Amazing Health Benefits of Green Coffee

By Mamta
Green coffee beans are coffee beans that have not yet been roasted. These coffee beans contain a higher amount of the chemical chlorogenic acid. This chemical is thought to have health benefits. For high blood pressure it might affect blood vessels so that blood pressure is reduced.



For weight loss, chlorogenic acid in green coffee is thought to affect how the body handles blood sugar and metabolism.

Amazing Health Benefits of Green Coffee

Weight Loss

According to a study published in March 2006 in “BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine,” daily supplementation of an extract prepared from green coffee beans reduced body fat and body weight in mice, as well as fat composition in the liver. The effect was similar in mice supplemented with isolated chlorogenic acids and caffeine, which suggests that these are the compounds responsible for the effect.

Improved Mood and Cognitive Performance

The caffeine found in green coffee has a positive effect on your mood and brain activity. According to a review published in February 2008 in “Nutrition Bulletin,” several studies have confirmed that caffeine can improve reaction time, vigilance, memory, alertness, focus, fatigue resistance and other factors of cognitive performance. Reviewers found the optimal intake of green coffee to be between 38 to 400 milligrams per day, or between approximately 1/3 cup to four cups of brewed coffee.

Obesity

Early research shows that adults with obesity who take a specific green coffee extract (Svetol, Naturex) five times daily for 8 weeks to 12 weeks, either alone or together with the regular coffee product Coffee Slender (Med-Eq Ltd., Tonsberg, Norway), lose an average of 2.5 to 3.7 kg more weight than people taking a placebo or regular coffee by itself.
