Abstract
Green tea has been consumed throughout the ages in India, China, Japan and Thailand. In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine practitioners used green tea as a stimulant, diuretic (to promote the excretion of urine) astringent (to control bleeding and help heal wounds), and to control heart problems. Other traditional uses of green tea include treating flatulence (gas). Regulating body temperature, weight, blood sugar, promoting digestion, and improving mental processes. A study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of green tea on obesity among women with age group of 30-50 year in selected village, Villupuram district, 2011-2012. The objectives of the study was to evaluate the outcome of green tea on obese women in experimental and control group. The study was conducted by adopting a quasi experimental research design. 60 women who have fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected by using Non probability purposive sampling technique. The research hypothesis formulated stated that there will be a significant outcome of green tea on level of weight among obese women with age group of 30-50 years. The conceptual framework adopted was modified on Weidenbach’s Helping Art Theory. In experimental group, the investigator assesses height, weight and waist circumference by using standardized scale (BMI scale). Followed by the investigator prepared tea with 5gm of green tea extract and mixed in 150 ml boiled water and added 10ml of honey administered orally to the obese women and following of normal diet in the experimental group. Control group samples were taken normal diet. After 30 days posttest level of obesity was measured by the investigator to the experimental and control group. Analysis revealed that the level weight in the experimental group showed a significant decrease in the level of weight at p <0.001 when compared with the control group. Providing green tea for the women enhances the decreases of level of weight. Therefore, green tea can be used as a safe and effective diet, which helps in reducing the level of weight.
