What is better for weight loss: green tea or water?
November 12, 2009I heard many time that green tea can help me loose weight. I have also heard that water can and is the best think you can drink. But can water make you gain more "water weight" than anything?
Sodium makes you gain water weight, not water. Water actually flushes away water weight. Drinking cold water can help you burn calories, because it takes calories to bring the water up to your body temp, but green tea has antioxidants that help flush away impurities in your body. I would use both.
Green tea

Green tea has antioxidants, and I’ve heard they are actually making a pill form of "green tea" that is going to be used as a weight loss formula. I wouldn’t only drink green tea, but try to drink some each day (just a cup is fine) for the antioxidants if nothing else. White tea has even more antioxidants and can help you in losing weight too.

although it has not been confirmed by the FDA, green tea seems to have various benefits over water alone.

Water will help you lose weight and is also great for the skin.
Green Tea isn’t as great as the hype makes it out to be … Do a few searches for Pu-erh Tea, though.

They are both important and should be used.
Green tea helps your metabolism and provides antioxidants.
Top 10 reasons to drink water are:
1. Get healthy skin. Drinking water moisturizes your skin from the inside out. Water is essential to maintaining elasticity, suppleness and helps prevent drying.
2.Lose weight. Increased water consumption can help you control weight by preventing you from confusing hunger with thirst. Water will also keep your body systems, including metabolism and digestion, working properly and give you the energy (and hydration) necessary for physical activity.
3. Flush toxins. By helping to flush toxins, appropriate water intake lessens the burden on your kidneys and liver.
4.Reduce your risk of a heart attack and/or heart disease. Researchers at Loma Linda University in California have studied more than 20,000 healthy men and women and found that people who drink more than five glasses of water a day were less likely to die from a heart attack or heart disease than those who drank fewer than two glasses of water a day.
5.Cushion and lube your joints and muscles. Drinking water before, during, and after exercise can help reduce muscle cramping and premature fatigue.
6.Stay regular. Helps prevent constipation by adding fluid to the colon and bulk to stools — easier to pass.
7.Stay hydrated, get energized, and be alert. Most adults lose about 10 cups of fluid a day through sweating, exhaling, urinating, and bowel movements. Even minor dehydration can cause impared concentration, headaches, irritability, and fatigue.
8.Keep your body temperature regulated. Perspration is your body’s natural mechanism to control body temperature. And to sweat, you need plenty of water.
9.Reduce your risk of disease and infection.Water can help prevent kidney stones and reduce your chances of getting bladder, kidney,and urinary tract infections.
10.Get well. The traditional prescription to "drink plenty of fluids" when you’re sick still holds. strong. Water can help control a fever, replace lost fluids, thin out mucus.

Yes, Puerh tea is better than the much-hyped green tea. It has more antioxidants than green tea plus has the probiotics your body wants, like yogurt. Puerh is going to not only lower cholesterol but block a lot of the bad fats you eat from getting into your body.
Green Tea is the best but drink both since water also plays an important role in losing weight……..
