With obesity rates surging across the country, many people are desperately searching for a quick and easy way to shed those excess pounds. Tea has long been touted as a wholesome beverage with numerous health benefits. And aside from fighting heart disease, cancer, and other diseases, a new study shows that drinking tea may also help to fight fat. Could the solution to weight loss be found at the bottom of your teacup?
What Kinds Of Weight Loss and Dieter's Tea Are Available?
Weight loss and dieter's teas can be divided into three distinct categories, green teas, those with a stimulant formula and those with diuretic properties.
Green Teas: According to a recent scientific study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition green tea may help to boost the metabolism and oxidize fat. Researchers say that green tea may contain special substances known as catechins that can trigger weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories thereby decreasing body fat.
Stimulant Teas: Stimulant weight loss teas supposedly help the body burn fat faster and suppress the appetite, though scientific studies have not yet proven these claims. These teas may include ingredients such as ephedra, ephedrine, ma huang, kola nut, and guarana.
Diuretic Teas: The other major type of weight loss and dieter's tea is the diuretic tea. These teas stimulate weight loss by acting as a laxative or diuretic to purge large amounts of fluid from the body. Some of the most common of these diuretic ingredients include are senna, locust plant, angustofolia, cassia angustofolia, cascara and buckthorn.
The Dangers of Weight Loss and Dieter's Tea
Tea in its many forms…black, green, and herbal, can be a very nutritious beverage. However, most products on the market that claim to be “weight loss and dieter's teas” contain ingredients that may be harmful to your health. Stimulant teas, with caffeine and other stimulants are likely to produce side effects such as nervousness, headaches and sleeplessness.
Diuretic teas can also be quite dangerous to one’s health. These teas are very likely to become habit-forming as they cause one’s intestinal muscle to lose the ability to function without them. In addition, by causing excess water loss, diuretic teas can also lower the body’s levels of important minerals, such as potassium. This can cause serious health problems. Side effects associated with diuretic teas include abdominal cramping, nausea, difficulty breathing, and fluctuations in body temperature.
Tea may be a delicious drink, but is it really the key to help you lose weight? Not likely. Most weight loss and dieter's teas come withdangerous side effects that could be harmful to your health.
