Tea to lose weight
The idea that tea is excellent for weight loss is now supported by various scientific studies. Here we explain how losing weight with tea works, and which types of tea are best to help you lose weight.
Why does tea help you lose weight?
The Camellia Sinensis tea plant has a wide range of ingredients which have health benefits. For example, scientists have found evidence that the catechins in green tea have a preventative effect against cancer and cardiovascular disease.Tea can also help you lose weight. There are several reasons for this:
No calories:
Unsweetened tea provides valuable nutrients and is also calorie-free. If you want to support your diet with exercise, you should make sure you drink plenty of fluids. Tea is an ideal drink to cover your daily fluid requirements.
Sugar withdrawal:
For many people, tea counteracts the dreaded craving for sweet-tasting foods. The reason: the bitter substances in tea, influence the taste receptors on the tongue, which are often used to sugary foods. As a result, less sweet foods taste better again, and sweet foods taste too sweet.
Increased fat burning:
Tea stimulates the metabolism and increases the basal metabolic rate. One study showed that catechins contained in green tea increased fat burning in men by 17 percent.
Less fat accumulation:
Tea inhibits the activity of certain enzymes that are responsible for the absorption and storage of fat.
Intestinal flora:
The catechins, alkaloids and flavanols contained in tea have a harmonizing effect on the intestinal flora and can therefore promote intestinal health.
Liver health:
The phytochemicals in tea can also have a positive effect on the liver. This organ is particularly important for the metabolism and plays an important role in weight loss.
