Pure Green Coffee Bean
I have not tried using green coffee beans to
lose weight but thought this article might give some insight into a new use for
coffee with healthy outcomes.
Green Coffee Beans are coffee beans that are
fresh and have not been roasted.
Coffee Beans naturally contain a compound called
Chlorogenic Acid, which is the active weight loss compound in pure green coffee
beans. Roasting coffee beans destroys
the Chlorogenic Acid.
Recent clinical studies and trials have shown
that the specific combination of Chlorogenic Acid and caffeine are effective
for weight loss.
Green coffee beans have been shown to inhibit fat
absorption and also stimulate the activation of fat metabolism in the
liver, both major supporters of weight reduction.
The Chlorogenic acid found in green coffee beans is a natural
phytochemical that is found in a wide array of plants, with very high
concentrations in green coffee beans. It
has been found to inhibit the release of glucose into the blood, particularly
after meals, and appears to help people lose weight as a result.
Chlorogenic acid may also be
able to induce body fat loss by increasing body heat produced, thus promoting
thermogenesis, the natural burning of fat for energy. It is also believed to reduce the generation
of new fat cells due to its superior anti-oxidant effects.
Chlorogenic acid does not
appear to be absorbed by the small intestine.
It is believed that Chlorogenic acid can bind to certain compounds and
therefore hinder the absorption of dietary fat.
The results are consistent with human and animal studies and suggest green
coffee beans are an effective tool for any weight reduction plan and may be
specifically successful in reducing weight in pre-obese adults.
Overall Health - Many polyphenols function as antioxidants. Chlorogenic acid is
a polyphenol.
Chlorogenic
acid has also been used for treating hypertension by neutralizing free radicals
and regenerating vitamin E. Blood
pressure (both systolic and diastolic) has also been shown to decrease
significantly during clinical studies of Chlorogenic acid ingestion.
Healthy Blood Sugar Levels - Chlorogenic
acid has been touted as supporting healthy blood sugar levels. A number of population studies identified Chlorogenic acid
users as being substantially less likely to get Type 2 diabetes. Further research has
suggested the reason for this as being the effects of the Chlorogenic acid on
glucose metabolism. Glucose is stored in the liver in a polysaccharide called
glycogen. In a process known as glycogenolysis, the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase releases free glucose into the
bloodstream, where it circulates to various organs. If glycogenolysis is inhibited, the body gets
its energy from fat cells. This reduces blood glucose levels, helping to reduce the symptoms and also, reducing the amount
of fat stored leading to weight loss.
