WEIGHT LOSS TIP # 8 DRINK GREEN TEA FOR A SMALLER TUMMY

Researchers report that catechins in green tea blast tummy fat by acting on enzymes that influence the body’s calorie and fat burning mechanism ..And catechins and caffeine together may boost the body’s metabolism.Green tea has 1/3 the caffeine of black tea but has the same level of effect on energy and attentiveness. It is known to have the highest content of polyphenols which have potent antioxidant properties. These polyphenols gobble up free radicals and improve artery function. Studies note that 16 oz per day can cut the risk of death due to cardiovascular disease by 26%. Although it benefits both men and women, the benefits to women are more pronounced (finally!). However, don't drink it with milk because the casein in milk inhibits the beneficial effect of the tea.
