There is a lot of conversation on the topic of weight everywhere. While beauty standards may make it seem like there is only one “right” weight to be at, a bigger priority is to make sure we are at a healthy weight. Being overweight can bring a horde of health issues like cardiovascular diseases, sleep disorders, and high blood pressure, among others. This is why it is important to keep our weight in check and have a healthy lifestyle.

A healthy, balanced, low calorie diet along with moderate physical activity is usually considered the best way to lose weight. However, along with this, there are some foods that give your body a boost when it comes to weight loss.

Benefits Of Green Tea For Weight Loss

This is where green tea comes in. It is made with freshly harvested tea leaves that are preserved in a way that keeps its nutrients intact. Green tea is rich in antioxidants known as catechins, in particular epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This helps our body along through the weight loss journey in a myriad ways, let’s find out how.

1. Burns Fat

Ever wonder what makes green tea so great for weight loss? It is rich in antioxidants called catechins. Our body burns fat by oxidizing it, and the catechins in green tea help with that when taken consistently over a few months. The higher the breakdown of fat, the leaner the body gets. So make green tea part of your daily routine and boost fat burning in the body.

2. Keeps You Feeling Full

Trying to control your portion sizes? Add green tea to your meals. Studies have shown having green tea at mealtimes helps you feel more sated and less likely to reach for second helpings. It also helps control your appetite, lowering the amount you eat.

Foods that fill you nutritionally while increasing satiety are a boon for losing weight. We recommend Kapiva’s Get Slim Ayurvedic juice, a direct extraction of flax seeds and castor that aid in weight loss by boosting metabolism and prolonging your feeling of fullness. It also stimulates intestinal muscles aiding better bowel movements and relief from constipation and other digestive issues.

3. Reduces Calorie Absorption

To put it simply, you need to use up more energy than you consume to lose weight. While the many methods of weight loss can achieve this, green tea has a different way of helping you. Research shows that green tea reduces the number of calories you take in from food. It also lessens fat storage in the body and helps you expel more calories when you visit the bathroom. Next time you feel like drinking something that is not water, go for green tea!

4. Increases Calorie Expenditure

Did you know green tea helps your body use up more calories as well? It is rich in catechins and caffeine, and these two components help the body produce more heat. This function of the body, called thermogenesis, uses up a lot of energy, helping burn calories. This makes green tea a great, zero-calorie drink for you!

5. Helps Manage Other Issues Linked With Obesity

We know green tea helps us in many ways to manage weight, but did you know that it also helps manage issues that may arise due to obesity? Researchers have found that when catechins reduce body fat, they also lower the risk of cardiovascular complications. Green tea also helps with diabetes through glucose control and insulin sensitivity.
