Green tea x 3 fights obesity

Green tea

Drinking just three cups of green tea a day could help you lose weight, even if you still indulge in junk food.

A study by Queensland University found that a certain blend of green tea could cut blood pressure and make it easier for the body to process sugar, keeping obesity at bay.

Spearole Tea is a blend of green tea, spearmint, grape seed and olive leaf extract.

In laboratory tests, the Aussie researchers discovered that rats eating a fat-and sugar-rich diet doubled their waist size and their blood pressure rocketed.

But when the tea was added to their diets, the fat around their middles disappeared and blood pressure returned to normal – even when they were still eating a 'junk food' diet.

'If someone had told me you could do all these things with something as simple as green tea with olive extract I would say they'd been out in the sun too long. It is simply amazing,' said lead researcher Dr Lindsay Brown.

Dr Brown said drinking three cups of the tea every day could have the same effect on people.

The researchers believe the tea works by blocking fat cells from releasing chemical signals that attract more fat, causing them to grow bigger.

Previous studies have found that green tea may be able to reduce appetite, curb cravings, lower cholesterol and can reduce the risk of some cancers.

Spearole tea is made by Dr Red Nutraceuticals.
