Catechins, a sub-class of polyphenols, or antioxidant compounds found in green tea could help promote exercise-induced abdominal fat loss, according to a new study. Green tea is a rich source of catechins, which are thought to play a beneficial role in reducing the risk of various diseases, including Alzheimer's, certain cancers, cardiovascular and oral health.
The current study found that consuming a beverage containing green tea catechins (625mg/d) may enhance exercise-induced loss of abdominal fat and improve triglyceride levels.
