The tea that melts belly fat: green tea

🔥 Why it works

Green tea is effective against abdominal fat because:

• Contains catechins (especially EGCG) → stimulate metabolism and thermogenesis .

• It has a moderate dose of caffeine → increases calorie expenditure and lipolysis (fat breakdown).

• It is rich in antioxidants → helps fight inflammation linked to fat accumulation.

🔬 Scientific studies confirm that green tea, combined with diet and physical activity , can reduce waist circumference over time.

🫖 How to prepare it best

To avoid losing its beneficial properties:

✅Classic green tea:

1. Heat the water to 80°C (do not boil).

2. Pour over 1 teaspoon of leaves or 1 green tea bag.

3. Leave to infuse for 2-3 minutes .

4. Drink it plain or with a few drops of lemon (it promotes the absorption of polyphenols).

👉 Directions for use:
Drink 2-3 cups a day , away from main meals, preferably in the morning or early afternoon.

🍵 Matcha: the enhanced version

Matcha is an ultra-concentrated green tea powder, excellent for speeding up the metabolism.

✅How to prepare it:

1. Heat 150-200 ml of water to 70-80°C .

2. Sift 1-2 g of matcha into a bowl.

3. Add a little hot water and mix with a bamboo whisk (chasen) until a light foam forms.

4. Add the rest of the water and mix.

5. (Optional) Add lemon or ginger for an extra thermogenic effect.

👉 When to drink it:
Preferably on an empty stomach in the morning or before training to maximize fat burning.
