We know that green tea can prevent many diseases because green tea contains many recommended medicinal ingredients. So does green tea have any effect on fat metabolism? A recent study showed that consuming green tea or green tea extract the night and an hour before a 30-minute cycling session increased the rate of fat metabolism by 20% (which is already a greatly improved). Green tea extract mainly contains tea polyphenols. (Tea polyphenols are one of the strongest phenols with antioxidant properties). Conversely, if you want to increase the rate of fat metabolism by 20%, you need to consume a sufficient amount of tea polyphenols, which means consuming a liter of green tea.
The principle of fat oxidation by tea polyphenols: tea polyphenols can speed up the rate at which enzymes break down catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine), which will lead to higher concentrations of catecholamines, which will stimulate lipid breakdown, resulting in more oxidized fatty acids.
In conclusion, green tea or green tea extract can increase the rate at which fat cells break down and release fatty acids for fat metabolism. This may help with weight loss. But this is only one of the favorable factors for weight loss.
