US scientists for 16 years full of people watching, and found that most of those involved in sports (even if weight and falling), hormones, cholesterol and the mood is much better than in lean people. Therefore, scientists do not advise such people to go on a diet, because it can damage the state of health and even cause depression.

Scientists at Imperial College London found that this fat is present in 20 percent of people with a normal body mass index. "This indicator is the risk of serious diseases such as diabetes and even cancer," - explains Professor Jimmy Bell, head of research. And it encourages not just to limit the power, but also in sports, to rid yourself of these problems.

But anyway green tea really helps, because the nutrients from it do not give a form of cholesterol in the blood vessels, - says nutritionist Ludmila Denisenko. - It contains poly phenols and antioxidants that help support the immune system, especially if you drink it with lemon. But do not forget that the majority of diets associated with green tea, it is recommended to drink at least four times a day. Fans of tea buckets can get extra problems - anxiety, headache, insomnia, irregular heartbeat. Still, the presence of caffeine in green tea has not been canceled.
