Does Green Tea Dieting have any Side Effects?

American and Chine se researchers have been studying Green Tea and how it effects the levels of Cholesterol. Views are still mixed as there seems to be pros and cons for both sides of the research.

When the research was conducted, approximately 200 men and women (average age 55) who have mild to moderately high LDL cholesterol levels joined in the case study. The researchers told them to keep their usual activity levels the same as before and eat the same way. After twelve weeks, it was shown that individuals who consumed green tea extract with their normal meals lost more than fifteen percent of their total LDL cholesterol levels.

It has never been explained in detail exactly how green tea effects the levels of cholesterol but certain components found in green tea have proven to play a key role in excreting cholesterol from the body.

Further studies were conducted to test the findings of the first group. Their results were conflicting. They did state green tea had no important effect on the cholesterol profiles of their subjects.

Here is an example of a perfect situation where something that is organic does not get the support of the medical community, which to me is a complete load of ….

When my son was 3 years old he got the chicken pox. Most kids do get it, but the problem was, he got it everywhere. There literally was not one square centimeter on him that did not have a spot on it. This kid was in so much pain we took him to the hospital 3 times to try and find something that would help ease the pain of being so itchy. Three trips to the doctor resulted in nothing being prescribed.

Finally a family member recommended for us to try the extract from an Aloe Vera plant. Once I found one to buy, I applied it to my son and with in 15 minuets he had stopped crying, and he was no longer itchy.

My youngest son got the chicken pox when he was 6 months old. We had to take him to the hospital just to be safe (6 months old is a bad age to get the chicken pox) and when we were there I told the nurse what we got to work with our oldest boy. She told us she knew that all ready. I asked why no one would tell us and her response was “we are not permitted to recommend organic forms of medicine” I was like…..ok, just let the kid suffer then?

Even though there is tons of evidence supporting major success with dieters using green tea to help them lose weight y guess is if it is not made by a pharmaceutical company doctors can not support it, right?

Is Detox Diet workable?

People in general are followers. An example of this, we can see very clearly is the Presidential Race this is going on now in America. You will see Obama’ s camp have their group of followers and likewise too Senator McCain’s camp too. This is also evident too when it comes to fad diet plans. Nowadays we can find many obese people in their quest to lose weight keep following the latest fad on diet plan. One of the latest fad diet plan that is fast becoming popular is the Detox diet plan. How effective this plan is hard to say as those who lost weight initially seems to gain it all back.

This is because our bodies are already filled with toxins that we pick up from the air we breathe, the water that we drink, the food that we eat and even from what we use everyday. As such any steps that we will seem to be ineffectual. Our bodies has already a natural system which deal with harmful toxins that occurs naturally but it cannot cope with those which comprises of synthetic chemicals introduced into our bodies from our environments.

It is not that only adults’ bodies are full of toxins; studies have pointed out that even a newborn child inherits loads of toxins from his mother’s body. Scientists have also claimed that the detox diets simply do not work the way they should and hence, they are totally unnecessary!

The toxins within our bodies cause us to eat more than we should. And at the same time, our body ability to burn the extra calories effectively has diminished. The end results will be that all the excess calories will end up as fats deposited in our bodies. Therefore it will be wise to avoid processed foods like butter, cream and even some cheese as they have toxins in them which are harmful to us.

The best detox diet plan which you can follow is to just avoid foods which had been processed but go for foods that re organically grown. Good examples of good foods are raw fruits, vegetables which can help a person lose weight quickly. Another good thing to do is to drink more water as water will assist our bodies to increase its metabolism rate. Do not take beer, Alcohol, soda & soft drinks. Abstain from foods like white flour & Sugar as well. These types of foods provides your body with nothing except “empty calories” which ultimately gets converted to fats in our bodies.

Foods containing complex carbs such as potatoes are also good for your health!

Take unsaturated fats like those which can be found in Tuna, Salmon etc. Avoid saturated fats which are present in Butter & cream which only makes a person fat. In conclusion, I hope this version of the detox diet plan will be able to help you with quick weight loss.
