A rich aroma, tonic bitter taste and a lot of pleasant associations - all this is not about green coffee. This product of a healthy diet is quite seriously different both in taste and in properties from the usual espresso. Today green coffee is credited with truly legendary "abilities" from complete neutralization of appetite, to the burning of fat directly in cages. And, according to rumors, he relieves atherosclerosis, improves the condition of the heart and blood vessels, and in general - the most powerful antioxidant, even better than green tea.

Useful properties of green coffee By the way, the taste of infusion of green milled beans coffee reminds mate or green tea, but not familiar to everyone drink. The only thing that brings them together, except for the title - a perceptible bitterness. True, green coffee is more herbal, rather than saturated.

A green unroasted coffee bean and its extracts are used, mainly as a source of chlorogenic acid. The substance is credited with the ability to burn fat, improve blood circulation and overall tone, and promote weight loss without dieting.

Widely known chlorogenic acid was in 2012, when in the American television show Dr. Oz it was advertised as "an additive capable of burning fat without exercise and diet". Since then, green coffee extract has been adopted as a dietary supplement for weight loss, and sellers of sports nutrition. Last, by the way, do not disdain to add fat burning tablets and traditional caffeine, which determines the high stimulating effect of supplements, and the potential success of individuals combining exercise, a low-carbohydrate calorie-restricted diet, and these supplements.

The mechanism of action of chlorogenic acid has not been fully studied. Most Western sources claim that it does not have a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, but is a substance that can balance blood sugar levels and help a person control appetite.

Recently published results of studies on the benefits of this substance in diabetes, heart and vascular disease and morbid obesity. However, all this applies specifically to chlorogenic acid, and not to coffee, which contains caffeine, not shown in cardiological diseases and diabetes.

Chlorogenic acid shows high antioxidant properties, at present, its effects on human aging, oncological diseases, and diseases associated with high cholesterol.

However, the published results of studies that unequivocally prove the loud "Green Coffee Cures Cancer" are not yet available.

Coffee of natural origin contains caffeine in any case, whatever its producers say. The stimulating alkaloid excites the nervous system, activates the brain activity, and reduces the negative effects of low-carbohydrate and low-calorie diets on the central nervous system. Caffeine is a diuretic, because many people who drink green coffee and enjoy "instant" weight reduction.
