Overweight and obesity contribute to several health issues. While exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet are important, taking three easily available supplements will help “burn fat”, says a neuroscientist.
Dr. Robert Love, who has dedicated his life to helping people with Alzheimer’s, claims that being overweight negatively impacts your brain health. So, if you’re struggling to lose weight, you should perhaps consider the options he suggests.
3 supplements to burn fat and improve brain health
In one of his TikTok videos, he claims that 7 out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese. Healthy weight loss is not only important to protect your health, it reduces the risks of diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
Here are the 3 supplements that help “burn fat”, according to Dr. Robert.
Green tea
Dr. Robert Love says drinking green tea is one of the healthiest ways to burn fat and lose weight. His claim is backed by scientific research which establishes that green tea as a beverage can improve mental alertness, relieve digestive symptoms, and headaches, and promote weight loss.
Green tea is believed to increase metabolism, which helps burn calories. However, you aren’t going to lose weight miraculously by drinking green tea and overlooking other facts such as watching your diet, adequate exercise, a good night’s sleep, and more.
Matcha
Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea powder prepared by stone-grinding shade-grown green tea leaves into a fine powder. Dr. Robert says this is more effective than regular green tea beverages for weight loss.
He describes Matcha as “green tea on steroids”, which is ten times richer in antioxidants and great for your brain health.
Green tea supplements
For those who aren’t a fan of green tea beverages or matcha, the neuroscientist suggests green tea supplements with similar benefits.
The said supplement is green tea extract in its concentrated form and each capsule is believed to contain the same amount of active ingredients as an average cup of green tea, notes Healthline.
Its properties such as catechins and caffeine are shown to promote weight, but excessive intake can have adverse effects. Therefore, always check with your doctor if you plan to take the recommended green tea supplement.
Dr. Robert Love is a neuroscientist, researcher, and educator, who specializes in helping people prevent Alzheimer’s disease with science. His LinkedIn bio claims he’s the ”most watched neuroscientist on the planet,” with over 2.1 million followers on TikTok.
His work has been featured on television networks and magazines, while he leads a research team investigating a new FDA drug to help reverse Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
