Herbal Teas For Weight Loss
Herbal teas have been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Chamomile tea, for instance, has been used by peoples as diverse as the Ancient Egyptians and modern day suburbanites. Of course modern folk tend to think of chamomile as merely a relaxant, a milder and safer Valium, while the Ancient Egyptians saw it as a cure for all ills, but the belief in the medicinal properties of herbal teas has remained constant.
Using herbal teas for weight loss is a more recent development, and an extremely exciting one at that. Several studies have been done into the effects of green tea, oolong tea, and certain other blends on weight loss, and the results are extremely positive.
The teas are thought to work by increasing the metabolic rate thereby causing you to burn more fat during any given activity - even sitting down watching the TV!
As stated, oolong and green teas have been chosen for weight loss up to now, but more recently a company named Roduve has designed a blend of tea specifically for weight loss. This blend is called Tava Tea Wellness Blend.
What Is Tava Tea?
Tava Tea is a triple-blend system of organic Steamed Sencha, Puerh, and Wuyi Cliff Oolong. These three teas provide a triple-whammy of metabolism-boosting power that have been shown to dramatically increase weight loss.
A recent study in Japan showed that just one of Tava Tea's ingredients, Wuyi Cliff Oolong, burns more than twice as many calories as green tea.
Not only does it have incredible fat-burning properties, but Tava Tea is also not short of the other health-giving properties that green tea has become famous for. The Tava Tea blend contains massive amounts of polyphenols and antioxidants which have been shown in multiple studies to help protect against a variety of diseases and degenerative disorders.
It can:
- Help lower blood cholesterol levels.
- Help to enhance circulation and boost blood flow.
- Help to inhibit the formation of cancer cells.
- Help to maximise digestive efficiency.
- Help reduce stress and lower blood pressure.
But these benefits are pretty much side-effects. Weight loss is what Tava Tea has been designed for, and weight loss is what it delivers.
Although Tava Tea is new to the market, several studies have already shown the effectiveness of its ingredients.
A study carried out at The Suntory Research Center in Osaka, Japan showed that drinking Wuy Cliff Oolong tea fifteen minutes before eating foods high in carbohydrates (think pizza!) reduced the insulin spike which eating carbs normally causes. This insulin spike is what causes the body to convert the carbohydrates into fat, and reducing it has profound implications for weight loss.
A seperate Japanese study showed that Wuyi Cliff Oolong Tea increased the calories burned by 10% when drank after a meal. Green tea performed well in this study also, increasing calories burned by 4%. Water had no impact whatsoever.
It's not the cheapest tea around, but then again we're not talking about the 'tea dust' you can find on the shelves of your local supermarket. Tava Tea contains premium 100% natural, organic ingredients, which unfortunately don't come cheap. But your health and fat loss goals are worth it, right?
