Adopting The Herbal Tea For Weight Loss And Its Benefits

By Betty West


Forget the latest diet recommendations and exercise fads you have been hearing about. Actually, it can be easier to cut the excess pounds without having to strain yourself. In fact, losing the excess calories can be as easy as just sitting back and taking a cup of tea every day, while relaxing. It sounds so easy, yes, true, it is actually that easy. The herbal tea for weight loss is not a myth, it has worked for very many people, and it can work for you, all you need is to give it a try.

In a nation with a strong affinity to caffeine related beverages, and hot teapot, in particular, we are looking a solution right on our nose. It is not difficult to get the Hollywood body that remains a fantasy for the majority of us, all it takes is to know what to drink and when.

There is a catch. It is not your humble cups of the Tetley's or even the PG Tips that has these amazing powers. In order to experience these amazing powers, you have to turn to the exotic leaves. Herbal teas are the brews that are made of any other plant other than the plants considered the traditional tea plants. The herbal teas are generally low in calorie.

The different herbs also work in different ways. The weight loss properties include dimming the hunger hormones, increasing the rate of calorie burn, and at times even melting the fats in the fat cells. Automatically, this translates to lower risk of heart attack, diabetes, and other obesity-related diseases. The herbal teas include a large variety of brews that are made from the plants that are not within the range of the traditional plants for the teas.

Other than the fact that these brews are low in calories, they are also said to minimize the poor dietary choices such as the sugary beverages and other high-calorie choices. When used as soup stock, they reduce the calorie content of the soups.

The other herbs commonly used to make the brew include cinnamon, the red raspberry leaf, the ginger root and the chamomile. The herbs help the consumer minimize the chances of choosing a poor diet. They may come with the additional properties such as the ability to suppress appetite, burning of fat cells, increase the rate of metabolism, and suppress the formation of new fat cells and lipids among others.

For instance, you can replace a 12-ounce can of soda with just 2 cups of the herbal tea. This means a 300 calorie reduction per day translating to a minimum of 1/2 pound loss of weight every week.

The nonherbal teas have also been found to be very effective in this regards. Catechin is a type of the green tea family that has been found to have compounds that trigger the release of the fats from the belly fat cells and increases the capacity of the liver to burn the fats into the energy. Oolong is the other effective option well known in the scientific and health fields for its ability to increase lipid metabolisms. The other solutions include the mint for its craving-crushing properties, white tea for blocking the formation of new fat cells and Rooibos tea to halt hunger.
