Is iced green tea effective for weight loss?
24.October, 2008
I have heard that warm green tea is effective, but not ice cold. Is that true? Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Thanks everyone for giving me so much information on green tea. I really appreciate it.
you can have hot or cold ice tea, their both affective. but hot tea is a little more effective. either way you're going to lose weight, just dont add sugar, excercise and you'll be good.

Yes, Green Tea boosts metabolism and has so many awesome benefits. Here's what I found about iced Green Tea.
"You should never brew Green Tea with hot water and then cool it to prepare cold, or iced tea. Instead, please double the amount of the Green Tea leaves used to brew it in cold water in a sealed container. This way you keep the aroma, the natural color and the medicinal health benefits of the Green Tea. The reason this way is better, is that you avoid oxidation that can occur if the tea is left open to the air in an attempt to cool it after hot brewing. The brewing time is actually very short. For example, 10-15 cups of tea can be brewed in a jar in the ice box in just 30-45 minutes. Please note that you can refill the jar with water to brew more tea when the level reaches one third full. You may repeat the same procedure up to 3 times using the same Xianju Green Tea leaves. It is better than drinking water for walkers, runners, cycling, mountain climbing or any athletic sport in general that demands replenishment of body fluids."

It really dosen't because all green teas help:
Reduces high blood pressure. Drinking green tea represses angiotensin II which leads to high blood pressure.
> Lowers blood sugar. Green tea polyphenols and polysaccharides are effective in lowering blood sugar.
> Fights cancer. There have been many studies that have shown that green tea catechins are effective at preventing cancer.
> Boosts the immune system because of its high concentrations of polyphenols and flavonoids.
> Green tea antioxidants have been shown to lower cholesterol.
> Recent scientific research suggests that green tea has potent fat-burning properties.
> Antioxidants in green tea may prevent and reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis
> Consumption of white and green tea provides protection against colon tumors
> Substances in green tea known as catechins can increase the antioxidant capacity of human plasma, which could help reduce cardiovascular disease risk
> Green tea has also been associated with fighting cavities and slowing down potentially harmful blood clotting.
> Treatment for liver disease.
> Drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.
> Helps to fight flu virus.
> Eases headaches and depression.
> Strengthens bone density.
> Aids in digestion by fostering the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines.
> Black and Green teas boost the effectiveness of insulin 15 fold. Tea also improves blood glucose control in nondiadetics.
> Green tea can even help prevent tooth decay. Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque.
> Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo. This has caused its inclusion in numerous diet aids lately.
> Associations (from epidemiological research) have been made between higher green tea consumption and reduced incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, stomach, pancreas, colon and lung, but further research is needed to confirm this effect.
BUT REALLY YOU HAVE TO DO EXCERSIES FOR WEIGHT LOSS BUT GEEN TEA TO BURN FAT.
