Tea has been discovered thousands of years ago and is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Maybe it is because people like the taste. Or maybe it is also because more and more people have discovered that tea, especially green tea, can actually help lose weight.
Science proves that green tea helps weight loss:
Green tea contains polyphenols which are found naturally in tea. A type of polyphenols that has been associated with weight loss is called, epigallocatechin gallete or EGCG.
Ways green tea helps weight loss:
• Reduces BMI
• Increases metabolic rate
• Stimulate burning of body fat
• Decreases body weight
• Reduce digestion of dietary fat
Recent studies:
There have been several recent studies that can prove that green tea helps weight loss.
1.70 overweight men and women were given green tea capsules, to be taken twice a day. After three months, it was found that their body weights had decreased by 4.6%!
2.Similarly, in another study, people who were given green tea had lost 11.2- 14.7 pounds after only three months.
3.For 12 weeks, green tea was given to a group of overweight adults, while another group was given a drink without the substance that has been proven to decrease weight. The results were that people who drank green tea had lost more abdominal fat than those who didn’t, when both groups had maintained their calorie intake and exercised regularly.
These are just a few examples to show that green tea really does help reduce weight!
A tea I recommend for weight loss is called Slique Tea, from Young Living. This tea contains polyphenols, which helps reduce weight. Ingredients include Ecuadorian ocotea leaves, Ecuadorian cacao, jade oolong tea leaves and Arabian Omani frankincense powder.
Drink this during meals, or anytime you have a desire for something sweet but sugar free. You can even add a few drops of your favorite Young Living essential oil.
Enjoy!

I am a real fan of Young Living products and have been for many years. I’ve used their products before and they are wonderful. A friend introduced my to their essential oils many years ago. I’m very surprised and happy to see that they now offer a tea for weight loss. That’s terrific.
