Is it true that it helps to lose weight? How can I know which one is true? Where can I buy?
Answers:
All tea in general is good for you -red, white, green, black and herbals. Each one has a different unique health quality so it's good not just to focus on one.
Right now green tea is getting the spotlight, since it was mentioned that it can boost your metabolism. First of all the boost is so tiny that you really don't even notice a difference. Much of the weight loss is due to tea being a diuretic as which all tea is.
The receive the most antioxidant power from tea is best to brew your own instead of picking up a ready made tea. There is no one brand that is better than another, as in no one color tea is better than another, so it's best to shop around until you
find a brand with a flavor that you really enjoy. I prefer to get an organic tea, but that is just my personal preference.
One tip in your tea brewing to get the most health qualities out of your tea - when getting your water ready for your tea only have it at a simmer do not let it boil. If it does boil let it cool down just a bit. The water at a boiling temperature can destroy some of the antioxidant properties. Water that had been boiled also makes the tea taste flatter.
Of coarse you can also make solar tea. Just add a few tea bags to some water and let it sit in the sun.
