At some time or another, you\u2019ve heard that green tea is good for you. You may have even heard that it can help you lose weight. Whether you believe it or not, I\u2019m here to tell you: IT WORKS!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the past couple of months and for no experimental purposes, I have been going green. No I haven\u2019t been an eco-friendly advocate, I have been spending my every morning with a warm cup of green tea. It\u2019s the first thing I do when I get up and I am now an ADDICT.<\/p>\n

I used to head to my local Starbucks for every female\u2019s rendition of a cup of Joe\u2013the Skinny Vanilla Latte. But on top of it taking a serious dent in my bank account, me and high amounts of caffeine did not mix. I felt even more tired than I was before the cup, had horrible headaches, anxiety and was constantly dehydrated.<\/p>\n

After kicking that bad habit, I soon realized it wasn\u2019t the coffee taste that I loved, it was simply the comfort of sipping on something warm on those chilly mornings. So I switched to green tea and it turns out that its minimal amount of caffeine gives me that little morning boost that won\u2019t send me crashing an hour later.<\/p>\n

Okay, let\u2019s get to the part you\u2019ve been waiting to hear\u2026 Yes for the past two months I have made my lifestyle much healthier (we\u2019ll get into that next) by adding a cup of green tea to my morning regime, but I have an unhealthy confession. I have not been very good about incorporating exercise into that regime either. But this is how I know my green cup is working its magic\u2026 I\u2019ve lost weight and body fat!<\/p>\n

This green tea benefit alone is enough to ditch those lattes, ladies! But there are many more benefits to my new found secret\u2026<\/p>\n

7 Green Tea Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Green tea has an active ingredient in it called EGCG, which speeds up your body\u2019s fat burning<\/strong> (AKA it\u2019s a fat burning miracle), according to Shine from Yahoo!<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Ladies with bikini season on the brains, you are going to love this one! Green tea actually targets burning belly fat<\/strong>. \u201cResearch at Tufts University indicates that EGCG in green tea, like other catechins, activate fat-burning genes in the abdomen to speed weight loss by 77 percent,\u201d according to Shine from Yahoo!<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. No more highs and lows. The miracle worker balances your blood sugar levels to keep your energy stable. \u201cEGCG improves insulin use in the body to prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes that can result in fatigue, irritability and cravings for unhealthy foods<\/strong>,\u201d according to Shine from Yahoo!<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Ever wonder why Asians have such perfect skin? Well, look at what they\u2019re drinking. Green tea is known to be a wrinkle fighter<\/strong>. \u201cEGCG appears to be 200 times more powerful than vitamin E at destroying skin-damaging free radicals. Free radicals react with healthy cells in the body, causing damage, so lessening their numbers may help reduce wrinkling and other signs of aging,\u201d according to Shine from Yahoo!<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Green tea contains antioxidants which eliminate free radicals<\/strong>. \u201cFree radicals are increasingly linked to many serious chronic illnesses like arthritis, diabetes and cancer,\u201d according to Shine from Yahoo!<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Green tea gives you a pretty smile<\/strong>. You\u2019ll be all smiles after adding a cup of this goodness, and not because you feel better and because you dropped some lbs. Tea contains fluoride and tannins.<\/li>\n
  7. When cold weather is amidst, we run for the hot cups. But coffee drinkers aren\u2019t exactly helping themselves fight off the sicknesses that come with winter weather. Green tea drinkers, on the other hand, are, as it may help boost your immune system<\/strong>. According to iVillage<\/a>, \u201cwhen 21 volunteers drank either five cups of tea or coffee each day for four weeks, researchers saw higher immune system activity in the blood of the tea drinkers.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At some time or another, you\u2019ve heard that green tea is good for you.
