Traditionally, different tribes have used herbs in hot water to detoxify the body. For instance, ginger, an ingredient you often find in detox tea, has been used for over 5,000 years for its healthy and medicinal properties. Detox tea is an amalgamation of all kinds of healthy ingredients to detoxify the body. We have figured out for you what to expect from detox tea. You can read about it in this blog.
What is detox tea & what does it do?
Detoxing with tea, also known as Teatoxing, is becoming increasingly popular. One form of detoxing is using Detox tea. This tea helps you eliminate waste products from your body due to its naturally detoxifying ingredients. Also, this way of detoxing can support you while losing weight.
Detox tea and losing weight
Detox tea can help you in your weight loss process, it is a supportive product and not a meal replacement. The natural ingredients in the tea can make you feel full, reducing your appetite in a day. As a result, you eat less and enter a calorie deficit. You burn more than you take in and this makes you lose weight. The tea has an effective hunger-relief effect when you drink enough of it.
A disadvantage of detoxing with tea is that it can have a laxative effect. It stimulates the intestinal wall, which aids digestion. But there can also be a laxative effect and an overfull feeling. That overfull feeling, in turn, can cause you to eat too little and therefore miss out on essential nutrients. You can read about the disadvantages of laxatives in our blog on colon detox.
Detoxifying the body with detox tea
Detox tea has several health benefits when you want to detoxify your body:
- It cleanses your body: In a detox cure, waste and toxins are drained from the body. The liver is cleansed as a result. These toxins affect our condition a lot on a daily basis. When you do a detox, you will find that your immune system is strengthened, thereby improving your mood and metabolism.
- More energy: With less of these toxins in your body, your body will keep more energy for other processes. You will experience more energy when you do a tea detox.
- Improved digestion: The tea supports digestion and your intestines get a temporary break from digesting solid food by not eating heavy solid meals.
