Green Tea for Weight Loss

Health Magazine reports that five cups of green tea every day could help you shed twice as much weight. According to the Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that people who had sports drinks with green tea for 12 weeks lowered their levels of triglycerides, a blood fat linked to heart disease.

Catechins (the antioxidants in the tea) are thought to boost energy and enhance fat-burning, and they may influence body composition in other ways.

University of California, Los Angeles reported that 3 cups of green or black tea a day can reduce your risk of stroke by 21%. Both hot and cold teas contain theanine, an amino acid that may block the body’s release of glutamate, which is associated ischemic stroke (the most common kind).
