During the colder months having a selection of warming foods and drinks to lose weight, makes choosing something healthy really easy.
Regarded for thousands of years in the East as a key to good health, happiness, and wisdom, tea has caught the attention in the West, who are discovering the many health benefits of different types of teas.
Lemon and warm water
Packed with antioxidants and so many other health benefits like, detoxifying the liver, supporting the immune system, aiding with digestion, repairing skin, balances pH levels, to name just a few. A glass of water with the juice of half a lemon revitalises the body and mind. Lemons contain pectin, a soluble fibre commonly found in citrus fruits. Pectin helps stave off hunger as the fibre creates a feeling of fullness, which results in the suppression of hunger cravings. By feeling fuller for longer, you’re less likely to snack or make poor food choices.

We store fat as fuel for our body. Your metabolism, consuming fat at a faster rate, causes you to lose fat weight. As green tea contains caffeine, it is best to keep green tea to one cup per day for nursing mothers

White tea contains ECGC, an antioxidant that prevents new fat cells from forming and fights signs of aging, like wrinkles.
