As with all weight loss regimen, this one has to be evaluated by each person based upon his or her own goals. However, since it has been around for so long, is natural in all respects and is so easy to use (especially in supplement form) it appears to be worth a try in the battle of the bulge.

In addition to its weight loss potential, you will benefit by adding green tea to your diet because of its other healthful properties. Specifically, green tea is high in an anti-oxidant known as "epigallocatechin gallate," (called EGCG for short) which clinical tests show not only inhibits the growth of new cancer cells, but kills some existing cancer cells, all without harming normal cells. EGCG reportedly also prevents the formation of blood clots which have been known to cause thrombosis, one of the leading causes of heart attacks and stroke.

How much green tea is right for you? Well, it depends on who you're talking to. While some say ten cups a day is best, others say two or three will do just fine. But rather than carrying your teapot to and fro and guessing about how much to drink, you may want to consider one of the many supplements on the market today. One of the more popular supplements is that produced and marketed under the name Avatrim with Green Tea, but there are plenty of others as well that you may want to take a look at. (Be sure to check that the supplement you are considering is Ephedrine free. Some companies spike their green tea products with dangerous amounts of Ephedrine to increase the body's metabolism. Research has shown that any amount of Ephedrine can be dangerous. For your information, Avatrim is Ephedrine free.)

More on the Health Benefits Of Green Tea

So, why does green tea prove to be an effective weight loss supplement? Simply stated, green tea stimulates the body's metabolism, thereby increasing its burning of calories and fat.

Finally she appeared with two little paper tubs, the kind some restaurants use for ketchup, filled to overflowing with shaving foam.

"Find what?" I asked.

So the moral of this story is: don't do drugs. Once your brain is fried, it's game over for those functions that are damaged. This man will spend the rest of his life in hospital.

"No."

By this time, he was getting impatient (joke: he was an impatient patient).

Hmmm. It seems that he could see the right side and centre of his face, but he could not see the left side, even though he was facing the mirror. I took the razor from his hand, turned him, then shaved the left side myself.

I work with patients at a local hospital. These people have had some sort of trauma, such as a heart attack or accident that caused them to be taken to hospital.

I told him to take off his T-shirt and put a towel around his shoulders so that he wouldn't splash water and foam on his shirt. Then I positioned him in front of the sink and mirror and told him to splash some warm water on his face to soften up his beard. He did that fine, but after five minutes of patting his face with water, the nursing assistant still had not appeared.

We walked into his room, approached the bed, and I saw the telephone on the side table next to the bed. I picked up the phone, dialed his sister's number, and when she answered, asked her to call me later on my mobile phone, but right now her brother wanted to talk to her.

Later in the day, we went for a walk down the hallway, and when we got back to the room, he decided he wanted to call his sister. He pulled a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and tried to open it, but he could not find the open edge. I asked him what it was, and he told me it was his sister's phone numbers. I said, "Give it to me, and I will open it and get the numbers."

Recently I was helping a man, about 55 years old, who had some strange problems. He said he had been in hospital for a couple of weeks, but wasn't sure why. His telephone rang. He walked over to the bed. The telephone was next to his pillow on the bed. He picked up his pillow with his left hand, held it to his ear, and said, "Hello?"

"You'll have to show me how to do that, I don't know how."

He could function in some cases perfectly normally... he could walk and talk, dress himself, feed himself, and go to the bathroom without help. However, both his memory and his spatial ability were damaged, and he could not handle some tasks like opening the folded paper. This is a form of dementia. It is not curable. Once the brain is damaged, it is basically a vegetable, there is no way to fix it.

He then proceeded to shave the right side of his face and under his chin, using correct strokes with and against the grain. Clearly, he knew how to shave, and his previous remark that he did not know how was untrue.

About the Author:

He chatted for a while, and hung up.

I looked into the hall, and there was a young nursing assistant walking by. I asked her if she could find a razor and some shaving foam for the patient. She said she could, so I went back into the room to get my patient ready.

Then he yelled: "I CAN'T FIND IT!"

"MY FACE! I CAN"T FIND MY FACE!"

He quickly covered his wet beard with the foam, then picked up the disposable razor she had left.

"Electric," he said.

I took his elbow, and said, "Let's go into your room, I think the telephone is near the bed."

"OK, well, I will ask the nurse if she can get you a disposable razor and some shaving foam so you can shave."

As he brought it close to his face, he twisted it in his fingers so the metal part was away from his face and the plastic part was against his skin. I stopped him, told him the razor was reversed, and fixed it for him. He brought it up to his face again, and once again, he flipped it. He did this five times. Finally, I held his hand tightly as he brought the razor to his face and then guided him with the first few strokes.

"Do you normally use an electric razor or straight razor with shaving foam?" I asked.

Later in the day, he was sitting in his chair, feeling his face. He hadn't shaved for several days and had a scruffy appearance. He said, "I need a shave."

I thought he was joking. He wasn't. The telephone rang again. "Hello? HELLO?" His voice was rising, and that was when I realised he wasn't joking. I walked over, picked up the telephone handset, took away his pillow, and put the handset in his hand. He then talked normally to the person who had called, which turned out to be his sister.

When I opened the drawer of his side table, I discovered a can of shaving foam and a straight razor, so clearly he had lied, probably unknowingly, about shaving with an electric razor.

Later, his sister called and gave me some background. It seems that he had been found unconscious on a city street four months ago. He was alive but not in good shape. The paramedics took him to a nearby hospital, where they stabilized him, then did a CT scan. They found that a large part of his brain showed up as a grey cloud, it was not looking the way a brain normally looks. It appears that he had destroyed part of his brain with drugs, probably cocaine, crystal meth, whatever.
