Benefits of Green Tea – Increase Fat Loss part III
Another study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, was made with a test group of 38 overweight men for 12 weeks.
After the first two weeks the men were divided into two groups:
- the first group drank one bottle of green tea (containing 690 mg of catechins)
- the other group drank one bottle of oolong tea (I’ll talk about it later, for now I will only say it contains 22 mg catechins – a lot less that green tea, isn’t it)
Each man was given one bottle of green tea (oolong tea) a day.
At the end of the study period the test group given green tea had significantly lower body weight and fat, lowered BMI and had lost a few centimeters form their waist circumference, compared to the group given the oolong tea.
Besides the weight loss and fat loss benefits of green tea, the men drinking green tea also had significantly lowered damage to LDL cholesterol by free radicals, which brings us to the next health benefits of green tea.
