I went on vacation to China and of course wanted to memorize and copy all the Asian tricks to stay slim. One of the most positive tips that I found was the reaffirmation of one of the tips that is in my book From fat to gallant. At all times, at any time, anywhere, with any food, at all ages the Chinese and Chinese are drinking the famous green tea.

Green tea will allow you to lose weight naturally and improve the body's cellular function, promoting its purification and beautifying the skin. So below I will tell you more about this blessing that is available to everyone.

Green tea has the same origin as the black tea that we usually consume, the difference is the post-harvest process.

This product, consumed for more than 4 thousand years in the East, contains substances called flavonoids, which work by allowing the body to properly absorb vitamin C, an antioxidant par excellence.

It also has polyphenols called "catechins", of which there have been studies that have verified that it has action on the reproduction of cancerous tumors.

Other studies indicate the important role of green tea in lowering cholesterol (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol. Its antibacterial and antiviral action is also known.

Why is green tea good?

Because it increases thermogenesis by an impressive 43%. Thermogenesis is a process by which our body burns calories to produce heat, that is, it wastes them to increase the temperature of the body and that translates into greater weight loss.

Its slimming properties are due to its high content of polyphenols, specifically polyphenol EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which blocks the action of the enzyme called COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase) which is responsible for destroying the hormone norepinephrine, a of the most important lipolytic hormones in the human body. In simpler words, the COMT enzyme is the bad one in the movie that destroys norepinephrine, which is responsible for forcing fat out of fat cells and increasing energy expenditure.

EGCG, along with the rest of the polyphenols in green tea, are the heroes who are in charge of blocking COMT so that norepinephrine can carry out its fat-burning work perfectly. In addition, there is no loss of muscle mass (so important to keep your metabolism high) and, therefore, the weight loss is more continuous (without stagnations) and there are far less probabilities of suffering the yo-yo effect.
