about Iced Green Tea?
Any iced tea can be diluted in water, including this one. So, even though it might be the same tea only colder, you’ll get the maximum weight-loss properties if you drink it freshly preparеd. To make yourself a nice cup of green tea, pour hot water (right before it boils, when the small bubbles start to form) over the tea bag, and let it steep for 2-4 minutes.
Can It Go Bad?
Even though green tea can’t spoil, it’s always better to use it as fresh as possible. If you use tea bags or loose tea, Glassman recommends drinking them within 6 months. Older teas lose the power of its antioxidants.
Will a Green Tea Extract Do the Job?
If you’re not in a tea mood, you can get the same benefits by adding green tea extract to water. Glassman explains that 1 milliliter of green tea extract will give you the benefits of consuming around 8-10 cups of green tea rich in antioxidants, although this depends on the concentration of the formula.
One last thing… you should try this “7-second
hack” that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…
“All this by a 7-second
hack?” I asked.
I met an old friend for
lunch last month and I was super impressed with how good she looked.
She said, “It’s not so much
about the “7-second hack”, but more about how it removes built-up toxins inside
your body — to repair your body’s slow metabolism and to ignite your body’s
natural ability to burn fat and improve your health and appearance. ”
Even though I was
skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I
gave it a shot and watched the same video shedid.
Well, it’s only a couple
weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body
overnight”…
They’re right – it actually
took me 16 days to lose 22 pounds.
Now it’s my girlfriends
asking ME what I’M doing differently 💅
Imagine waking up every
morning full of energy and loving what you see in the mirror…
Imagine enjoying the foods
you love: pasta, wine, or even a dessert — completely guilt-free.
And imagine feeling good
and living your life without obsessing about every single calorie you eat…
All while knowing your
health is being protected by one of the most powerful natural healing rituals
ever discovered.
