Tea is an ancient treasure that can be incorporated into your healthy diet plan. However, there are many Diet Tea formulas that have made their place in the 'weight loss market' which claim to enhance weight loss. They may also claim that their key ingredients work 'naturally' to assist the body in burning calories more efficiently by making fat and blood sugar available for body fuels. Bull caca. The following contains some facts about how the Herbal Diet Teas really work. Turn on your lights before you read because these facts are a bit scary!
Herbal Diet Teas - Stimulant Formula
One formula of Herbal Diet Tea contains stimulants (specifically guarana, kola nut, ma haung and ephedra) that act in the body to suppress the appetite and simultaneously burn fat at a faster rate due to an increase in metabolism. Side effects include nervousness, headaches and the inablity to sleep.
Herbal Diet Teas - Diuretic Formula
Another Herbal Diet Tea formula consists of diuretics (locust plant, senna, cascara) which aid in weight loss by emitting water from the body or act as a laxative. Dangers include a dependency on the teas due to a breakdown of the intestinal muscles. The teas that act as a diuretic might be more aptly labeled "Tea Tea" rather than simply 'Tea'. Side effects include: abdominal cramping, fainting, a fluctuation in body temperature, difficulty in breathing and death.
In Conclusion
To date, there are no studies to support weight loss in connection with Diet Teas. In addition, before modern medicine, herbs were used to treat many ailments. Herbs were indeed the 'Tylenol, Pepto and Vick's' in today's world. Soldiers were often given Valarian Root to treat combat fatigue. Over time, perscription medications have replaced 'the old ways' and many people don't realize the Potent Powers of herbs and that use in the diet of herbs should be exercised with great caution.
