The Amazing Health Benefits of Green Tea!

I am really excited to share one of my favorite health secrets so that you all can begin to benefit from this wonderful, easy and amazing health tip! I have been drinking green tea for its wonderful benefits to my health for years now. I also drink other teas such as oolong, wu yi and wu long. So, if you are ready to improve your health, fight premature aging, drop some weight and increase your energy levels, then read on!

Green tea and green tea extract have been proven to have a number of health benefits such as cancer prevention, weight loss and fighting premature aging. Though green tea has been the focus, wu yi, wu long and oolong teas are also highly beneficial because they contain some of the same components that make green tea so beneficial!

Tea is full of catechins, which are highly powerful antioxidants. One of these is called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which has been studied extensively and is capable of blocking starch, aids in burning fat and increases metabolism, so green tea is capable of aiding in weight loss.

Free radicals damage tissue at the cellular level and antioxidants are capable of fighting free radicals and repairing the damage. Because green tea (and wu yi tea) are full of antioxidants, it promotes good health at the cellular level. This means that your skin will be healthier and more beautiful, your will have better brain function such as concentration and memory AND you will protect your body and help prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer.

I have always been a tea lover, mostly iced tea, so I knew that it would be easy for me to switch my black tea for green tea, oolong, wu yi or wu long. Many people who do not appreciate the flavor of green tea may enjoy oolong, wu yi or wu long because the flavor is milder.

If you would like a bit more flavor in your tea, you can squeeze lemon or add fruity herbal teas. I love my iced green or wu yi tea with blueberry herbal tea. Mango or peach are also lovely herbal additions! Do not add calories, though. Make sure that the tea is in fact natural, herbal and zero calories or you will quickly turn something lovely into a sugary mess!

I recently learned of another benefit of green tea that I discovered when my coffee began to disagree with me. I have always loved my coffee in the morning, but it began to make me jittery and anxious. So, I decided to switch to not only iced tea throughout the day, but a hot mug of green tea or wu yi tea flavored with herbal caramel truffle tea!

You may be wondering why tea does not produce the jittery effects that coffee does because of course tea contains caffeine. Well, among all the other healthy components of tea, it also contains L-theanine. L-theanine makes the brain release serotonin, which produces a calming feeling in the body. So, while you get the wake-up you need in the morning, you do not have the anxiety that comes with coffee.

Is your green tea pure? Is it organic?

Drink green tea to lose weight for health

Green tea is probably one of the healthiest drinks you could ever have at home. Therefore, all this hype over the miracle and health benefits of green tea is rightly justified because it is all true and not merely hype. This ancient Japanese tea has been around for centuries and it is one of the secrets to good health amongst the Japanese. Now, it has been discovered that green tea is not only good for health but also a great aid for weight loss.

Nowadays, when we talk about green tea, people think about its weight loss benefits. So, the link between green tea and weight loss is pretty much common knowledge by now. So much so that a lot of weight loss programs and diets include green tea as one of the must have drink. Drinking green tea is always a better choice compared to any other drink if you don’t only want to drink water.

Green tea has become so popular in recent times because of its wonderful nutrients consisting of anti-oxidants and fat fighting agents. One of the easier and better ways to lose weight is to drink green tea daily. For those who balk at drinking the plain green tea, day in day out, be assured that there are now plenty of different flavored green tea to try out. Here are some of the benefits of green tea and why you should add it to your daily diet:

1. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have concluded that green tea extract could improve your metabolic rate by 4%. This means green tea could increase your metabolism, all thanks to its catechin polyphenols.

2. Green tea also regulates your blood sugar level, thus blocking fat absorption. Thanks to the same catechin, it works to stop your body from absorbing the fat and it also slow down the increase of your blood glucose level after you eat. This will reduce insulin spikes and then cut down fat absorption.

3. If you need an appetite suppressant, green tea is a good one. This is because it regulates your blood glucose level and this will lead to a better control of your sugar cravings. With lesser sugar cravings, you won’t indulge that much in sweet stuff and high fat food. Instead, you may even have lesser appetite and eat less. With less food intake, it will mean you are consuming less calories and finally this will lead to weight loss.

Are Wu Yi Tea Reviews Honest?

The short shorts and teeny bikinis are hanging on the store racks. Are you hoping you will be hot when the weather turns hot? Maybe you are perusing the internet for a weight loss product. Chances are you have stumbled across wu yi tea reviews and are wondering whether this is the right weight loss aid for you.

Just like green tea, wu yi (oolong) tea contains antioxidants and other properties that can help you lose weight and look fantastic by summer. That being said, you are probably wondering what to believe when it comes to wu yi tea reviews. Some are quite negative.

Are these wu yi tea reviews honest? Are the wu yi companies trustworthy? If you want to reap the rewards of wu yi tea like I did and look great in your summer clothes, you should know whether the wu yi tea review is honest.

Currently, there is a major wu yi tea scam being talked about in many wu yi (oolong) reviews. The wu yi company offers consumers a free trial, and then charges your credit card for auto shipments. Some wu yi tea reviews have reported losses over $150! You may lose weight, but you will definitely lose money!

There are wu yi tea reviews written by people who were not able to lose weight and feel as though they were scammed. Maybe, maybe not. There are certainly wu yi tea companies who sell poor quality tea that ends up containing very little pure wu yi tea. This is why it is very important to make sure that the company sells USDA CERTIFIED organic tea, and they are members of the BBB Online Reliability Program.

Another reason for lack of weight loss could simply be that the consumer did not realize they needed to diet and exercise along with drinking the wu yi tea. Some wu yi reviews would have you believe that they drank the tea and did not lose weight, yet the fail to mention the donuts they had for breakfast or that they did not move from the couch most nights.

Wu yi tea has been a WONDERFUL addition to my weight loss plan that also involves exercise and a healthy menu. Oolong (wu yi) and green tea help you continue to burn fat long after you have finished exercising. It also blocks some of the starch you consume, but it will not forgive TOO many junky foods in your diet.

Think about how many calories you consume in a day due to beverages such as sodas or lattes. By replacing these with ZERO calorie wu yi (oolong) tea, you may be able to cut 500 calories a day. This is equivalent to one pound of weigh per week to help you look fabulous by summer!

Wu Yi Cleanse is another product made by the Wu Yi Tea Company that cleanses your system and makes it easier for you to lose weight by ridding the body of weight gain toxins. There is also green tea in this product.

Part II: Wu Yi Tea Diet Plan

It is possible to look and feel amazing by eating highly flavorful, healthy foods and drinking wu yi oolong tea. I love my healthy menu and I have some great ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and even dessert that you can enjoy and lose weight!

Okay, let us go over a basic meal plan using wu yi tea, lean proteins, whole grains, veggies, fruit and nonfat dairy. You will lose weight on a very satisfying meal plan that is healthy and delicious, AND you will be able to follow this way of eating for life to maintain your weight.

Ideas for breakfast: one poached egg on a piece of wholegrain toast (no spread) with diced tomatoes, herbs and/or pepper sauce OR cup whole grain cereal with strawberries, bananas and ” cup nonfat milk. Eat either breakfast choice alongside a mug of wu yi tea with fresh lemon juice.

The idea is to use either lean protein or a whole grain for the base of your breakfast and add veggies or fruit. Can you think of another way of achieving this? How about a piece of whole grain toast with a bit of Dijon mustard, two slices of deli chicken or turkey and some marinated mushroom leftovers from the night before? Veggies, fruits and whole grains contain fiber, which is an excellent way to start your day and lose weight!

Remember that eating frequently is part of my wu yi diet to raise your metabolism. You will have a mid-morning snack and a mid-afternoon snack. Use a lean protein with fruit or veggies. My favorite? I sprinkle a teaspoon of flaxseed in nonfat yogurt.

More snack ideas: fresh strawberries with a spoon of nonfat vanilla yogurt; almonds with mango; one slice deli turkey with one light string cheese. Do not forget to drink your wu yi oolong tea!

Lunchtime! Grab a handful of those pre washed spring greens or baby lettuces that I mentioned in the last blog post. Place them in a bowl and then add some lean protein. Try turkey, tuna, chicken, kidney beans or whatever you have handy. Use about two ounces which is a little less than the size of a deck of cards.

What is key in weight loss? Planning! Cook a piece of lean protein the night before to use with your salad the next day. You can simply prepare an extra piece at dinner time! You can prep veggies the night before as well!

How will you flavor your salad? Not with creamy dressings! These add LOADS of calories and you will not lose weight. Try lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. Pepper sauce is another interesting choice. Have refreshing glass of iced wu yi tea with an herbal berry tea added.

Supper is similar to lunch, though you can enjoy your veggies a side salad or incorporated with your lean protein. Couscous, quinoa or brown rice make lovely sides. Have a half a cup of one of those OR have a few more veggies or half a sweet potato. Marinate the lean protein ahead of time with the same zero calorie flavors and a bit of olive oil. Enjoy your supper with a mug of wu yi tea.

Do not forget dessert! I suppose that seems absurd when you are trying to lose weight, but many people deny themselves their cravings and sabotage their weight loss efforts by binging later. You can satisfy your salty or sweet craving with healthy choices.

People who enjoy salty foods should skip the chips and have a few cups of popcorn seasoned with pepper flakes or sea salt. Toasted pumpkin seeds are also satisfying. I have a sweet tooth and rather enjoy a mug of oolong and vanilla herbal tea with a tasty square of very dark chocolate. You might consider a bowl of berries with nonfat, sugar-free whipped topping.

Do not make the mistake of sacrificing flavor to lose weight. Wu yi oolong tea has a lovely flavor and aroma.

Atkins Grape Fruits Diet Tips For You

The Atkins Grapefruit diet seeks to cash in on the popularity of the fad grapefruit diet and the less fad but still fad Atkins diet, although it has nothing to do with the Atkins estate or company. A closer look into this diet shows that it may not be all it claims to be.

It’s a challenge to find clear cut information, such as a web site, for the Atkins grapefruit diet. Hard to find information is a pretty good tip off that a con job is being perpetrated. This possible con does it’s best to make people assume it has something to do with the official Atkins diet.

Is the Atkins grapefruit diet something that was found locked away in a safe by the late Dr. Atkins? The answer is no, not only is there no mention of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet on the Atkins web site, but there is no fruit of any kind mentioned in the list of allowed foods in the Atkins diet Induction phase.

These are the foods allowed in the Atkins diet Induction phase - sorry Atkins grapefruit diet, no fruit here:

Fish of all kinds All fowl such as turkey and chicken Shellfish of any variety Any meat such as beef or pork Any style egg All sorts of cheese Vegetables Any herbs and spices to make food more exciting A variety of fats and oils including butter Drinks low in carbohydrates such as diet soft drinks

Unfortunately for the Atkins grapefruit diet, there no fruit. Grapefruit and other fruits such as fruit juices are specified in other phases of the Atkins diet. The Atkins grapefruit diet, however, relies on grapefruit to a much greater degree than would be allowed in the original Atkins diet.

The Atkins Grapefruit Diet recommends a cup of grapefruit juice or a cup of grapefruit sections, with 8 and 18 carbs respectively. Even the most generous phases of the Atkins diet, when it comes to grapefruit, recommends limiting intake to below 8 carbs per day. the two diets just don’t mesh.

A smart person would immediately peruse the Atkins web site in search of the Atkins Grapefruit diet. It starts to sound fishy when there’s no mention there.

Don’t forget the following. Any diet that relies too heavily on one food or food group is going to be unhealthy. The Atkins Grapefruit Diet is not associated with the Atkins diet, and may interfere with the results of the Atkins diet in its early phases.

Wu Yi Tea Diet Plan Part I

Drinking wu yi tea is a great way to boost your weight loss efforts. It has numerous benefits to your health. The key is to follow a great diet and exercise plant that includes drinking wu yi tea. When you want to be fit and healthy, you need to follow a great weight loss menu, and I am happy to share the weight loss plan that I use to stay trim and healthy!

I will be doing this in two parts because I want you to understand the weight loss plan. I will explain the basics behind the weight loss plan today and give you specific foods and recipes in the next blog post. This way, you will be able to adjust and come up with more weight loss meals with wu yi tea and continue to lose weight.

I try to stick with eating foods that are nutritionally dense, satisfying and practical. I choose those items that will offer me an abundance of nutrients, yet with less cost to the daily calorie budget. In addition, I incorporate my wu yi tea in a number of ways including a lovely mid afternoon sweet treat!

You might be thinking, Yuck, Caitlin! I do not want to eat healthy foods all day. They do not have any flavor! That is only because nobody has told you how to flavor healthy foods like whole grains and veggies!

The following flavorings are virtually zero calorie natural alternatives for flavoring food: pepper sauces, vinegars, Dijon mustards (no honey Dijon’s!), onions, garlic, and tomatoes. In order to lose weight, it is highly important that you consume plenty of fiber found in grains and veggies. Fiber is very important for weight loss.

Never, ever skip breakfast! It has been proven repeatedly that people who eat a healthy breakfast within an hour of waking are generally more fit and healthy. I used to skip breakfast because I thought I did not have time. Make time!

When I made time for a healthy breakfast, I lost 5 pounds of weight that very first week! I simply set my alarm clock 15 minutes earlier and took the time to eat a healthful breakfast and sip on a mug of oolong tea! Your metabolism will be higher and you will be able to burn more calories throughout the day.

Throughout the day, you can drink wu yi tea either hot or iced. I like to brew a big pitcher of wu yi tea in the morning. (Secret! Throw in a few bags of flavored herbal teas such as blueberry or peach!) Take the wu yi tea with you in a portable mug.

Staying hydrated is important for weight loss and the oolong tea, of course, contains water which will keep your fluid levels optimum. You can always switch to a decaf oolong tea in the afternoon if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Stop thinking that if you go without meals, that you will lose weight faster. No! You need to eat throughout the day in order to boost your metabolism and lose body fat, or you will merely lose lean body mass. Eat smaller, healthy meals and snacks throughout the day.

I cannot tell you how much easier weight loss is if you plan and prepare in advance. You are going to want to stock your kitchen with plenty of fresh, prepared veggies such as spring greens and assorted, colorful veggies. Purchase a variety of zero-calorie flavors and try keeping plenty of lean protein choices on hand in the freezer such as chicken or turkey breast. Keep canned tuna (water-packed) in the pantry.

Try this! Plan ahead and cook an extra piece of lean protein at your evening meal to use at your lunch the next day to make it easy to stick with your wu yi weight loss plan.

The Super Food Ingredients of Wu Yi Tea

If you’ve tried out a few weight loss diets, you are well aware that it can be tough to lose weight. However, it?s even tougher to keep those excess pounds off once you lose them. You may have been able to reach your target weight through a diet, but unless you have the time for a daily workout routine, maintaining this weight can be a real struggle. What you need to achieve and maintain a healthy weight is a safe, all natural and inexpensive weight loss aid.

What you should be looking for is Wu Yi tea. Wu Yi tea is a type of oolong tea which is grown and processed at Mount Wu Yi, in China?s Fujian province. For centuries, the Chinese have been enjoying Wu Yi tea, prizing it for its health benefits and it?s rich, robust taste, The Chinese are famed for their long life spans and good health ? something which it is believed that drinking oolong teas may contribute to.

It should come as little surprise then that clinical research has borne out this theory. The compounds found in Wu Yi tea can help to promote weight loss along with other benefits. A large and aging baby boomer population is increasingly turning to natural products to help them age in a healthy way ? which the antioxidant content of Wu Yi tea helps them do.

The dying and fermenting process undergone by the Wu Yi tea leaves make the tea full of polyphenols, a compound which helps you body to break down fat and burn it as energy.

Research in the US, Asia and Europe have shown that Wu Yi tea has numerous health benefits. There are polyphenols, which help your body break down fat and use this stored energy. Wu Yi and other oolong teas have also been proven in Japanese studies to increase the energy expenditure of people ewho drink it. There is a 10% increase in the amount of energy burned off by people who drink oolong tea in the two hours following consumption.

Because of its effectiveness in burning fat, Wu Yi tea can also balance cholesterol levels by raising HDL (good) cholesterol and lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol. Research has also shown, however, that the polyphenols in Wu Yi tea do far more than promote that burning and cholesterol control. The results of a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition state that research done at London’s King College indicate that polyphenols can protect the body against cellular damage, lowering the risks of heart attack and cancer. The calcium found in Wu Yi tea improves bone density and guards against the development of oral plaque and tooth decay.

3. Green tea also works to suppress your appetite just because it keeps your sugar level steady. With it regulating your sugar level, your sugar cravings are less and thus, you won’t feel the urge to eat high fat and sweet food. You will also have less appetite which will result in you eating less. When you eat less, that means, less calories and ultimately, you lose weight.
