The properties in green tea have been shown to help fight cancer, improve your skin and increase your immunity against colds and flu. But the benefits reach even further than that. New research shows that it even helps burn belly fat. A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition found that individuals who exercised daily but also took in the equivalent of 4 cups of green tea a day for 12 days lost over 8 times more belly fat than those who drank ordinary caffeinated drinks.

A study in Japan had similar results. 240 men and women were given differing amounts of green tea extract for three months. Those who were given the higher amount of green tea extract lost more fat, had lower cholesterol and had lower blood pressure than those who were given a lesser amount.

Green Tea Effect on Weight Loss

Scientists aren’t completely for sure why green tea helps you lose weight but they think it has something to do with its high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. They believe that that these polyphenols help to rev up your metabolism causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.

Catechins might also help regulate blood sugar. This helps to prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar or sudden dips that cause you to turn to high sugar snacks. A study at the University of Chicago showed that injecting rats with green tea extract caused them to lose up to 21% of their body weight. The rats lost their appetite, and as a result, consumed 60% less calories. Scientists think this may have something to do with green tea’s effect on regulating blood sugar levels.

You can get green tea either by brewing your own tea, buying beverages that contain green tea or by taking green tea pills or capsules.
