Green Tea Increases Fat Burning, Especially During Exercise

Good Evening guys. If you look at the label of almost every commercial weight loss and fat burning supplement, chances are that you will find some kind of tea there as an ingredient. This is because green tea has been repeatedly shown to increase the burning of fat, especially during exercise.

GREEN TEA

In one study, men who took green tea extract  and exercised burned 17 %  more fat than  men who didn't get the supplement. This study suggests that green tea can boost that fat burning effects of exercise.

Another study that went on for 8 weeks showned  that green tea increased fat burning, both during exercise and during rest.

There are several studies that agree with this. Green tea selectively boost the burning of fat, which may lead to reduced body fat in the long term. 

It also can combine with your diet. If you are on a diet plan, it it recommended that you do some physical activities. There are at least three reasons why this is good for you.


  • Burn more calories

Whether you are walking or playing physical games, moving around help you burn more energy. 


  • Boost Metabolism

Your body continues to burn more calories after you finish exercise for a period of time.


  • Increase Muscle Mass

The leaner you are, the more energy you burn every minute. This is because muscles experience much higher metabolism than fat tissues. This also explains why fat people are more likely to gain weight than slim people.


  • Improve Sport Performance

Drinking green tea can improve your endurence performance by up to 24 %. This means you perform physical activities longer, allowing you to burn more energies and develop more muscle mass, making it easier for you to lose weight later.


  • Weight Maintenance

Combaning green tea diet and exercise reduce weight gain on high fat diet up to 90 %. This means you are less likely to put on weight even you are on unhealthy diet.


  • Burn Visceral Fat

Green tea diet and exercise can help you lose visceral fat by up to 87 %


  • Improve Sport Performance

In the first study, researchers found that green tea's fat burning property helps improve endurance level of athletes.

Laboratory rats were given green tea extract  to drink for 10 weeks. Researchers found that this increases the amount of time the animals could swim before becoming exhausted by 8 % to 24 %.

Whe you exercise, your muscle get their energy from carbohydrates, fats or proteins. The proportions vary depending on what exercise you do and how fit you are. 

Using carbohydrate as an energy source is undesirable because it causes your body to secret insulin, which suppresses fat burning and stimulates lactic acid. Lactic acid builds up and causes muscle ache.

This suppresses lactic acid and spares glycogen, a form of carbohydrate that is stored for ready access in muscle.

It was found that for green tea to be effective, it has to be taken daily over the full 10 weeks of the study.

The researchers estimate that a 165 punds (75 kg) athlete would need to drink about 4 cups of green tea a day.
