Fat-Burning Beverage

Fat-Burning Beverage
By Kelley Herring
Looking to slim down? Try adding this fat-burning beverage to your daily repertoire.
Green tea has long been praised for its antioxidant benefits. New research shows it has thermogenic - or fat-burning - attributes, as well.
Researchers believe that green tea works its fat-melting magic due to a unique interaction between two compounds - caffeine and catechins. These two substances work together to help the body release noradrenaline (NA), a chemical neurotransmitter that boosts the metabolism and helps burn more calories.
Kick up your body's fat-burning furnace (and get powerful antioxidants, too!) by enjoying green tea. To get the maximum benefit, steep at least two minutes.
