The health benefits of black tea
Anti-cholesterol, fat burner, appetite suppressant… The black tea contains polyphenols, these molecules with antioxidant properties which could have many benefits for our health and our body.
All tea varieties are made from the same leaves of the Camellia Sinensis tea plant. During the process of oxidation of the leaves to give rise to black tea, catechins produce new kinds of flavonoids, called thearubigins and theaflavins. These would increase tenfold the fat-burning action of black tea.
Black tea, a slimming supplement
The black tea would be a valuable ally during a slimming diet. It would promote metabolism, in particular preventing lipids and carbohydrates from settling in the body. Thanks to its diuretic properties, black tea and a flat stomach could go hand in hand!
Drink between meals, it also has an appetite suppressant action and helps avoid snacking, which contributes to weight loss. Very low in calories and sodium, black tea can be consumed daily. To accentuate its effects, you can consume black tea with lemon for weight loss or flavor it with another citrus fruit. Lemon turns out to be rich in vitamin C and anti-inflammatory.
Obviously, all this is true only within the framework of a healthy and varied diet and regular physical activity. Black tea alone will not make you lose weight. Kusmi advises you to consult a doctor for more specific advice on weight loss.
At what time of day should you drink black tea to lose weight?
The black tea, fat reducer, can help us lose weight naturally, but remember that it may be more beneficial to consume it at certain times of the day.
