Green Tea and weight loss!

Looking for something to drink other than water….and more water? The MediSlim diet is definitely not in short supply of beverages, but if you need an additional idea, keep on reading!

Green tea contains a range of different compounds, including:

• B vitamins

• folate

• magnesium

• flavonoids

• other antioxidants

It has been associated with several health benefits, including:

• reducing cholesterol

• improving heart functioning

• reducing Alzheimer’s disease risk

• managing type 2 diabetes

• having anti-cancer properties

Drinking between 2 and 3 cups of hot green tea throughout the day should be sufficient for supplementing weight loss. The exact amount will vary from person to person, depending on how much caffeine they consume and their natural metabolism.

Green tea comes in a number of varieties but, for weight loss, there are unlikely to be significant differences between them. Plain, minimally processed green teas are likely to have retained the richest nutritional content.

Green tea is considered safe to consume. However, care should be taken in some cases, as large doses of caffeine can pose problems for those at risk of heart problems or with high blood pressure.
