Can Green Tea help me lose weight?

As far as weight loss is concerned, no study has ever shown that any type of tea can help an individual lose weight. However, there are anecdotal reports that regular consumption of green tea can help reduce blood cholesterol. There are other reports claiming that green tea may help increase insulin sensitivity to glucose.

Recent reports indicate that anti oxidants found in green tea may help protect the brain from injury. Animals studies have revealed that these anti oxidants may play a role in prevention and treatment of various brain disorder like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

If you want to lose weight, start eating less and walk more. Of course, you can drink all the green tea you want at the same time.
