As always, beware of anyone promising miracles. To lose weight, it is necessary to consult a specialist who proposes the appropriate combination of diet and physical activity. However, this does not mean that tea cannot be an excellent ally in the body transformation process. Let’s see why.
Tea as an Ally for Weight Loss
Tea fights water retention
In most cases, water retention is not caused by diseases but by an incorrect lifestyle. The only way to eliminate it is to combine regular physical activity with a healthy diet and appropriate diuretics. In this case, nothing is more natural and effective than green tea. It has a great ability to promote diuresis, expelling excess fluids and replenishing the body with beneficial substances.
So, try pairing regular exercise with some excellent cups of green tea: you will soon feel less bloated, more toned, and full of both physical and mental energy.
Tea stimulates metabolism and burns fat
Metabolism works like a machine: it breaks down the nutrients ingested to produce the energy we need to live and perform various activities. Green tea, in particular, thanks to the antioxidant action of epicatechin gallate, can accelerate this process and increase calorie consumption. At this point, the body is forced to attack fat and erode adipose deposits. Here too, the combination with physical activity and a balanced diet will bring you the best results.
Tea helps avoid temptation
Having a cup of tea is a great way to relax and feel satisfied with virtually no calorie intake. Enjoy your infusion calmly: cravings for sweets will have plenty of time to fade. Moreover, substances present in tea help reduce starch absorption (found in bread, pasta, rice, potatoes) and control satiety hormones.
