Green tea has been around for decades and is a staple nutrient in some countries diet. There is a wealth of literature that shows the health benefits of green tea. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an anti oxidant found in green tea is twice as potent as resveratrol (anti oxidant), found in red wine. Start with a couple cups of green tea a day and then move on to using capsules. Capsules allow for more of the green tea extract (which has been proven to increase fat loss, fight cancer, lower blood sugar and lower blood pressure) to be utilized.
