Diet With Green Tea

Sometimes the simplest things are the key to

complicated problems. For instance, there is green

tea, a great thirst-quencher -- and a way to lose

weight.

Scientists at the University of Geneva have made green

tea the latest diet aid to be scrutinized. Their

verdict: It can help you lose weight by stepping up

the body's metabolism.

The Swiss experts say the tea contains substances

known as catechin polyphenols, which raise the

metabolic rate. In other words, at a higher rate of

metabolism, the body burns calories more quickly,

helping you lose weight.

In a random trial involving 10 healthy men, those who

unknowingly took green tea capsules showed a 4 percent

increase in their metabolic rate, and a corresponding

higher rate of energy burn-off. It is not the first

scientific breakthrough for the stuff --earlier trials

have indicated that green tea contains other

ingredients that can help combat some forms of cancer.
