Green tea and its benefits
It is known that green tea leaves are not inferior to beans in the amount of proteins in their composition. Green tea contains 15-25% protein.
Japanese green tea is the richest in proteins. It is not for nothing that residents of Eastern countries suffer from cancer and heart disease less often, and maintain health and youth much longer than Europeans.
This is because they add green tea leaves to soups, salads, various vegetable dishes, and simply chew them in pressed or dried form.
Green tea is also used in the fight against excess weight. The green tea diet is an excellent choice for those who care about their appearance without compromising their health.
Green tea improves your well-being and mood, while reducing hunger. When you feel a little hungry, just drink a cup of healthy green tea without sugar, instead of eating unhealthy and high-calorie foods that we usually snack on.
Your appetite will disappear for a couple of hours. In addition, if you drink green tea half an hour before heavy lunches or dinners, you can easily avoid overeating.
In addition to reducing appetite, the green tea diet cleanses the body of harmful substances such as waste and toxins, activates metabolism, removes heavy metal salts and excess fluid from the body.
The green tea with milk diet will help increase the diuretic effect, which will also be useful for those who suffer from leg swelling. It is also important that green tea contains virtually no calories.
Green tea with milk is prepared in several ways. To prepare this drink, you can use either flavored green tea with additives, such as pieces of fruit, or regular green tea. In the first method, low-fat milk is brought to a boil and herbal raw materials are added to it. Infuse for 20 minutes.
The second way to prepare milk tea is to pour milk into a warm cup, then add the prepared tea leaves.
During the day, you need to drink one and a half liters of green tea with milk, usually drinking a mug of milk tea every two hours.
It can replace lunch or dinner. Additionally, to restore fluid loss, it is recommended to drink the same amount of water.
The diet is carried out for no more than two days in a row. The result of one day of such a diet will be a loss of 2-3 kilograms, taking into account your initial weight and metabolic characteristics.
Different types of green tea diets last from one to thirty days.
The buckwheat and green tea diet lasts four days. Buckwheat is steeped overnight in water without salt and consumed three times a day. Forty minutes after each intake of buckwheat, a glass of green tea without sugar is drunk.
The monthly green tea diet consists of drinking about one liter of green tea every day for a month.
During this time, the body is completely cleansed of toxins and 8-10 kilograms are lost. For this procedure, choose high-quality large-leaf tea.
Tea is consumed both hot and cold, depending on your preferences. During the diet, you can eat almost all foods except fatty, sweet and fried foods.
Also limit yourself in the consumption of flour, and the result will not take long to come. And keep in mind that tea should always be brewed with hot, but not boiling water. Do not forget to drain the first water.
After all, the taste and health benefits of green tea are revealed only when brewed repeatedly. And true tea masters and gourmets brew green tea at least seven times, each time the tea acquires new shades of taste and aroma.
