If you want to reduce the effects of fatty foods that make you obese, you can try to consume green tea. In a study conducted by researchers at Penn State University found that compounds in the green tea can reduce body weight in mice.

The mice used for this experiment is obese mice. The researchers used two mice with high fat, and both were given the same amount of food. Then one of the mice given the intake of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCC), a compound found in green tea. Apparently, this effectively makes the body weight of the mice dropped to 45%, as compared to other mice.

And not only lose weight, the study also showed an increase in fecal lipid up to 30%. "It seems there are two benefits, first, EGCG helps the body to absorb fat, and second, improve the ability to utilize fat," says researcher Joshua Lambert.

Lambert also said that drinking one cup of green tea per day will get the intake of EGCG, but recent research indicates that green tea consumption had no effect on appetite, and can only slow down weight gain.
