Green Tea and Triglycerides
Lose Weight And Blood Thinning

A green tea and triglycerides study found that green tea reduces blood level triglycerides and promotes weight loss.

Triglycerides is the chemical form in which most fat exists in our body. High blood levels of triglyceride are associated with the hardening and thickening of arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to heart attack or stroke.

A study conducted by the University of Hong Kong suggested that green tea reduces cholesterols and triglyceride levels.

Hamsters were first fed a high fat diet to raise their cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They were then given either green tea extract or water to drink for 4 to 5 weeks.

It was found that a human equivalent of 3 cups a day significantly reduces the blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.

This green tea and triglycerides study was published in the June 1999 edition of Journal of Nutrition.
