Green Tea Fat Burner Diet - Must Know Facts

adipose tissues

Many are hailing green tea as one of the best weight loss products in the market. Some are saying that this is due to its fat burning capabilities -- and this claim is valid.


Studies show that green tea can help speed up metabolism by promoting better fat oxidation. In order to understand this fully, we need to first look into how calories work.


Calories are units of energy usually associated with food. The cells of the body absorb energy from the food and drinks we consume, while expelling energy as its by-product. If the person is eating right, there is a balance between the consumed calories and the expended ones. Unwanted weight gain is very unlikely in this scenario.

Gout Attacks!

uric acid

There is a naturally occurring substance in foods, and in the tissues of our bodies, called Purines. The human body uses uric acid to break down Purines. Sometimes a high Purine diet can lead to an excessive production of uric acid. When uric acid begins to build up, Gout, a form of arthritis, begins to develop.


Gout occurs when the uric acid begins to crystallize into razor sharp, jagged formations inside the blood stream. These microscopic crystals are the cause of the excruciating pain and swelling that gout is famous for. It is important to know what the causes are of uric acid accumulation and to recognize a gout attack when it's occurring.

Gout Care - What You Can Do

I studied gout in classes about anatomy and physiology. It was interesting in an intellectual way, and I could answer questions people asked me. Now, it's different. Not because *I* have it, but because my husband does.


When he was diagnosed, he was given a long list of "can'ts." This wouldn't be so bad, except that his cardiologist has given him *his* long list of "can'ts." Put them together and it makes a very long, very depressing list.


It doesn't have to be that way.


When dealing with something as painful as gout, avoiding a "next time" is important. However, there are differences of opinion as to how to accomplish this seeming miracle. Diet is the main focus, as what we eat is the predominant factor in predicting gout flare ups.
