• What is Green Tea?
Green Tea is a variety of tea derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Unlike black or oolong teas, it undergoes minimal processing, which helps retain its natural antioxidants and nutrients.

Whether enjoyed hot, cold, or as a supplement, green tea remains a popular choice for those seeking a healthy lifestyle.

• Can Green Tea help you lose weight?
Green tea can help support weight loss by:
- Boosting Metabolism: Green tea contains caffeine and catechins - particularly EGCG - which can help slightly increase your resting metabolic rate, allowing your body to burn more calories even at rest.

- Improves Exercise Performance: The moderate caffeine content in green tea can provide a gentle energy boost, potentially helping you work out longer or at a higher intensity, leading to increased calorie burn.
- Supports Appetite Management: While not a direct appetite suppressant, drinking green tea between meals can help keep you hydrated and feeling more satisfied, which may reduce unnecessary snacking.
