Green Tea, ally weight loss




New beneficial properties of green tea consumption on our health scientific studies show, recently announced the first European Symposium on Catechins in Paris. Η κατανάλωση πράσινου τσαγιού μπορεί να βοηθήσει στον έλεγχο του σωματικού βάρους! Drinking green tea can help in weight control!
Διάφορες μελέτες σε ανθρώπους επιβεβαιώνουν ότι οι θερμογενετικές ιδιότητες του τσαγιού και η ικανότητα του να διεγείρει τις καύσεις και την οξείδωση του λίπους οφείλονται όχι μόνον στην περιεχόμενη καφεΐνη αλλά, κυρίως, στις κατεχίνες. Several studies in humans confirm that thermogenetikes properties of tea and its ability to stimulate the combustion and oxidation of fat due not only to the caffeine content, but especially in catechins.
Στα υπέρβαρα άτομα που μελετήθηκαν και τα οποία κατανάλωναν καθημερινά εκχύλισμα πράσινου τσαγιού πλούσιου σε κατεχίνες, το σωματικό βάρος και η περίμετρος της μέσης μειώθηκαν κατά περίπου 5%. In overweight people studied who drank daily green tea extract rich in catechins, body weight and waist circumference decreased by about 5%. Ο σχετικός μηχανισμός συνίσταται στην αύξηση της θερμογένεσης και την αναστολή της παγκρεατικής γαστρικής λιπάσης. The relevant mechanism is to increase thermogenesis and inhibition of pancreatic gastric lipase.
Η κατανάλωση πράσινου τσαγιού επιτυγχάνει επίσης να περιορίσει το βάρος που πιθανόν επανακτά κανείς μετά το τέλος μιας δίαιτας. Drinking green tea also achieves to reduce the weight one might regain after dieting. Παράλληλα, η κατανάλωση τσαγιού με υψηλή περιεκτικότητα σε κατεχίνες για τρεις μήνες (690 mg/ημέρα) συνοδεύεται από απώλεια βάρους, μείωση της περιμέτρου της μέσης (μείωση λόγου περιμέτρου μέσης/ περιμέτρου γλουτών), μείωση του συνολικού λίπους και συνεπώς αλλαγή της κατανομής του σωματικού λίπους. In parallel, consumption of tea high in catechins for three months (690 mg / day) accompanied by weight loss, reduced waist circumference (reduction ratio waist / buttocks circumference), reduction of total fat and thus change the distribution of body fat.
Τέλος, η κατανάλωσή του κατά τη διάρκεια δίαιτας φτωχής σε θερμίδες αποτρέπει την επιβράδυνση των καύσεων -η οποία παρατηρείται συνήθως στην περίπτωση που η δίαιτα προβλέπει χαμηλή πρόσληψη θερμίδων- και συνεπώς ευνοείται η ταχύτερη απώλεια βάρους. Finally, the consumption during a diet poor in calories prevents slowing of fuel which is commonly observed when the diet provides low-calorie intake and thus favoring more rapid weight loss.
Τσάι και κατεχίνες Tea and Catechins
 The catechins are a group of highly active compounds which belong to the family of flavonoids. Η κύρια διατροφική πηγή κατεχινών είναι το τσάι, καθώς οι κατεχίνες απαντώνται φυσικά στα φύλλα του. The main dietary source of catechins is the tea and catechins found naturally in the leaves.
Από όλα τα είδη τσαγιού, το πράσινο τσάι έχει την υψηλότερη περιεκτικότητα σε κατεχίνες λόγω της διαδικασίας παραγωγής του. Of all the teas, green tea has the highest content of catechins due to the manufacturing process. Αμέσως μετά την συγκομιδή το πράσινο τσάι υποβάλλεται σε θερμική επεξεργασία η οποία αποτρέπει ή σταματά την περαιτέρω οξείδωση των κατεχινών. Immediately after harvesting green tea undergoes heat treatment that stops or prevents further oxidation of catechins.
Ένα φλιτζάνι πράσινου τσαγιού (200 ml) περιέχει περίπου 90 mg κατεχινών. A cup of green tea (200 ml) contains about 90 mg catechins. Σήμερα μπορεί κανείς να βρει πράσινο τσάι πλούσιο σε κατεχίνες, το οποίο περιέχει 230 mg κατεχινών ανά φλιτζάνι (200 ml). Today you can find green tea rich in catechins, which contains 230 mg catechins per cup (200 ml).
Αξιοσημείωτο είναι ότι οι μεγαλύτερες ποσότητες κατεχινών αποδίδονται στο ρόφημα κατά τη διάρκεια των πρώτων λεπτών της εμβάπτισης. It is noteworthy that larger amounts of catechins are attributed to drinking during the first minutes of immersion. Η ποσότητα που απελευθερώνεται αυξάνεται όσο μεγαλύτερη είναι η διάρκεια της εμβάπτισης (στη Γαλλία συνήθως 1 ως 5 λεπτά της ώρας). The amount released increases as the duration of immersion (in France usually 1 to 5 minutes). Η ποσότητα κατεχινών σε ένα φλιτζάνι τσάι μετά από 5 λεπτά της ώρας είναι υπερδιπλάσια σε σύγκριση με ένα φλιτζάνι τσαγιού στο οποίο εμβαπτίσαμε το τσάι για ένα λεπτό της ώρας. The amount of catechins in a cup of tea after 5 minutes is more than double compared to a cup of tea in which dip tea for one minute.
Κατεχίνες και οφέλη στην υγεία Catechins and health benefits
Οι ευεργετικές για την υγεία επιπτώσεις των κατεχινών του τσαγιού φαίνεται ότι επιτυγχάνονται με τους εξής τρόπους: The beneficial health effects of tea catechins appear to achieve the following ways:
  • προστασία της καρδιάς και των αγγείων και προστασία των λιποπρωτεϊνών από υπεροξείδωση protect the heart and blood vessels and protection of lipoproteins from per oxidation
  • ρύθμιση του λιπιδικού προφίλ regulation of lipid profiles
  • ενίσχυση των αντιοξειδωτικών αμυντικών μηχανισμών του σώματος, ιδιαίτερα των βιταμινών E και C enhancing the antioxidant defenses of the body, particularly vitamins E and C
  • αντιφλεγμονώδης και νευροπροστατευτική δράση κατά της εγκεφαλικής ισχαιμίας anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activity against cerebral ischemia
  • διέγερση της θερμογένεσης, της οξείδωσης του λίπους και των καύσεων (παραγωγή ενέργειας). Stimulation of thermo genesis, fat oxidation and combustion (power generation).
  • βελτίωση της ευαισθησίας (ανταπόκρισης) στην ινσουλίνη improved sensitivity (responsiveness) to insulin
Catechins intake, body composition and fat distribution

Shanghai Research

Η κατανάλωση πράσινου τσαγιού αλλάζει τη σύσταση του σώματος. Drinking green tea change body composition. Ιδιαίτερα, διαπιστώθηκαν αποτελέσματα της μείωσης του σπλαχνικού λίπους σε σχέση με την πρόσληψη κατεχινών σε πρόσφατη μελέτη της Ιατρικής Σχολής της Σαγκάης. In particular, results revealed a reduction of visceral fat in relation to the recruitment of catechins in a recent study by the Medical School of Shanghai.
Στην πιλοτική φάση αυτής της έρευνας, με τη συμμετοχή 160 ενηλίκων, διαπιστώθηκε ότι η πρόσληψη κατεχινών (470mg/ ημέρα ή 470mg δις ημερησίως) επιφέρει, μετά από 8 εβδομάδες, μείωση του βάρους και της περιμέτρου της μέσης, χωρίς να παρατηρηθεί συσχέτιση με τη δόση. In the pilot phase of this research, involving 160 adults, found that the intake of catechins (470mg / day or 470mg twice daily) leads, after 8 weeks, reducing weight and waist circumference, with no observed correlation with the dose .
Στην εν λόγω μελέτη της Ιατρικής Σχολής της Σαγκάης σε τυχαία βάση, με την χρήση διπλού τυφλού δείγματος και placebo (ψευδοφάρμακου), υγιείς ενήλικοι (18-55 ετών) έλαβαν, αντίστοιχα, επί 12 εβδομάδες διαφορετικές ποσότητες κατεχινών (458 mg άπαξ ημερησίως για την ομάδα I, 234mg/ δις ημερησίως για την ομάδα II και 443 mg/ δις ημερησίως για την ομάδα III). In this study, the Medical School of Shanghai on a random basis, using double-blind sample and placebo (placebo) healthy adults (18-55 years) were, respectively, for 12 weeks different amounts of catechins (458 mg once daily for Group I, 234mg / twice daily for group II and 443 mg / twice daily for group III). Βάρος, συνολικό λίπος, ποσοστό σπλαγχνικού λίπους και περίμετρος μέσης μετρήθηκαν κατά την έναρξη της μελέτης και εν συνεχεία μετά από 4, 8 και 12 εβδομάδες δοκιμής. Weight, total fat, percentage visceral fat and waist circumference were measured at baseline and then after 4, 8 and 12 weeks trial.
In the group administered 443 mg twice daily catechins observe a statistically significant reduction in weight, waist circumference, total fat and visceral fat distribution. 
Στην ομάδα που χορηγήθηκαν 443 mg κατεχινών δις ημερησίως παρατηρούμε στατιστικά σημαντική μείωση του βάρους, της περιμέτρου της μέσης, του συνολικού λίπους και της κατανομής του σπλαγχνικού λίπους.
In conclusion, the amount of visceral fat is regulated by the recruitment of catechins, depending on dose. Drinking tea rich in catechins is associated not only with a reduction in body weight and in particular the reduction of visceral fat, a risk factor for the abdomen.
Συμπερασματικά, η ποσότητα σπλαγχνικού λίπους ρυθμίζεται με την πρόσληψη κατεχινών, σε συνάρτηση με τη δόση.
Περιεκτικότητα τροφίμων σε κατεχίνες Strength food catechins
Οι κατεχίνες βρίσκονται σε διάφορες τροφές όπως το τσάι, τα φρούτα και οι χυμοί φρούτων, το κρασί και η σοκολάτα. The catechins found in various foods such as tea, fruits and fruit juices, wine and chocolate. Οι ποσότητες διαφέρουν πολύ από τη μία τροφή στην άλλη και βασικά εξαρτώνται από το είδος του φυτού. The amounts vary greatly from one food to another and basically depend on the type of plant.
Δύο τροφές φαίνεται να είναι ιδιαίτερα πλούσιες σε κατεχίνες: το τσάι (ιδιαίτερα το πράσινο τσάι) και η σοκολάτα. Two foods appear to be particularly rich in catechins: tea (especially green tea) and chocolate. Παρόλα αυτά, αν λάβουμε υπόψη μας τη συνήθη μερίδα, είναι σαφές ότι το τσάι αποτελεί την κύρια πηγή κατεχινών. However, if we consider the normal portion, it is clear that tea is the main source of catechins. Σε αντίθεση μάλιστα με άλλες τροφές που είναι πηγές κατεχινών, στο τσάι, και ιδιαίτερα στο πράσινο τσάι, οι κατεχίνες αποτελούν την πλειονότητα των φλαβονοειδών. In contrast even with other foods that are sources of catechins in tea, especially green tea, catechins are the most flavonoids.
