They speed up the metabolism and have several benefits.
Have you heard of thermogenic teas? They are rich in substances that increase the body’s thermogenesis, that is, they produce heat, accelerating metabolism, which helps burn body fat.
“Thermogenic teas generally not only have this property and, depending on the ingredients used, we have the combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions, adjuvant in detoxification and liver stimulation, decrease in the desire to eat sweets, taste regulation, increase in focus , among others. They are also interesting before training, as they can bring a greater boost to the practice of physical activity “, says the nutritionist. Gisele Haiek.
While being an ally in the slimming process, alone they will not bring satisfactory results, as it is important that they are placed in a food and lifestyle context that favors this goal of healthy weight loss.
“Straight up!”
But you must be aware of the amount of consumption, as thermogenic teas have a high amount of caffeine which can cause rapid heartbeat, insomnia, people with gastritis and esophageal reflux should not consume. “Let’s not forget that even pregnant women, with hyperthyroidism and hypertensive patients should not consume these herbal teas,” says Viviane Gomes, nutritionist at the Castro Institute.
