The most effective in losing weight were ginger tea, milk oolong, all varieties of green. And also white tea, on which we will dwell in more detail.
White tea is a variation of green tea, set aside for its own collection and processing. In early spring, work is in full swing on the plantations: the delicate hands of farmers collect young buds of green tea, which have barely hatched. Very delicate, like flower buds covered with white fluff. Their processing takes place in 2 stages: first, they are doused with steam, then dried at a certain temperature.
In the Celestial Empire, white tea was nicknamed "the elixir of immortality and eternal youth." It is believed that until a ripe old age, this variety stimulates the brain, clarifies the mind. Scientists in it have discovered enzymes that strengthen blood vessels and slow down the aging of the skin. Another property of a healthy drink is the ability to weaken the effect of harmful ultraviolet radiation. And since ancient times, Chinese women have been using the white variety to maintain the slimness and elasticity of the skin.
In order for white tea for weight loss to show all its properties to the fullest, it must be brewed correctly. Take a clay teapot and spring or bottled water. Scald the inside of the vessel with boiling water, then splash in a little boiling water so that the liquid covers the bottom. Cover tightly and wait a couple of minutes. Drain the water and quickly throw 1-2 tablespoons of tea leaves into the kettle.
Fill the vessel to the top with water - not boiling water, but hot water (75-80 degrees), higher is impossible, since the white variety in this case emits an increased concentration of essential oils. The same beverage infusion can be used up to three times.
They drink this tea warm or cold, without sugar or honey. The scheme for losing weight is as follows: in the morning on an empty stomach - breakfast in half an hour. Then one cup instead of a snack, the next one half an hour before lunch. Again, white tea instead of afternoon tea. And another cup of drink shortly before dinner. Try to make your meals as balanced and low in fat as possible.
Lean on legumes, citrus fruits, vegetables, boiled meat, shrimp, fish, greens, seaweed, whole grain bread. Judging by the reviews, the white variety of medicinal tea helps to withstand diets, and subject to the principles of a healthy diet, it significantly accelerates weight loss.
