I've stated before that I'm obese and that I want to lose weight. I have my ups and downs. I gain weight and then lose it. It's a vicious merry-go-round. I also suffer from depression and I have high blood pressure.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure is serious. It could lead to kidney failure. I'd rather not have to go a dialysis clinic 3-4 days a week. That would suck.
So after reading Jackie Warner's book, "This is why you're Fat," I decided that I'm going to drink green tea to see how it would affect my body. According to a English study, subjects were told to drink four cups of green tea a day and to not change their diet. The study concluded that green tea lowered the subjects blood pressure when compared with a controlled group. They also found that the subjects lost body fat and body weight.
Another English study found that after digesting green tea, fat oxidation rates increased, which means that the rate at which your body breaks down fats (lipids), which are large molecules into smaller molecules that your body can use. The study also suggested that drinking green tea can improve insulin sensitivity.
A Slovenia study found that green tea is beneficial to oral hygiene.
A study showed that women who ate mushrooms and green tea was linked to a 90 percent lower occurrence of breast cancer.
An American study found that green tea can increase T cells in the body and boost the immune system.
Studies have shown that green tea has had a positive affect on mood and cognative disorders as well.
So hopefully in two weeks I will be a couple of pounds lighter, without really dieting.
