Green Tea for weight loss

Green Tea with Lemon and Mint

Looking for a drink to help jump start your weight loss journey? Something that can boost your metabolism and is good for you, but also tastes great? Green Tea is said to contain catechin which has been shown to activate certain detoxification enzymes. Just one cup of green tea will use up to 90% of the catechin in your body. That is one whopping healthy cup of green tea.

Benefits of Green Tea

Green tea in itself is such an important drink to add to your arsenal of healthy drinks. Since you are mixing your green tea with water, you are hydrating your body as you drink it plus getting the rich amount of flavanoids which include the catechin, antioxidants, and vitamins.

Lemons improve digestion, cleanse your system, and act as a diuretic. Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials in your body so adding it into your tea adds another health benefit to this drink recipe. Lemons balance your PH levels and help promote weight loss with their high-pectin fiber. Studies have shown an Alkalized body helps you lose weight faster.

Mint contains vitamins and minerals, smells fresh, and is full of antioxidants. According to research, mint leaves have anti-inflammatory properties as well. Another great way to enjoy the benefits of mint leaves is to add them into an ice cube tray and make mint ice cubes. This would be a treat to your guest’s if you are having cocktails or mocktails.

        • You can steep the tea in about 4-8 ounces. Just make one batch with all the ingredients and drink throughout the day. So making it in a pitcher type container and pouring into another glass works great.
