Discover Amazing Slimming Teas!

The most famous of today’s slimming teas is still green tea. But there are many others, such as ginger – which has already been mentioned here on the blog – hibiscus, espinheira santa and oliveira.

There is no magic recipe for losing weight (at least for now). Therefore, the “secret” to achieving good results remains the same. A balanced diet combined with physical activity.

But, there are foods that can help with weight loss. And, thanks to its properties and a very rich universe in this aspect, one of the main foods is teas.

Find out what each of them can do for you and how you can lose weight while drinking tea.

Green tea

After its slimming properties were spread, this tea became a real “fever”. Thus, it started to compose the menu of several diets.

Green tea actually works actively on weight loss because it speeds up the metabolism, increasing the loss of calories. Still in terms of static, green tea is also oxidizing and helps to prevent aging.

A variation of the same active substances as green tea, white tea also helps with weight loss. In addition, it has the advantage of having more nutrients than green because it is made up of younger leaves of the same herb.

White tea is also less bitter. However, it is more difficult to be found (due to harvest time) and, therefore, it is more expensive.

Hibiscus tea

Unlike bitter green and white teas, hibiscus tea has a very pleasant taste. In addition, it also helps with weight loss diets.

It reduces the body’s absorption of carbohydrates, regulates bowel function and acts as a diuretic, reducing episodes of fluid retention.

Unlike many slimming teas, hibiscus is not a stimulant. Thus, it is ideal for anyone who is very sensitive to this type of substance.

thorn tea

Espinheira santa helps regulate gastrointestinal functions and has a mild diuretic and laxative effect. Thanks to these properties, espinheira santa tea helps to eliminate toxins from the body, improving the action of your metabolism. For those who suffer from stomach problems, this tea is an excellent remedy.

olive tea

Olive tea aids digestion, bowel regulation and is also a diuretic. Although research is still inconclusive, it is believed that olive tea is able to promote the burning of abdominal fat.

In any case, the well-known properties of the olive leaf help to eliminate toxins and regulate gastrointestinal functions, which already greatly aids the effectiveness of the diet.

NOTE: In all the cases mentioned, we cannot forget that excessive intake of active substances in these slimming teas can cause side effects such as insomnia, nausea, diarrhea and other even more serious ones.

As we mentioned here on another occasion, even though they are natural substances, it is necessary to consume teas in moderation to obtain effective and healthy results. The ideal is that the consumption of each one does not exceed three cups daily, but, in case of doubt, consult a specialist.
