It is widely believe that green tea and any green tea-sourced products can and will help one in losing weight, but there have been no studies that emulate such effects.
Studies have always come up with green tea being beneficial, and this is true, green tea is one of the drinks that have amazing effects on the body, but losing weight from green tea drinking alone, well, it might not be true.
In a new study conducted, it was found that green tea increases energy expenditure, thus burning more calories but it does not mean that losing weight is as easy as drinking.
The popular belief that green tea is a great weight loss product has been taken advantage of many companies trying to sell their products and pills. But this could be dangerous; there are still numerous studies to be taken to truly agree with these claims.
Other studies have pointed out that the caffeine in the green tea helps in thermogenesis and fat oxidation.
But in a study by Rick Hursel of Maastricht University Medical Center in Netherlands the weight loss effects on his subject were barely minimum and only fleeting.
Also in his study tea extract did not have lasting effect on resting metabolic rates of 12 normal weight men.
Furthermore, a study published by the Cochrane Review that regular tea consumption did not keep the weight off of people.
Tea breaks were also believed to be dangerous for women, in the past since drinking tea was said to threaten traditional way.
Before tea was limited due to the fact that the upper classed women minded when the lower class women would have tea breaks because this means that they were overlooking their domestic duties.
Tea has one of the most colorful histories amongst many great drinks and food. It has a long history that originates from all part of the world.
