Natural Weight-Loss Tools

Natessance Green Coffee 400 is a new food supplement in capsule form that comprises decaffeinated Robusta green coffee beans. It contains Svetol® which helps to reduce the absorption of sugar from food that, in turn, cuts down the number of calories taken up by the body.

Clinical studies on taking Green Coffee Svetol over eight weeks at 400mg per day have shown:

· A decrease in weight by nearly 6%

· An increase in the proportion of muscle to fat ratio of 4%

· A decrease in the Body Mass Index of nearly 6%

· All without changing their diet

How does it work?

Ingredients in the Robusta green coffee bean inhibit the uptake of glucose in the intestines, regulating metabolism and resulting in weight loss over a period of 60 days. Already recognised as an excellent anti-ageing food, Robusta green coffee is loaded with anti-oxidants which fight free radicals, the substances that cause cell damage and disease.

Natessance takes the decaffeinated extract from the unroasted Robusta green coffee bean to avoid the negative health issues associated with excess caffeine. Six cups of caffeinated coffee a day causes dehydration and can overstimulate the body resulting in a variety of health problems. It is also believed that roasting coffee beans lessens the sugar balancing compounds.

Exercise alone produces modest weight loss; when combined with a reduced-calorie diet, the effects are much more impressive.

In a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, University of Pittsburgh researchers found that people who exercised regularly and ate a healthy, modest-calorie diet lost weight and improved cardiorespiratory fitness regardless of the length or intensity of their workouts.

Another study published in JAMA showed that it is never too late to reap the benefits of physical activity. Sedentary women 65 years and older who began walking a mile a day cut their rates of death from all causes by 50%.

Green Tea - In Asia, Green Tea, or Camellia sinensis, has been administered for specific diseases as well as general overall health for over 5000 years. In certain countries, people consume on average of a liter of green tea each day as a cultural drink as well as Green Tea being attributed to improving everything from digestive to circulatory health.
Green Tea's weight loss effects are a result of its ability to increase the metabolic rate and allowing the acceleration of the fat burning process. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 1999 Dec;70(6):1040-5). Green Tea extracts has also been known to inhibit FAS (fatty acid synthase) to decrease appetites and lead to significant weight loss.
A recent study further validates green tea's effectiveness. Published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr; 81:122-129), it indicated the ingestion of Green Tea, which is rich in catechins, leads to both a lowering of bodyfat and of cholesterol levels. In fact, Green Tea catechins have been known to produce anti-obesity effects by increasing energy expenditure, reduce respiratory quotient, which leads to increase in ratio of fat: carbohydrate oxidization. In fact, a twelve week study in males, Green Tea has been shown to produce significant reduction in body weight, body fat, and visceral fat area.
