Green Tea Diet, Better Than Water?
With the health benefits of green tea, some are saying that green tea diet is better than drinking water. Well, I can not validate this scientifically but it makes sense to me because green tea is unlike soda and juices which contains sugar.
Green tea, like ordinary drinking water has “zero” calorie, fat-free and almost tasteless. But unlike plain water, green tea has significant amount of anti-oxidants which is proven for its health benefits that prevent and repair damages done by free radicals. Anti-oxidants play important role in preventing serious health problems like heart disease, mascular degeneration, diabetes and even cancer.
And of course, the wonder of green tea diet is that it is effective in increasing our metabolism that can help us to burn more calories and aid in weight reduction. So I can say that the health benefits of putting a bag of green tea to a cup of water are tripled as compared with just drinking plain water.
After all, if you are into green tea diet like me, it means that your water intake is also good because green tea drink is actually made of water and engaging in this diet is one of the best methods that can make you look and feel better in and out.
