Green Tea Can Help You Lose Weight After Giving Birth

One of the most common problems of women who just gave birth is going back to their pre-pregnant weight. It is indeed difficult to remove the accumulated fat on the belly; women need to undergo exercise and eat a healthy diet to go back in their original weight. But this is not easy to do because once a woman gave birth; her time is mostly devoted for her baby…

But worry no more because I read here that drinking green tea can help women lose their unwanted belly fat.  According to that article, a standardized green tea supplement has 90mg of EGCG or Epigallocatechin Gallate and 50mg caffeine. These substances are said to cause a boost in noradrenalin that can help body boost its metabolism and suppress appetite.

These substances are not really harmful to our body especially if we take it into moderation; say 2 to 3 cups of tea daily. Instead of drink sweetened juice, coffee with cream or soda, a cup of warm green tea is more beneficial for women who want to lose weight after giving birth.

What if the woman is breastfeeding? Well, she needs to consult her doctor or her baby’s paediatrician to be sure. But generally, a cup or two of green tea is not harmful even to pregnant women so I think, breastfeeding mothers may take green tea safely.
