The tea tox diet
In what seems to be an endless hunt for the perfect weightless formula, Hollywood has crowned its latest trend, teatox.
Whether it’s Hilary Duff, Vanessa Hudgens or Kylie Jenner, teatoxes are the words on everyone’s lips. So if they’re good enough for the queens of Instagram, then they might just be the key to that flat stomach you’ve always wanted.
The diet is simple, all you have to do is add the teas into your normal daily diet, unlike juice-only cleanses. Through eating normally you are getting all your required nutrients, something you miss out on with juice diets.
While you don’t have to follow a specific diet, while drinking the teas you’re likely to watch the amount you snack and have high fat foods. These teas works by helping the body remove unwanted toxins from your body via the lungs, kidneys, skin and bowels, leaving you feeling fresher and less bloated.
Each purifying fruity-flavoured tea guarantees to help burn fat, regulate blood sugar levels as well as helping the digestion of food. The ingredients in the teabags are 100% natural and preservative-free, and the 14-day and 30- day cleanses are designed to compliment a normal healthy diet.
The morning brew (depending on the brand normally) contains Chinese Oolong tea, maté leaves, ginger root, fennel seeds, lemongrass, dandelion leaf, ginseng root, Gotu Kola leaves and nettle leaves as well as a touch of caffeine to give you energy to be active throughout the day and burn off some calories.
The second tea is the bedtime cleanse (colon cleansing.) This tea contains senna leaves, peppermint leaves, fenugreek seeds, liquorice root, burdock root, hawthorn leaves, valerian root and psyllium seeds and will most likely induce a laxative effect to naturally cleanse and detoxify your body.
Using the teas combined will create a healthy digestive system as well as a positive approach to food, eating and weight-loss. So as well as getting you the body you have always wanted, teatoxes are a designed to create a happier, healthier you.
