Tea Anyone??
Green tea extract boosts exercise endurance in animals
This is a very encouraging finding :American Journal of Physiology, Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology (10.1152/ajpregu.00693.2004) that green tea extract appears to stimulate the use of fatty acids by the muscle, reducting carbohydrate use and allowing for longer exercise times.It is certain that the applications would be in Natural Herb base suplement & some sport drinks.The 6,000 years of Green Tea history is now confirmed by moderm research. However, the research done by the herbs Guru basically derive from thousands generation of physical test. It is the habits & routine in those years & days that Tea & Green Tea are serve throughout the day & even after dinner.Green Tea Extract Boosts Exercise Endurance In Animals28/01/2005 - Green tea extract could become a novel ingredient for the sports nutrition industry if new findings on animals can be confirmed in human tests.A team from the Japanese healthcare company Kao has found that mice given green tea extract regularly over 10 weeks increased their endurance in exercise by up to 24 per cent.They explain in an online edition of the American Journal of Physiology, Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology (10.1152/ajpregu.00693.2004) that green tea extract appears to stimulate the use of fatty acids by the muscle, reducting carbohydrate use and allowing for longer exercise times.Green tea's effect on fatty acid uptake, speeding up fat breakdown, is also thought to be the reason why it helps weight loss, another area studied by the Kao researchers, and already targeted by supplement makers.In the new experiments, on Balb/c mice swimming in an adjustable-current water pool, endurance exercise performance was boosted up to 24 per cent when the mice were given green tea extract at a dose of 0.5 per cent of their weight for 10 weeks.It increased 8 per cent with a 0.2 per cent by-weight addition to food, showing that the effect was dose-dependant.
