A recent publication by the American Society of Clinical Nutrition reported that regular consumption of quality green tea improves the efficiency of energy use in the human body. Through in vivo studies, the study ascertained that the daily energy expenditure rate of adults increases 35-45% with regular consumption of green tea.

This finding is particularly interesting because the increase in calorie burning related to green tea consumption was not accompanied by an increase in blood pressure, which is the unfortunate side effect that comes with many weight-loss pills.
