Green tea has significant healing powers and may lower cholesterol, slow up the
wrinkle process, and fight certain cancers. It may also help shed those unwanted
pounds! While black tea and oolong tea do contain flavonoids and additional antioxidants.
green tea is an even better source of these health boosters because it is an unfermented
tea.However, even oolong tea has been associated with slightly accelerating the
metabolism (by 3% or 67 calories per day) in health studies.
Studies on the health benefits of green tea pointed to an increase in metabolism
and fat burning of 78 calories per day involving adults. Depending on an individual's
size, of course, green tea burns different amounts of calories - more calories where
more weight is involved, and less calories where less weight is involved. The specific
amount of calories burned depends on the current weight of the individual, but not
size alone.
Keeping this in mind, an individual's 'calorie burn OR metabolism rate' is continuously
affected by other factors - such as food combining, rate of physical activity for
the day and so forth. Researchers continue searching for a green tea weight loss
link through studies.Perhaps we'll eventually discover the connection between weight
loss and green tea. Could it be the caffeine in the green tea? The amount of tea
that is consumed each day? Do other foods boost the health benefits of green tea?
