Of course, no hot beverage in the world is a miracle cure. But there is a blend of teas that will give a boost to your efforts to lose weight.
When it’s wet and uncomfortable outside, nothing warms us inside as quickly as a cup of tea. The aromatic scent with its beneficial effect should not be missing in autumn and winter. The hot cup for a cozy break from the sofa not only keeps us warm and provides health-promoting nutrients, it can also help us lose weight. Green tea is the top performer among hot drinks.
Lose weight with green tea
Green tea is not only free of calories – it can also help promote fat burning and weight loss, according to a study published in the American College of Nutrition. According to the study, subjects who drank four cups of green tea every day for two months lost an average of three kilograms more weight than those who only consumed water.
Further analysis concluded that green tea lovers weigh less, have a narrower waist, and are healthier. The effect of green tea is probably mainly due to its high content of catechins (27 percent). Catechins are cell protectors that even outperform vitamins C and E. Tip: Choose fresh tea, because ready-made tea from the bottle is enriched with a lot of sugar.
Lemon – the secret ingredient in green tea
If you want to spice up your health drink a bit, you should grab a lemon from now on. The vitamin C contained in abundance in citrus fruit causes more norepinephrine to be released in the body. The hormone is there, among other things, to loosen fat from the cells. Lemons also stimulate the production of bile, which stimulates fat digestion. Digestive enzymes also get the stomach and intestines moving and can help against both constipation and diarrhea. The hot drink should prove to be particularly useful in the case of water retention, as the detoxifying detox effect starts at these points first.
