The health and weight loss benefits of green tea are becoming
increasingly widely understood, but most dieters won't want to change
their drinking habits. After all, tea is more than just a drink; it also
forms part of our culture and tradition.
For those who want all
the benefits of green tea without having to give up their favoured
drinking habits, green tea pills are an ideal alternative. In fact, as
there are several different types of pills with varying quality and
effectiveness on the market, our research shows the pills to look out
for are those with tea from Java. This large Indonesian island boasts
acres of tea growing plantations, known rather romantically as tea
gardens and the green tea it produces is widely recognized to have some
of the highest levels of active weight loss compounds.
Java is
well-known for its rich soil with nutrients and minerals from the
volcanic explosions of years gone by. The quality of the soil, the
unpolluted air and the plentiful rainfall, combine to make Java an ideal
location for growing tea.
Scientists are interested in the
phenols and antioxidant properties of green tea because it has been seen
to have a number of health and weight loss benefits. In particular
green tea is very beneficial when used as part of a weight loss program,
because it does a lot of the work for you! Despite being lower in
caffeine than coffee, tea, especially the green variety in the form of
concentrated speeds up the body's metabolism and uses up energy that is
stored as fat. Obviously, if you are serious about weight loss, a
careful diet and regular exercise is necessary, but by supplementing
your diet with green leaf tea weight loss pills, you get a helping hand.
The
other health benefits of green tea are an added bonus! Antioxidants,
such as those found in green tea are believed to help prevent stroke and
heart disease, allay certain types of cancer and age-related problems
such as memory loss. It is also beneficial for skin that has been
exposed to the sun, by helping prevent pre-mature aging caused by UVB
exposure.
You may wonder why the tea has to be green! All tea
starts life in the same way, being plucked as a green leaf from a bush.
It is then processed in different ways, to produce dried leaves that are
varying shades of green, yellow, blue or black. The process, involving
first wilting and drying the leaves is called fermentation, although
strictly speaking the leaves don't ferment, they oxidise. The process of
oxidisation is stopped at different stages, by gently heating the
leaves. To create black tea, the leaves are fully oxidised and the
colour leaves them. With green leaf tea, very little oxidisation takes
place, and the leaves remain green. The different levels of processing
not only determine the flavour of the tea, but also the amount of active
weight loss and protective power they contain in the form of catechins
and EGCG.
To reap maximum benefit from green leaf tea, pills are
ideal. They contain a concentrated form of green tea, for the best pills
it is important to look for either catechins or EGCG content as a
measure of potency of weight loss a value of 300- 700 milligrams is
recommended. See this page for further information on the best Green Tea Pills.
