Losing weight with Green tea

Green tea is rich in flavonoids, a group of plant pigments commonly known as bioflavonoids. Flavonoids function as antioxidants, protecting the body against some types of cancer; evidence that a subclass of flavonoids called "tea catechins" helps control fat oxidation suggests that green tea may play a role in weight management. The tea is usually brewed using 1 or 2 teasppons of dried tea in a cup of boiling water. Green tea extracts are also available in capsule form.
