Further, poly phenols and caffeine found in the tea extracts have been able to speed up the heart rate and the metabolism by 4%. Before you go on a green tea kick, you should know the tea will not give immediate weight loss results, but that isn't a reason to chuck it aside.
According to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Green Tea reduced the risk of hypertension by 46-65% of regular consumers apposed to non-consumers of tea.
Other benefits include
- Prevention of rheumatoid arthritis
- Delaying the reaction of gastric and pancreatic lipases -> converting calories into fat
- Rich in vitamin E which slows the aging process
- Improves your immune system
- Contains caffeine to wake you up
If you aren't fan of plain green tea but still want the benefits, you can always try a flavored green tea. Bigelow sells Mango , Mint, Lemon, Blueberry, and Peach. For a sweeter taste, I recommend adding some honey or agave nectar. Finally, for a more refreshing taste try your tea iced! Happy drinking :-)
