GREEN TEA MAY SUPPRESS APPETITE Print E-mail

A Neptune, N.J., supplement company says green tea extract may help suppress appetite. DynaPure Nutrition says its green tea product, WARP 9, may help reduce hunger pangs by decreasing a hormone called leptin and increasing a chemical neurotransmitter called noradrenaline. Leptin is a fat-produced protein that appears to play a key role in how the body manages fat storage through brain signals. WARP 9 formulator Pete Maletto says, "There is clear evidence that green tea's polyphenols are a factor in depressing leptin as well as affecting other hormone levels important in regulating appetite."

 

Green tea also may increase levels of noradrenaline, a chemical neurotransmitter in the nervous system that plays a major role in the activation of brown fat tissue, a metabolically active fat, he says. Activation of brown fat burns calories from the white fat located around our waistline, hips and thighs, Maletto says.

Wise Tips

It is traditional to lay slices of cucumber over the eyes while resting after a face pack has been applied. A wonderful alternative to this is to place used chamomile teabags over your eyes, but make sure they have cooled off first. Chamomile's soothing anti-inflammatory qualities refresh tired eyes and reduce redness and soreness.
