Summer brings with it teas that aid in weight loss, such as:
Lotus leaf tea, which is known for its heat-clearing and diuretic properties, can effectively break down fat thanks to lotus leaf alkaloids. It also promotes digestive system absorption and the elimination of toxins from the body, helping achieve weight loss.
Jasmine flower tea has detoxifying effects, boosting metabolism and accelerating the removal of toxins and waste products in the body, contributing to weight loss.
Green Tea, dark tea, Chrysanthemum tea, burdock seed tea, Oolong tea, rose tea, hawthorn tea, and others also have weight-loss benefits.
What is the best tea for weight loss in summer?
Lemon tea
Benefits: Lemon tea not only aids in weight loss but is also rich in vitamin C, which helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness. Drinking lemon water can quench thirst and reduce the desire to eat excessively, making it effective in controlling inappropriate eating habits. Combined with 15 minutes of exercise per day, the results can be quite noticeable.
Ingredients: Lemon, rock sugar, black tea, ice cubes
Instructions: Cut a lemon; for one serving, use a quarter of the lemon, cut into four small pieces. Squeeze the juice of the four lemon pieces into a cup, add a few rock sugar cubes and a bag of black tea. Pour in about half a cup of hot water to steep the tea and dissolve the sugar; stir if desired. Add pre-made ice cubes and serve.
Hawthorn and Lotus Leaf Weight-Loss Tea
Benefits: This tea helps with digestion, fat clearance, and the removal of excess waste products from the body, adjusting bodily functions. People who are overweight or have overburdened digestive systems can drink this tea to lower cholesterol and lose weight.
Ingredients: 15g dried hawthorn, 10g dried lotus leaf, 10g tangerine Peel, 700ml of water, honey to taste
Instructions: Soak the hawthorn, lotus leaf, and tangerine peel in water for 2 minutes, then rinse clean. In a pot, bring 700ml of water to a boil with the dried hawthorn, lotus leaf, and tangerine peel. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat. Let sit covered for 5 minutes. Strain the tea into a Teapot through a sieve. Once the tea cools to around 50°C, add an appropriate amount of honey according to taste, stir well, and serve.
During the summer when trying to lose weight, you can opt for green tea, Pu'er tea, or bitter buckwheat tea. Relying solely on tea for weight loss may not be entirely realistic. To successfully lose weight, you should reduce your caloric intake and increase physical activity while correcting unhealthy habits. In terms of diet, avoid fatty and sugary foods, do not overeat (aim for 70-80% full), and refrain from binge eating or picky eating. Chew food slowly. Engage in appropriate physical activities one hour after meals.
