Detox With Green Tea: How to prepare one?

Posted on by admin

Green tea has earned a reputation as one of the healthiest beverages loaded with high antioxidants. Besides detoxification, green tea helps in weight loss. So you must be wondering how to detoxify daily with green tea. Early morning and evening serve as good times for drinking green tea.

1. Brewing with warm water

People brew green tea with boiling water. Leaving it for minutes is responsible for letting the tea lose its subtle taste and essence. But what we fail to understand is that following this process is responsible for letting green tea release its bitterness. So it’s recommended to enjoy it warm.

2. Don’t drink green tea right after meals

A cup of tea right after meals isn’t good enough for the reduction of fat and burning calories. Rather it is responsible for slowing down the body’s digestion process. So what’s suggested in this case is to maintain a gap of at least an hour or two.

3. Steeping green tea for a few minutes

Steeping the extract for too long won’t be productive and will make the bitter tea taste. Also, steeping too much is responsible for the release of harmful substances. Steep the tea for two and three minutes.

4. Enjoying the drinking process

Consume the tea at leisure. What you should never do is rush the drinking process, as that’s not going to serve the detoxification purpose.

5. Say no to green tea with medication

Drinking green tea with medicine or even just after consuming medicine isn’t recommended at all for the reason that it may increase severe acidity. Drink plain water to wash down medicines.

An additional tip to remember

People usually opt for detox diets as an effective way to fight fatigue. Also, they do so to lose weight and cleanse their bodies. Green tea detox will help with flushing out harmful toxins, and this is one of the options that is increasingly popular. The green tea regime is quite easy to follow if you wish to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. A few daily servings of tea enhance immune function, helping in fat reduction and boosting energy levels, promoting better health.

Green tea detox involving adding a daily cup of green tea will be flexible when you are looking for an option for reducing calorie intake. But again, do not forget to exercise and follow a diet rich in essential nutrients letting you enjoy the full benefits of the detox.

Also, you can change the duration of the detoxification according to your needs and follow the process for a few days to several weeks.   

Indulging in unhealthy foods that are responsible for clogging our digestive system isn’t a good idea. Detoxing, in that case, will boost the body’s natural way of getting rid of toxins, thus guaranteeing weight loss. A nutritiously focused diet alongside the consumption of healthy beverages like green tea will be highly fruitful for your health!

Final words

Lastly, we can say that green tea is full of goodness and serves as a healthy solution for both detoxing harmful elements and managing weight. Get a beverage that’s delicious and also holds a positive impact on your well-being by indulging in a green tea detox routine!

How to make the most of your green tea

Posted on by admin

1. No sugar of any kind, white or brown.

No sugar of any kind, white or brown

If aiming to lose weight, you must absolutely avoid sugar. Adding sweeteners of any kind cancel out the benefits and your cup will give you close to nothing.

2. Pick hot over iced.

Pick hot over iced

Although there might be no actual chemical difference when having green tea hot or iced, the ice, constantly melting, will dilute the tea further and water it down more than necessary.

3. Skip the tea bag, opt for leaves.

Skip the tea bag, opt for leaves

Pouring hot water over tea leaves extracts the essence of the green tea best and that is not the case with tea bags. When it comes to tea bags, the chemical reaction differs and the potency of the tea is reduced deriving no actual benefit from the green tea. For the best results from a tea bag, when out of options, cut open the tea
bag, pour the contents into a cup and then pour hot water over it. Let your tea steep for about 3 to 4 minutes.

4. Have three to five cups daily.

Have three to five cups daily

The right amount of green tea to have in a day is three to five cups. The fact that its super light and mostly water can make that pretty easy and a much nicer alternative to regular milk tea.

5. Don’t boil the water too long.

Don’t boil the water too long

When boiling water to make green tea, it is important not to boil the water too long. Bring it to the boil but then let it rest for about 10 minutes before pouring it over your tea.

6. Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach or during meal times.

Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach or during meal times

The best time to have your green tea is after meals. Consuming it on an empty stomach can cause stomach ulcers or dehydration and having it during meal times can reduce the absorption of nutrients. At night, it’s best to have it an hour before you sleep.

Follow these simple green tea hacks to see maximum result.

Monsoon Hacks To Staying Healthy

Posted on by admin

While the monsoons may bring some much needed respite from the unrelenting summer heat, it is also a time for bacteria and germs to thrive and spread a host of contagious diseases. With our immunity levels down, our bodies become highly susceptible to the flu and viral fevers. It isn’t enough to just avoid getting wet anymore; we have to pay special attention to our diet to avoid certain foods and increase the intake of others.

Avoid Green Leafy Vegetables

Avoid Green Leafy Vegetables

This may seem like odd advice given that we’ve always been told to eat more vegetables, not less, but the rainy season make vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower and spinach veritable Petri-dishes of germs. Therefore, it’s best that one takes special care to eat only fresh, thoroughly washed vegetables.
It’s also a good time to avoid raw salads and eat boiled vegetables instead. Boiling the veggies in water kills the germs and bacteria, thus making for a much healthier option during the monsoons.

Enjoy this monsoon with green tea soup.

Avoid Eating Out

Avoid Eating Out

Situated close to puddles of stagnant rainwater, these stalls are dangerously close to the breeding grounds of most water-borne disease causing germs. So resist the temptation to indulge in roadside pakodas this monsoon. If it’s too tall a task for you, stick to shallow frying your food with olive oil at home and enjoying the home made snacks with a cup of green tea in your balcony as the monsoons pour down over the city.

Keep Drinking Lots of Water

Keep Drinking Lots of Water

It is equally important to remain hydrated during the monsoons even though you may not feel exceptionally thirsty. Water intake helps with general blood circulation and in keeping your immunity at a healthy level. With a general drop in immunity on account of the monsoons and a general increase in germs in the atmosphere, it is doubly important that water intake remains at an acceptable level.

Avoid Oily and Spicy Food

Avoid Oily and Spicy Food

Spicy food is another thing you had best avoid during the rainy season. The heat from the food raises body temperature and results in high blood circulation. This is known to causes skin irritation and allergies, which is especially problematic considering that higher levels of oiliness result from the humidity in the atmosphere. Switch to lighter food option like oats and olive oil instead.

Avoid Fish

Avoid Fish

Monsoons are not only the season for germs and bacteria to thrive in, but also the time when the fish in the seas, oceans and rivers reproduce rapidly. The general increase in contamination makes fish a poor dietary choice during the monsoons. The water bodies experience a rise in bacterial levels and the fish that are drawn from the water are equally prone to spreading disease upon consumption. Flaxseed capsule on the other hand, contain all the nutrients that one derives from fish consumption. So Omega-3 is a healthier option during the monsoons.

Drinking Green Tea

Green tea is the perfect cure for all your monsoon woes. Being a natural anti-bacterial agent, it helps keep immunity levels up and helps combat bacterial contamination during the monsoons. Ginger tea is the perfect remedy for a sore throat and it also has beneficial effects on skin and blood pressure. Make sure to have a nice warm cup of green tea this rainy season!
