The Truth About Metabolism Boosters
Not many foods or drinks have as many bragging rights as green tea. Preventing certain types of cancer, lowering cholesterol and staving off liver disease are just a few of green tea’s potential benefits. But green tea may also help with weight loss. So, if you’re looking to speed up your metabolism, consider adding a cup of green tea to your daily diet. Green tea may affect certain medications, such as the blood thinner Coumadin. Always check with your pharmacist and doctor to see if green tea can interfere with any of your current medications.
