Oprah Tea Advice - Green Tea Benefits Including Weight Loss

Over the past few months I've had many people visiting Everything Oprah searching for information on "Oprah's Green Tea Diet." I don't think that Oprah Winfrey was ever on an actual green tea diet but she has spoken a lot about her love of green tea.

There may not be an actual Oprah Green Tea Diet that you can follow but you can find out why Oprah Winfrey includes green tea in her diet.

Oprah's favorite doctor, Dr.Oz, has made many fantastic health and weight loss recommendations to Oprah and her viewers over the years and one of them is to add Green Tea to your daily diet.

There are many benefits to drinking green tea and Oprah herself is a fan of the drink, her show featuring anti-aging specialist Dr. Nicholas Perricone sparked huge interest in the weight loss benefits of green tea.

In modern times it is believed that the flavonoids found in green tea are beneficial antioxidants that help to prevent the spread of free radicals, reducing the risk of cancer.

You'll find both "green tea" and "white tea" on Dr. Oz's Anti-Aging Checklist. White tea has much of the same benefits of green tea because it's from the same plant but green and white teas are produced differently.

Dr. Oz recommends four cups of green or white tea daily for maximum health benefits. You may have heard of the "green tea diet" which has worked for many people. Dr. Oz doesn't claim that green tea alone will help an individual to lose weight, but he certainly believes that there are many great benefits that green tea (or white tea) drinkers experience.
