			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Avatrim dietary supplement</strong> is a new revolutionary weight loss product. Combine one capsule of Avatrim twice a day with a healthy food diet plan and activity plan and you will be on your most successful weight loss program. </p>
<p><img align="left" hspace="20px" src="http://101greentea.com/images/avatrim-dietary-supplement.jpg" alt="Avatrim Dietary Supplement" /><a href="http://www.101greentea.com/"><strong>Avatrim dietary supplement</strong></a> contains natural ingredients and is specially designed to support your healthy diet by controlling your appetite, increasing your body metabolism and your energy levels.</p>
<p>The way Avatrim affects your body probably reminds you of green tea extract benefits, right? And it could not be any other way as green tea extract is one of the main ingredients. Here is a full list of the great <a href="http://www.101greentea.com/2006/05/04/green-tea-extract-health-benefits/">benefits of green tea extract</a>, in case you have forgotten some of them.<br />
<span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>I will honest with you â€“ Avatrim is pure green tea extract combined with some vitamins, amino acids and a few natural ingredients, which is actually the best thing about Avatrim. You can see the <a href="http://www.101greentea.com/">full list of Avatrim ingredients</a> with detailed reviews about each ingredient.</p>
<p>Avatrim dietary supplement benefits: </p>
<p>- Increase Thermogenesis<br />
- Enhance fat oxidation<br />
- Burn fat safely and effectively<br />
- Increase your energy and metabolism<br />
- Control your appetite<br />
- Lower cholesterol</p>
<p>Will Green Tea Avatrim diet work for you?</p>
<p>Of course it will. Avatrim dietary supplement has a green tea extract after all, which has worked for so many people all around the world, so it will help you, too. </p>
<p>Avatrim weight loss program</p>
<p><a href="http://www.101greentea.com/">Avatrim weight loss program</a> has 3 main parts &#8211; the Avatrim Formula, the Food Diet Plan, and the Activity Plan. </p>
<p>Taken together, the overall effect of all three major program parts is cumulative and very powerful. Thatâ€™s why Avatrim weight loss program is often called the one of the correct ways to lose weight and keep it off.</p>
<p>Itâ€™s very sad that almost 95% of all people on conventional diets gain the lost pounds back and sometimes they even put on some extra. </p>
<p>Donâ€™t worry, Avatrim weight loss program wonâ€™t take you to those 95%. With green tea Avatrim diet you could be from the other 5% successful weight losers.

<p><a href="http://www.101greentea.com/">Visit Avatrim official website</a> and order your first bottle of Avatrim dietary supplement â€“ 1 bottle trial package is enough for one month supply.</p>
<p>However, there is a great promotional offer going on now for ordering 2 or more Avatrim bottles at great discount prices. Itâ€™s a limited time offer, so hurry up and take advantage of it as soon as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am really sorry for not being around for a while, but I had a reason. I allowed you &#8211; our regular readers and users of Green Tea 300 &#8211; to experience the great benefits and weight loss effect of this amazing product. </p>
<p>Now, when I am back here, I expect you also be here and share your experience and thoughts about <a href="http://www.weight-loss-advisor.com/links/green-tea-free-trial.php">Green Tea 300</a> weight loss system. </p>
<p>There is something Iâ€™d like to share with you&#8230; </p>
<p>When it comes to whether green tea is healthy, a lot of questions arise. Recently I came across a few very important ones: <strong>Is green tea good for helping to get pregnant? Can you drink green tea if you are pregnant? Is it safe to drink green tea while pregnant?</strong><br />
<span id="more-38"></span><br />
I am sorry if I am gonna disappoint you, but my answers to all questions are NO. </p>
<p>Despite its numerous health benefits, a recent research has shown that green tea might have some serious side effects on pregnant women. </p>
<p>It is all about the active ingredient of green tea (EGCG) that might affect the healthy development of the baby, and more specifically the babyâ€™s use of folate. And as most of you ladies know, the folate is very important for pregnant women, as it prevents some common birth defects called neural tube defects that affect the brain.</p>
<p>In short, the connection between the green tea main ingredient (EGCG) and the neural tube defects is that: the EGCG binds the enzyme DHFR and inactivates it. This enzyme is involved in folate uptake. And when it is inactivated, the protection afforded by folate over the healthy development of the baby might be reduced (the baby canâ€™t absorb folate properly).  </p>
<p>The real problem of green tea and its negative side effect on pregnant women is that EGCG is chemically similar to a compound called methotrexate. This methotrexate kills cancer cells by binding with the enzyme DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase). This enzyme is involved in the folate uptake (folate pathway) â€“ a natural process of folate transformation into a form that can be used by the body.</p>
<p>Because of this chemical similarity the EGCG in green tea also binds to the enzyme DHFR, which causes deactivation of the enzyme. When this enzyme is inactivated, the ability of the body to use folate is seriously affected, as is the folate absorption by the baby. </p>
<p>According to the research two cups of <a href="http://www.weight-loss-advisor.com/links/green-tea-free-trial.php">green tea 300</a> daily can stop cancer cells growing. But it is still not clear how much the folate absorption is affected by these two cups of tea. This question will be answered by future researches.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are searching for green tea caffeine, then you are already aware of that green tea contains caffeine, but do you know how much caffeine is in a cup of green tea?</p>
<p><strong>How much caffeine is in a cup of green tea?</strong></p>
<p>A cup of green tea contains three to four times less caffeine than a single cup of coffee. That means approximately 20-30 mg of caffeine in an 8 oz. cup of green tea compared to 100 mg and even more caffeine in an 8oz. cup of coffee. Here is a small list for you to compare green tea to coffee and other types of green tea:</p>
<ul>
<li>A cup of coffee contains 100 mg</li>
<li>Black tea contains 40 to 50 mg</li>
<li>Oolong (red) tea contains 25 to 35 mg</li>
<li>Green tea contains 20 to 30 mg </li>
<li>Decaf black tea contains only 4 mg</li>
<li>Decaf green tea contains only 4 mg</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Green tea &#8211; an alternative to your daily cup of coffee</strong></p>
<p>If you are wondering whether green tea could be an alternative to your daily cup of coffee, then the answer is â€œYESâ€, but ONLY in case you wanna lower and gradually cut back on you high daily caffeine intake.</p>
<p>If you drink two or more cups of coffee every day (like most people, including me), with two to four cups of green tea daily, in fact your caffeine intake would be equal to one cup of coffee daily.</p>
<p>Thatâ€™s great because youâ€™ll be drinking green tea three or more times and will feel as refreshed as if you are drinking coffee. But thatâ€™s not all, because the total refreshing effect of green tea is not its only benefit. <a href="http://www.101greentea.com/2006/05/03/green-tea-extract/">Green tea extract</a> (rich in catechin polyphenols and caffeine) increases the energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans, which helps people lose weight â€“ the most important benefit of green tea, for which itâ€™s so popular and most wanted. </p>

<p><strong>How green tea caffeine actually works?</strong></p>
<p>The green tea caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, respiratory, cardiac, and skeletal muscle systems. If you take it in moderation it has mild stimulant effect on kidney and also causes coronary artery dilation and smooth muscle relaxation. In excess amounts can cause insomnia and digestive problems.</p>
<p><strong>Green tea caffeine â€“ is it good for everyone?</strong></p>
<p>An interesting fact about caffeine consumption is that itâ€™s not harmful to the cardiovascular system and does not aggravate hypertension, which makes green tea harmless for people with cardiovascular or hypertension problems.</p>
<p>However people who have heart, kidney or anxiety problems should avoid green tea. Itâ€™s also not recommended for people who suffer stomach ulcers. </p>
<p>Breastfeeding women should not drink any caffeine containing beverages, because it could cause sleep disorders in babies and infants. As for the pregnant women â€“ they could take some green tea in small amounts and be careful not to exceed the amount of 400 mg of caffeine (more than 6 cups of green tea), because this could cause a miscarriage and some other serious side effects on pregnant women.  </p>

<p>Caffeine may interact with some prescription drugs, such as blood pressure medications and drugs treating depression, oral contraceptives, sedatives  etc.</p>
<p>If you take any of these or other medications, please first consult a health professional before start taking green tea.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Green tea patches</strong> are part of one of the most successful weight loss programs â€“ the Green Tea 300 weight loss system. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.weight-loss-advisor.com/links/green-tea-free-trial.php"><strong>Green Tea 300 weight loss system</strong></a> contains high-potency Green Tea Patches and Green Tea Drink that are great source of polyphenols &#8211; one of the most powerful antioxidants. </p>
<p>The polyphenols antioxidant powers are due to the so called â€œsuper antioxidantâ€ â€“ EGCG, which is 100 times more potent and powerful antioxidant than vitamin C and E. EGCG eliminates free radicals, which have very negative effects over your overall body health. </p>
<p>To avoid the negative effects of free radicals and to obtain fast weight loss results, you need to take your daily serving of Green Tea 300 that contains 300 mg of polyphenols. That equals to drinking 30 cups of regular green tea â€“ really inconvenient and time consuming. </p>
<p>With GreenTea300 all you need to do is to simply put on a green tea patch on your skin and youâ€™ll have 48 hours of constant green tea supply to your body through your skin, directly into your blood. This way there is no way to forget to drink any of the 30 cups of green tea for the day, huh? Right? </p>
<p>The other alternative with Green Tea 300 is to mix the instant green tea powder packets with hot or cold water and drink it. This way youâ€™ll be also supplied with high-potent <a href="http://www.101greentea.com/2006/05/03/green-tea-extract/">green tea extract</a> â€“ 300 mg of polyphenols. Instead of drinking 30 cups, you drink only one, and you definitely canâ€™t forget to drink one cup, right? </p>
<p>I am sure you know all the <a href="http://www.101greentea.com/2006/05/04/green-tea-extract-health-benefits/">benefits of green tea</a>, so I will focus only on the benefits of using a green tea patch itself:</p>
<p>Unlike taking green tea instant drink or green tea capsules orally (they are also available on the market), green tea patches release their active green tea polyphenols compounds through your skin &#8211; directly into your blood. </p>
<p>By using green tea patches, you are less likely to have nausea and other side effects of oral intake of green tea capsules, but I am not saying that youâ€™ll have those side effects for certain if you take green tea capsules. </p>
<p>With <strong>green tea patches</strong> youâ€™ll have constant level of green tea supply to your blood for the whole 48 hours. </p>
<p>This way you will never forget to take your green tea capsule or drink your green tea instant drink during your busy and stressful daily life. </p>
<p>I heartily recommend you to give the Green Tea 300 weight loss program a try, and I assure you, it will change your life for ever! </p>
<p>You will feel healthier and happier like never before. Using green tea patches and drinking green tea instant drink will become your new daily ritual for obtaining health and happiness from life.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.weight-loss-advisor.com/links/green-tea-free-trial.php"><strong>Green Tea 300 weight loss system</strong></a> includes 15 green tea patches and 60 green tea packets. You also get 30 days full money back guarantee. That means if you are not satisfied with the results of using the GreenTea300 weight loss program for 30 days, you can return the product, and you get a full refund.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fibrinogen</strong> is also called serum fibrinogen, plasma fibrinogen and factor I is a soluble plasma glycoprotein that is synthesised by the liver.</p>
<p><strong>Fibrinogen is converted into fibrin</strong> &#8211; a protein involved in the clotting of blood (forms a clot over a wound site).</p>
<p>Fibrinogen levels are very important indicator for your bodyâ€™s overall health condition. That is why fibrinogen blood tests are used. They are to evaluate your body&#8217;s ability to form and break down blood clots.</p>
<p>Fibrinogen Blood levels between 150-300 mg/dL are considered normal, and higher than 460 mg/dL means you are at risk. </p>
<p><strong>Lowered fibrinogen concentration</strong> in your blood may lower your body&#8217;s ability to form stable blood clot. It may be due to afibrinogenemia (no production of fibrin) or to liver disease or malnutrition (which leads to hypofibrinogenemia). </p>
<p>Some types of cancer may cause consumption of fibrinogen, which leads first to bad clot formation excessive bleeding. </p>
<p><strong>High fibrinogen levels</strong> may increase the risk of developing a blood clot, which in turn may cause cardiovascular disease over time.<br />
<span id="more-28"></span><br />
Fibrinogen levels may go high very quickly after inflammation or tissue damage. High fibrinogen levels are also seen after: </p>
<ul>
<li>some types of cancer</li>
<li>coronary heart disease</li>
<li>myocardial infarction</li>
<li>stroke</li>
<li>rheumatoid arthritis</li>
<li>infections</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How to normalize fibrinogen levels?</strong></p>
<p>It may sound very scary, but with proper fibrinolytic drugs medication after heart attack and stroke. </p>
<p>You could also do exercises, take B-complex vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids or spices (such as curcumin, ginger root, turmeric) and of course you can take <a href="http://www.weight-loss-advisor.com/weightlossarticles/green-tea-review.htm">green tea</a> to lower your fibrinogen levels, but first consult your doctor prior starting any medication on your own.</p>
<p>Another antifibrinolytics, such as aminocaproic acid (Îµ-aminocaproic acid) and tranexamic acid are also used as inhibitors of fibrinolysis (the process where the fibrin clots are broken down).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lipid peroxides</strong></p>
<p>Lipid peroxides (fatty acid free radicals) are result of oxidation of lipids â€“ the process most often affects the polyunsaturated fatty acids. The oxidation process is free radical chain reaction mechanism that causes body cells damages. </p>
<p>When a free radical reacts it always produces another free radical (a chain reaction mechanism). In order to stop such damaging oxidative process, two free radicals must react and produce a non-radical, but that could happen only if the free radicals concentration is high enough. </p>
<p>As you may guess it is not effective enough just to sit and wait for two free radicals to react by accident and stop the process. But there is another solution&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-27"></span><br />
<strong>Antioxidants fight against lipid peroxides</strong></p>
<p>That is why your organism has different methods for protecting your body cells &#8211; and thatâ€™s the antioxidant enzymes that catch free radicals. One of most popular antioxidants is vitamin E, but EGCG polyphenol (contained in <a href="http://www.101greentea.com/2006/05/18/green-tea-diet-and-look-great-in-your-favorite-swimwear/">Green tea</a>) is even times more powerful antioxidant than Vitamin E.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my last two posts I was talking about the benefits of green tea in lowering high LDL cholesterol levels and improving the HDL cholesterol levels. Today I will reveal even more benefits of green tea effectively lowering triglycerides levels, lipid peroxides and fibrinogen.</p>
<p><strong>Triglycerides</strong></p>
<p>High triglycerides levels in your bloodstream have been linked to atherosclerosis and increased risk of heart disease and stroke; pancreatitis and depression.</p>
<p>However triglycerides (glycerol + fatty acids) are very important for your body metabolism. They are great energy sources for your body &#8211; contain 9 calories per gram of energy, which is twice more than carbohydrates and proteins.<br />
<span id="more-26"></span><br />
In fact the negative effects of increased triglycerides levels are not as bad as high LDL cholesterol levels. This is because of the strong inverse relationship between triglyceride level and HDL cholesterol level.</p>
<p>If you know your triglycerides levels, you can use these guidelines to find if you are at risk. </p>
<p>Triglycerides levels below 150 mg/dl are considered normal; between 200 and 498 mg/dl high; and triglycerides levels higher than 500 mg/dl are considered to be very high. </p>
<p>More on lipid peroxides and fibrinogen negative effects read in the next postâ€¦</p>
