I came across an interesting article the other day.
It said that drinking team just might help you lose weight. Since I’m
constantly battling the scale—as many women do—I read further.
Apparently, according to a professor of nutrition at
Tufts University, tea, especially green tea, will speed up your metabolism and
increase the fat calories your body burns. This is due to a combination of
caffeine and the antioxident catechin in tea.
According to the article, you should drink at least
two cups of tea a day and let the tea steep for at least three minutes for
optimum catechin consumption.
Along with possible weight loss, other studies have
found that green tea may reduce the risk of certain cancers, specifically lung,
breast, and skin, and also slow the rate of bone loss.
Tea time anyone?
