Green tea has been highly studied and its benefits are fully documented but many need green tea pills because they cannot get used to the taste of
this tea.

You are constantly being bombarded with television, magazine and newspaper images that are telling you that you must seek the perfect body THEY are showing you. The problem is that their representation of the perfect body may not be achievable or healthy for you.

There are so many diet pills and supplements on the market today that promise dramatic results fast that you don’t know which ones to trust.

Many of these products have never endured even one scientifically sound study. Others have been studied and found to have compounds or ingredients that have proven harmful to the human body.

Some people are so desperate to lose weight that they will take these untested products and risk their health so they can TRY to reach the ideal body the media is telling them they need.

You do NOT have to take risks on untested and unproven products because green tea pills exist to help you achieve YOUR goals weight loss AND good health.

Green tea is an herb popularly used in making diet pills. Green tea is derived from the plant Carmellia sinensis, the same plant made in concocting black and oolong tea. The process of making green tea makes it different from the other Carmellia sinensis teas it is only mildly steamed and then dried with the majority of the beneficial antioxidants remaining intact.

Green tea has been known to have several health benefits. Certain substances in green tea can effectively stop cancer cells from going. Green tea’s catechin polyphenols also acts as effective antioxidants that can kill harmful free radicals that cause aging and it has also been known to boost the immune system.

Green Tea Pills for Weight Loss

Dietitians say that weight loss is achieved in two ways: reduce the intake of calories and increase energy expenditure. Green tea can perform both these functions quite well.

These pills contain a small amount of caffeine in them which makes them the perfect candidate for an appetite-suppressant. In addition to suppressing the appetite, you’ll be benefiting from diuretic properties that help reduce excess water in the body. Extra water contributes to extra weight and by ridding the body of these you’ll be contributing to your weight loss.

The antioxidants in these pills help increase your metabolism which helps your body burn fat faster.

Green tea pills are an ideal component of your weight loss program because this herb is compatible with other herbs and herbal remedies and it is even said that the benefits are enhanced by some combination’s.

Many benefits have been associated with green tea for centuries. A recent green tea weight loss study provides evidence that this tea helps you lose weight.

The people of the world are growing heavier as they adopt the ‘western diet’ and lifestyle with more than half of all Americans being either over weight or obese. These extra pounds can and often does lead to medical problems such as:

• type 2 diabetes
• sleep apnea
• gall bladder problems
• mellitus
• Hypertension (high blood pressure).

People can reach a point where their weight causes sleep apnea which interrupts the normal body rejuvenation cycle which causes weight gain and this unhealthy cycle is VERY hard to break even if you are eating right and exercising.

The weight loss benefits of tea have been studied by many scientists in several different studies and they have found that this beverage increases your metabolism so you expend more energy.

The study conducted at the University of Geneva concluded that, “Green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation beyond that explained by its caffeine content per se.” This means that caffeine is NOT the primary ingredient that helps promote weight loss as was originally believed.

A second study was conducted in Switzerland by the same team and they duplicated the results of the first study which showed that this tea has several thermogenic attributes that make it perfect to use in any weight loss program.

Sample Studies: Green Tea and Weight Loss

Green tea reduces body fat accretion caused by high-fat diet in rats through beta-adrenoceptor activation of thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. Conducted by chief scientist J.J. Choo of the Department of Food and Nutrition, Kunsan National University, this study aimed to find out if green tea can suppress body fat and to find out whether this suppression is connected with thermogenesis spurred by the body’s beta-adrenoceptor being activated.

To investigate the weight loss benefit of green tea on rats, the scientists placed their subjects on a high-fat diet and provided them with green tea extract. It was discovered that even though the rats were on a high-fat diet, the green tea extract counterbalanced fat gain without affecting the amount of energy they took in. Green tea was said to have shown some weight loss benefits in the fact that it can prevent fat from being stored, can increase protein levels, and promote thermogenesis by triggering beta-adrenoceptor to action.

Recent findings of green tea extract AR25 (Exolise) and its activity for the treatment of obesity. This study is a collaborative work between Doctors P. Chantre and D. Lairon of the Laboratoires Arkopharma in Carros, France. Published in the 2002 issue of Phytomedicine, this study aimed to find out if green tea extract has weight loss benefits and can be a potential cure for obesity.

In their study, they used an 80% ethanolic concentrate in green tea extract with standardized 25% catechins. They tested the green tea extract and were able to find that it could directly inhibit gastric and pancreatic lipases. These enzymes are the primary cause of fat storage and by delaying their actions; green tea extract therefore exhibits a weight loss benefit that can help solve obesity problems.

It was also discovered in this study that green tea can stimulate thermogenesis. Given to moderately obese patients, the green tea extract was said to have caused a decrease in weight by 4.6% and a reduction of waist circumference by 4.48% after only three months. The findings of the study clearly implicate the weight loss benefits of green tea.

This tea is on of the most studied beverages there is and you should find comfort in the findings of a green tea weight loss study when the results can be duplicated.

Heart disease prevention is possible in most people if they are willing to make the effort. There are a few that have genetics working against them but a healthy lifestyle can even minimize those risk factors. Some of the things you can do to prevent heart disease are:

Drink Plenty of Water

Your body is made up of mostly water. Water carries nutrients to your cells, toxins away from your cells, helps regulate your body temperature and is necessary for optimal health. You can judge how well you are hydrated by the color of your urine. The darker your urine is the more dehydrated you are. If the color is almost clear or a very pale yellow, you are probably drinking enough water.

Proper Nutrition

A magnesium deficiency can cause a heart attack so making sure your diet contains all of the minerals it needs to function properly is vital. Most diets do not provide enough of the right kinds of minerals and vitamins but organic diets come closer than most. If your diet doesn’t provide enough nutrition take a liquid minerals and vitamin supplement where the minerals have been ionized. These types of minerals are ready for immediate use by your body. Minerals in pill form and ones that are not ionized cannot conduct electricity so your body cannot readily use them.

Manage Your Blood Pressure

Keep your blood pressure stable and in the normal range. A large part of your blood pressure control should be proper hydration, proper nutrition and stress management.

Cholesterol Control

High cholesterol or a cholesterol level that has the LDL and HDL levels in the wrong proportions is harmful to your health. The right kinds of foods in the right amounts will help you control your cholesterol. As we’ve discussed in other articles on this site, fruits, vegetables and fish can all help.

Avoid Obesity

People that are overweight add stress to their heart, often have high blood pressure and cholesterol levels are frequently not where they should be so eating right and exercising will not only help keep the weight down but you’ll also be helping keep your heart muscles strong.

Exercise Regularly

You should be doing stretches daily, strength training 3 times a week and cardiovascular training 3 times a week on days you aren’t strength training. The strength training helps build muscle strength which helps metabolism, circulation and weight control. Strength training also helps reduce stress.

Cardiovascular training helps strengthen your circulatory system which includes your heart and lungs. Cardio training is also a great way to reduce stress.

Reduce Stress

Stress in your life can help raise blood pressure, medical problems, work and a variety of other sources. Self help programs like the ones at Think Right Now have helped thousands of people reduce stress in many areas of their lives.

Stop Smoking

Smoking is an addictive habit that pumps poison into your body with every cigarette you smoke. Some of your B vitamins are depleted by this habit and it increases your risk of lung disease as well as heart disease and generally having a negative affect on your overall health.

A successful heart surgeon was so serious in his desire to help people he quit his surgical practice and works to teach people How to Prevent or Even Reverse Heart Disease Without Drugs or Surgery. Anyone interested in heart disease prevention needs to read this book.

You can and should take control of your health. Some of the articles we’ve publish recently were written to show you both how and why you need to be the one in control. Dehydration and Your Health was written to share with you how important water is to your health and why. Water delivers nutrients to our cells and organs and removes the wastes so you can help detoxify your body with proper hydration.

We wrote Complete Colon Health Equals Disease Prevention to let you know the colon is vital to both the delivery of nutrition and the elimination of waste. You may have heard that aluminum has been associated with Alzheimer’s or that long term exposure to pesticides in well water and foods cause Parkinson’s Disease. No clear cause has been determined yet for either disease. The colon is the organ that is used to expel any aluminum, lead or other toxins that you may have in your body. Why take the chance when you can help prevent the problem by removing the toxins from your body?

Are You Unknowingly Poisoning Yourself? was meant to teach you that some of the commercial products you may be using each day could be putting toxins in your system that may cause cancer or other diseases. We didn’t want to give you just the problem so Your Health and Your Skin Deserve Better was written to show you there are both natural and organic alternatives to many products. It’s important that you read the labels of ALL products because your body might reject some organic products and government guidelines allow inclusion of a certain percentage of chemicals and still be called organic.

Toxins are all around you in your daily life so it is important to do what you can to eliminate them from your diet and minimize your exposure through personal care products so your body has fewer toxins to expel.

Obesity is caused by many things with over eating and a lack of exercise being just two of the causes. since obesity makes your body work harder and less efficiently we wrote Is Malnutrition Causing Your Obesity? to share with you how past farming practices, governmental regulations and greed are combining to provide you with a food supply that fails to supply you with the nutrients your body needs to thrive.

“In the future, we will not be able to rely anymore on our premise that the consumption of a varied balanced diet will provide all the essential trace elements, because such a diet will be very difficult to obtain for millions of people.” Dr. Walter Mertz, U.S. Department of Agriculture, told to congress in 1977.

The instances of cancer and other diseases are increasing each day and the obesity of our population is growing at an alarming rate so I think we are rapidly approaching the time Dr. Mertz was warning us of in 1977. I believe people that eat 100% organic foods are receiving many more nutrients in their diets than those that rely on the general food supply.

Dr. Linus Pauling the two-time Nobel Prize winner states that: “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”

Not all vitamins and minerals are equal. Whole food vitamins are derived from plants and are in a natural state so our bodies can more easily absorb them than the artificial vitamins found in some of the drug stores and super markets you may frequent. Our body is mostly water and much of the activity that takes place in it is electrical so we need ionized minerals. (Ionized means the minerals can conduct electricity.) Many of the minerals you can buy locally and online are made from crushed rock which isn’t natural. In nature, water passes over minerals and picks up some of the minerals in passing. Plants then absorb these minerals which are ready to be used. Which makes more sense to you, taking a pill made up of ground rock or taking liquid minerals that are ready for immediate use by your body?

Dr. Pauling has stated how important minerals are to your health. You have the choice as to whether you are going to be proactive and get the minerals and vitamins your body needs to ward off sickness and disease.

While many people know calcium is one of the 11 nutrients that are important for bone and tooth formation, many don’t know calcium is also important in muscle growth and contraction, heart rhythm, blood clotting, nerve tranquilization and nerve transmission. This means calcium is part of the nutrients you need for a healthy heart, healthy nails, teeth, bones, skin and soft tissue.

In my article on magnesium, I mention it is important in converting vitamin D into a biologically usable form the body can use to make use of calcium and the article on boron shows it helps postmenopausal women retain more calcium during urination. The interdependency of the minerals in the body is starting to show itself so a deficiency in one mineral will adversely affect many functions within your body. Because the symptom you feel and share with your medical professional may not point directly at a certain mineral, they may miss the root cause of the problem unless they have a very good understanding of nutrition.

It’s true that about 99 percent of the calcium in your body is used in your bones and teeth but that 1 percent used by the rest of your body is just as important because it is used for nerve impulses and muscle contractions that help you stay alive and move about. We are talking about your muscles, heart kidneys and other organs. Your body is constantly making new cells and calcium helps maintain the RNA and DNA structures. Your DNA is your blueprint of who you are so the calcium in you is helping you stay you.

Deficiencies in calcium and magnesium have been linked to high blood pressure through research so maintaining recommended levels of these minerals is vital to your health. Low calcium levels may be indicated by muscle cramps, tooth decay, arm/leg numbness, heart palpitations, nervousness and insomnia too. Proper levels of calcium have also shown to help reduce problems associated with PMS and in protecting against colon cancer.

There are many calcium supplements on the market and some of them aren’t worth the money spent on them. Calcium needs stomach acids to break it down so it can be absorbed before reaching the small intestine so taking an antacid that has calcium is a waste because none of the calcium gets absorbed. The best sources of calcium are derived from plants and are more absorbable but these are more expensive than the carbonate or dolomite derived forms. Calcium derived from carbonate and dolomite are poor sources of calcium and any calcium supplement that is inexpensive and the calcium source isn’t specified is often this cheap source your body cannot readily break down and absorb. (Calcium carbonate and dolomite are rocks.) Your body can absorb the calcium from plants more readily than from rock because the plant based will be more in line with your metabolic needs. The plant based calcium is also more likely to be free of metals such as aluminum and lead that your body cannot use.

You can naturally add calcium to your diet by eating organic dark leafy vegetables, sesame seeds, cheese, salmon and sardines and these are the same foods that also provide boron.

Calcium is so important to your health it is often used to reduce the problems caused by arthritis, bone pain, rheumatism, osteoporosis, backaches, heart palpitations, finger tremors, foot/leg cramps, insomnia, nervousness, menstrual cramps, premenstrual tension, menopause problems and obesity.

Calcium is a major mineral that you need to live a quality life but too much calcium can put stress on the kidneys and you may have kidney stones form as the body tries to flush the excess calcium. Your level of activity will determine where in the recommended guidelines your calcium needs fall and common sense should tell you that taking calcium or any supplement at regular intervals throughout the day is better that a massive dose at one time.

Food or liquid supplements make this easier than pills.
