Green tea is made from the fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, which are processed rapidly by means of steam to prevent fermentation. Green tea has been the primary subject of consideration for investigation into the preventative health effects of tea because it contains the highest levels of phenolic compounds and retains the highest antioxidant capabilities of any major tea type. Catechins, caffeine and theaflavins have been confirmed to possess a broad range of biological activities and are all present in green tea. Among the activities attributed to these bioactive compounds is the weight loss and reduced obesity. Scientists have studied these and shown ways in which green tea might contribute to fat loss and healthy metabolism. Reason Number 1.. It Reduces Calories! One of the most effective ways tea can fight obesity is in the gastrointestinal tract through the inhibition of enzymes such as pancreatic lipase and glucosidase. By inhibiting these enzymes, green tea can lower the rate of absorption of fats and sugars, thus reducing caloric intake in the body and decreasing weight-gain. Reason Number 2. . It Fixes your Gut microbiome.. Research has shown that the composition of gut microbiota correlates highly with obesity and related diseases such as diabetes and affect fat storage, blood-glucose balance, and also hormones that affect hunger. Microorganisms in your gut play critical roles in regulating fat metabolism and storage o and increasing overall gut microbial diversity benefits the host and can be seen as a target in obesity prevention by tea polyphenols. Reason Number 3.. It Generates of Short-Chain Fatty Acids.. Carbohydrates in the small intestine can take part in fermentation reactions with bacteria to produce short chain fatty acids. short chain fatty acids are absorbed into the blood stream where they can travel to the liver and enhance energy metabolism. Adding short chain fatty acids to your diet results in improved energy metabolism and this has been shown to be beneficial in protecting against obesity and high-fat diet related diseases. Reason Number 4.. It Regulates Fat Metabolism.. Fat accumulation is determined by the processes of lipolysis, which is how fat is broken down, and lipogenesis, which is how fat is made. Recent studies proposed that the energy-sensing molecule, AMPK, can moderate energy metabolism by decreasing fat synthesis and increasing fat breakdown. Research has shown that green tea can activate AMPK in fat cells and trigger the breakdown of fat. Reason Number 5.. Controlling your gene expression.. Yes you heard that right!! Green tea has been shown to downregulate the hepatic gene expression of lipogenic enzymes and related transcription factors and to upregulate the hepatic mRNA level of fat β-oxidation genes. This means that it effects how your DNA is read and increases the activity of genes which create proteins that help breakdown fat. Nature really is wonderful and green tea is one of the best natural ways to lose fat without even exercising. Thank you nature!
