How to Make Green Tea Lemonade for Weight Loss

Many people have realized that being overweight is unhealthy, and are trying to find original recipes to help them lose the extra pounds.
Green tea lemonade is one of the drinks people are starting to use to help with weight loss.

Besides being delicious and refreshing, green tea lemonade is really easy to make. Also the ingredients- green tea, lemon, honey, and cinnamon- are things you’d find in your own kitchen. And the best is that these ingredients help with weight loss.

Here are some ways these ingredients are great for weight loss.

Green Tea

Green tea has an antioxidant that helps burn fat and keeps your metabolism rate high. A study done in 2007 showed that this antioxidant can increase fat oxidation, which is why green tea is a great choice to fight obesity.

Lemon

Lemon is one of the best sources for vitamin C, which helps your body burn fat. A 2005 study showed that getting enough vitamin C can help the body burn 30 percent more fat during exercise.

Honey

Another great ingredient for weight loss is honey. Honey has a slow effect on blood sugar compared to regular table sugar. This helps to control the appetite and keep a healthy weight.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is also an important ingredient for weight loss. But cinnamon cannot cause weight loss itself. It’s very important to eat less calories and to exercise all the time. A study done in 2006 showed that cinnamon extract helps better body composition by raising lean mass and lowering body fat.
