As you can see on our Green Tea weight loss study page, consuming green tea has been proven to be a very effective way to suppress your appetite and lose unwanted pounds. The powerful antioxidants in green tea, also known as EGCG catechins.

The high level of EGCG catechins in green tea increases your metabolism, which increases your energy level and fat burning ability. The EGCG catechins also help block fat absorption by your body. In fact, the Chinese have been using green tea for over 3,000 years to maintain and lose weight.

These EGCG antioxidants also boost your immune system, which helps protect you from diseases, as well as improving your skin and slowing the aging process.

While consuming 4 cups of green tea a day is helpful, consuming a green tea weight loss supplement that has a high level of green tea extract has been proven to be the most effective route for losing weight and suppressing your appetite.

Water load of rubbish! The widely-held belief that drinking eight glasses of water can make your skin glow is just theory, the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) has said.

Experts say that a balanced diet and lots of sunscreen are far more important in keeping wrinkles at bay. The finding will come as a relief to those who have found the drinking regime something of an ordeal.

The study

The British Nutrition Foundation, which investigated this theory, reported, "There currently appears to be very little scientific evidence relating to the effects of water consumption on skin hydration, and whether drinking more or less water actually has any impact on skin appearance."

Researcher Heather Yuregir said, "Drinking water for the sake of drinking water really has no effect on improving the appearance of skin." But diet and sun exposure really do affect complexion, she said.

What you should do

Vitamins A, B, C and E, contained in a range of fruit and vegetables, help keep the skin elastic, protect it from age-related damage and help with the growth of new skin. Not eating enough of them can cause problems such as scurvy and dry, scaly skin. It is also clear that overexposure to the sun ages the skin, causing mottling, a leathery texture and deep wrinkles.

The BNF review follows research published last year which concluded that drinking water does not help slimmers lose weight. The weight and waist size of more than 1,000 young women was compared with the amount of water they consumed each day - both from drinks and food.

The Japanese study found no link between water in drinks, including water itself, tea, coffee, soft drinks and fruit juices, and body shape. But foods rich in water, such as fruit, vegetables, soups and casseroles, appeared to help in the battle of the bulge. This may be because water-rich foods are also high in fibre, making people feel full faster and stopping them from over-eating.

Olive Oil does not make your hair grow. However, oil treatments (including olive, coconut, neem, peanut, and others) do help keep hair in tip-top condition. It will appear that your hair is growing faster simply because regular oil treatments will prevent breakage in your hair. So, will it grow faster? No. But because it prevents breakage your hair will be longer than it would without it. Maternal vitamins do help with hair growth (be aware that vitamins in a powder form i.e. not a hard capsule but rather a powder inside a gelatin type capsule allows for more absorption of the nutrients in the vitamin).
