how Green Tea can help you lose weight steadily and safely.
LONDON — Green tea consumption
may play a role in stemming the worldwide tide of obesity,
Dr. Mary L. Hardy said at a symposium on alternative and complementary
therapies sponsored by the universities
of Exeter and Plymouth.
One
area of current obesity research involves the process of thermogenesis.
Stimulation of this process, which is controlled by the sympathetic
nervous system, increases basal energy expenditure and fat
oxidation. Many plant compounds, such as catechins and caffeine
in tea, exert stimulatory effects on thermogenesis, Dr. Hardy
explained.
 Unlike
sympathomimetic drugs and ephedrine, however, green tea extracts
do not increase heart rate and are not associated with adverse
cardiovascular effects.
“Safety concerns with ephedrine-containing
diet aids have spurred interest in safer alternatives such
as green tea,” said Dr. Hardy of the center for dietary
supplement research in botanicals at the University
of California, Los Angeles.
“Green tea is likely to be the next
big thing for weight loss, but other products such as bitter
orange, red pepper, and ginseng berry also appear intriguing,”
Dr. Hardy said in a satellite symposium. “Plants
eaten in some traditional cultures to suppress appetite and
improve stamina during times of famine also are gaining in
popularity.” Family Practice News,
