The offer of teas for weight loss is very generous. The formulas are set by specialists, so it's not too important to know what each one contains. However, when you see "identical natural flavors" or "citric acid addition" written on it, it seems like something is wrong with you. Wouldn't it be better to make your own tea?

I spied for you and found out some formulas. Moreover, we have gathered information about plants that can be helpful in weight loss.

Ways to make tea

There are two basic ways: infusion and decoction.

The infusion is the most used way to make tea. For a cup of tea, pour 250 ml of hot water, at 100 - 80 ° C, over a quantity of dried plant, usually a teaspoon (if not already dosed in sachets). Leave the dish covered for 15 to 20 minutes, and then strain it.

A decoction is a tea made by boiling. Boil the woody parts of the plants: the roots and stems. In our case, crust bark. It should boil for up to 30 minutes.

Methods of administration

In order to achieve their goals, teas are drunk at certain times of the day, depending on the specific action of each.

Purifying teas are taken on an empty stomach, so before meals.

Laxative teas are drunk after meals. Preferably in the evening, because their effect is not instantaneous but requires 6-8 hours of processing. In this way, they act during the night and the effect will occur in the morning, on waking, leaving the intestinal tract light and relaxed.

Diuretic teas are NOT drunk in the evening, because they act quite quickly and will not let us sleep peacefully.

Teas with a tonic, revitalizing, energizing effect - especially ginseng - are NOT drunk in the evening, because they will cause us agitation and insomnia.

The teas with a calming, sedative effect will be drunk in the evening, because, drunk in the morning, they will demobilize us for a good part of the day.

The recommended amounts vary between one and three cups a day. If the tea is drunk before meals or after each meal, there will be three cups. If it is a soothing tea that is drunk before bed, it will be just a cup. It is good to start any cure with a cup, to observe the effect, and to catch a possible intolerance.

The duration of the cure can vary between three weeks and three months, with breaks of one week, up to one month. We adapt according to the effect that tea has on our bodies.

Crusin is particularly active, which is why the recommended strap life is minimal. We could even combine two types of tea in the cure so that we drink buckwheat tea only twice a week.

In weight loss, the teas are drunk unsweetened. They are not sweetened with honey, because it is also called sweetening. Do not sweeten with aspartame - E 951 because it is very harmful.

The tea is drunk warm, at about body temperature. Do not drink hot because it attacks the digestive tract, from the mouth to the stomach.

Not cold, from the fridge, for the same reason. However, tea should be drunk shortly after brewing, before losing certain volatile components. Slimming teas are not recommended during pregnancy and lactation!
