Green Tea Pills and the Health Benefits of Green Tea

Have you considered taking green tea pills? There are many health benefits of green tea including relief from headaches, aid for the digestive system, and weight loss.

Since it is late December at the time I am writing this article you will be reading a lot about how green tea will give the boost you need for weight loss. Green tea can help increase your metabolism and fat oxidation to help you lose weight.

After the holidays and in the beginning of a new year lots of people make resolutions to lose weight. You know those five to ten pounds that you put on during all the Christmas and New Year feast and parties. You will find many advertisements for green tea pills to aid you with getting those extra pounds off.

Other health benefits of green tea range from helping combat heart disease to helping ward off cancer. A study in Japan was published in the Journal Of the American Medical Association that shows a significant reduction in heart disease in green tea drinkers.

The study involved 40,000 people over a period of 11 years. The people who drank more than five cups of green tea per day had a 16% lower risk of overall mortality or death related to cardiovascular disease than those who drank less than one cup of green tea per day. In this study the health benefits of green tea were also associated with reduction in the risk of strokes.

If taking green tea supplements will reduce the risk of heart disease by 16% I would estimate many more people will consider taking them. If you are one of those people you may want to know there are supplements available that combine green tea extract with other well known vitamins, minerals, and herbal products that will give you all the benefits of green tea and then some.

Purchasing one tablet with many ingredients in it will be far less expensive than buying the supplements separately. So if you are considering green tea pills, check out my web site to learn more about nutritional supplements and information on maintaining good health.

Any evidence that pomegranate pills are as effective as taking the juice itself?

Seems like every time I pick up a magazine I hear more about the wonders of pomegranate juice as a nutritional supplement from everything to cardio health, plaque in arteries, even erectile dysfunction. Many health food stores sell pomegranate pills, and I was wondering if there was any truth to these claims and if the efficacy of pills is equivalent to drinking the actual juice, which can be expensive. And if the pills are beneficial, how many mg. per day should one take? Or is it all just another "herbal remedy" having its 15 minutes of fame? I appreciate your help!

For certain fresh pomegranate juice is better than any pill. Juice of the pomegranate has been found effective in reducing heart disease risk factors, including LDL oxidation, macrophage oxidative status, and foam cell formation, all of which are steps in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
