CAN GREEN TEA PLAY A ROLE IN CUTTING VISCERAL FAT?

Possibly, yes. For example;

It raises fat burning during physical activity

A study indicated that men consuming green tea before exercise can burn 17% more fat compared to nonusers. Another eight-week study also confirmed that the tea contains catechins compound that boosts fat burning during rest and exercise. Therefore, green tea intake and exercise can increase visceral fat reduction.

It can increase metabolism

We normally burn fat throughout the day through various body functions, even at rest. Well, research suggests that taking green tea can increase metabolism and cause more fat burning, including at bedtime. People who participated in one study lost 7.3 pounds more every day, which went up to three months. That implies that results can be long term.

Increases fat cell burning

Green tea contains active compounds that elevate production of norepinephrine hormones, which increase fat burning in fat cells before getting transported to the bloodstream. Compounds like EGCG in green tea blocks an enzyme that destroys norepinephrine. This implies increase in the hormone resulting in more efficient fat cell burning.
