The beneficial properties of tea, whether black or green, have been known since ancient times. Of course, we are not talking about packaged and flavored products.
However, the beneficial properties of the ancient drink have given rise to various kinds of myths.
One of these myths was dispelled by the publication News.ru with reference to nutritionist Natalia Lazurenko.
Benefits of tea
Natalya Lazurenko named the presence of antioxidants, B vitamins, and a number of microelements among the beneficial properties of tea.
In addition, tea tones and helps remove toxins from the body.
Tea and weight loss
However, tea itself, despite all its positive properties, is useless for weight loss.
The drink only makes it easier to fight accumulated kilograms, but does not speed up weight loss.
It has a positive effect on overall metabolism and speeds up the process.
This is also important for weight loss, as tea affects the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.
But for weight loss purposes, you cannot drink tea together with other products.
It is drunk separately, without additives, desserts or snacks.
At the same time, you need to remember about physical activity and sports.
