Drink green coffee for weight loss

There are ongoing debates around the health benefits of drinking coffee and the controversy on green coffee beans. They gained popularity as a weight-loss supplement after being featured on "The Dr Oz Show".

Green coffee beans have high levels of chlorogenic acid which is thought to have several health benefits. This compound gets destroyed if the beans are roasted to form regular coffee beans. Green coffee doesn't taste like traditional black coffee flavour as its beans are not roasted.

These beans are a boon for those who want to lose weight naturally without any side effects. Green coffee not only helps in weight loss but also boosts metabolism due to the high level of antioxidants. Green coffee is also thought to be useful in lowering high blood pressure, obesity, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes but more evidence is required.

The beans extract is sold in the form of capsules and can be found online or in health stores. It is also readily available in the form of beans or powder.

Green coffee is slightly bitter in taste and can be flavoured by adding honey or cardamom.
