Natural Teas For Weight Loss
Studies have proven that certain teas can prevent dental decay, arthritis, and strokes. So it is no surprise that they can also play a role in supporting weight loss. Certain teas can speed up your digestion, reduce your bad cholestorol levels and speed up your metabolism. If you’re trying to shed a few unwanted pounds, start incorporating some of these teas into your diet to help you lose weight naturally:
Green tea

Green tea also contains carotenoids, tocopherols, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), minerals like chromium, manganese, selenium or zinc, and certain phytochemical compounds which are also very importnat and useful for our body.
Some studies also suggest that green tea has the ability of reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, dental cavities, kidney stones, and cancer, while it also improves bone density and cognitive function.
Lemon tea
Lemon tea is very easy to make as all you have to do is to add lemon juice or peel to hot water. It helps hydrate and boost immunity of the body. Lemon contains ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) which makes the absorption of cachetins into the blood stream three times faster. As mentioned above cachetins are present in green tea, so it is always adviseable to throw in a green tea bag with your lemon tea and let the cachetins take care of fat in your body.
