  1. Slimming Down With Tea: An Alternative to Weight Loss Pills One of the worst feelings in the world is being overweight, not only because it brings us a sense of shame and guilt that enters us into a vicious cycle of unhealthy habits like emotional and binge eating, but also because we end up feeling alienated, alone, and ugly as a result. This drives many of us to want to lose weight fast, but in our eagerness, we end up consuming items that are either unhealthy for us or we buy items that plain just don’t work because we are unaware of what our bodies need. In this article, we’re going to explore how you can lose weight fast without consuming weight loss pills, with the alternative option of rooibos tea, a South African herbal red tea that is caffeine-free and comes with a load of medicinal benefits for weight loss. What Is Rooibos Tea & What Does It Taste Like? Although named Rooibos tea or African red tea, interestingly enough it’s not a true tea. Rather, it comes from a shrub called the aspalathus linearis, which is a herb that has red needle-like, long leaves. These leaves are harvested and dried up into a reddish-brown herbal infusion after going through an oxidation process. Those who harvest the red leaves, do so by cutting them off the shrub and bruising the leaves to get the rich color and flavor that you see and taste when you steep the tea. It comes with a mild, sweet, and fruity taste that has subtle hints of honey and vanilla. It is incredibly aromatic and can be steeped just like regular black or green tea. A lot of individuals drink it plain, while others place lemon or sweetener in it to make it creamier or fruitier. Those who drink bulletproof coffee can use it as a caffeine-free substitute by placing butter in it. 9 Ways Red Tea Can Aid Fast Weight Loss

  2. 1.It Is Naturally Sweet: one of the main issues that people have with coffee and tea is that they are too bitter to drink plain and so they require you to add refined sugar and cream. This increases your intake of calories and can cause you to pack on the pounds if you’re not careful. Red tea is naturally sweet and so you don’t have to add in any artificial sweeteners or refined sugars. 2.It Is Very Low in Calories: one cup of red tea has anywhere from zero to two calories, depending on which brand you buy. If you are used to drinking black tea or coffee, making the switch to red tea is going to cut your calorie intake. This will help you lose weight fast as you will have less calories being stored in your fat cells. 3.It Has Plenty of Antioxidants: these antioxidants help rid the body of harmful free oxygen radicals that cause damage to our DNA strains. 4.It Reduces Oxidative Stress Levels: when our stress levels are high, we are far more likely to accumulate fat around our belly regions. Drinking red tea can help reduce this stress, aiding in weight loss. 5.It Is An Anti-Inflammatory: rooibos tea has two major antioxidants, aspalathin and nothofagin, which have anti-inflammatory properties. When consumed, they block the body from having a full blown inflammation response, which reduces the chance of developing inflammation-induced obesity. 6.It Can Help Regulate Blood Sugar: when your body is unable to produce enough insulin or is insulin resistant, it won’t be able to rid the circulating glucose (sugar) from your blood stream. Meaning, that you will have a constant spike in glucose levels which is what leads to diabetes. Aspalathin, an antioxidant found in red tea, increases glucose uptake and insulin secretion and, in turn, lowers blood glucose levels. 7.It Helps Regulate Blood Cholesterol: when you have too much LDL (bad) cholesterol, it causes plaque to form on your artery walls which is what leads to your arteries narrowing. If you get a blockage in one of your arteries, this puts you at risk for heart attacks. Drinking red tea lowers LDL cholesterol levels, improves metabolism, and can help improve HDL (good) cholesterol levels. 8.It Improves Sleep: the less oxidative stress and inflammation in your body, the easier it is to sleep as your brain and body cells are able to function better. When you are able to get enough high- quality rest, you are far more likely to lose weight fast and naturally. 9.It Can Help Prevent Metabolic Diseases: because red tea can lower bad cholesterol levels, improve good cholesterol levels, and lower your blood sugar levels, you end up having a greater chance at reducing your exposure to metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity. When consumed regularly, red tea can be used as a preventative measure to chronic metabolic issues that arise due to stress, poor sleep, bad eating habits, and inflammation. All in all, drinking red tea is a great way to help yourself slim down naturally and lose weight fast without having to take weight loss pills, work out for insane hours in the gym, or eat nothing but salad for your meals. To make yourself a cup of red tea, just had a teaspoon or two of the loose red tea burn to your cup (in a tea bell) and poor boiling water over top. Allow it to steep for 5-10 minutes before consuming! If you want cold tea, just place it in the fridge and allow it to cool.
