This is not new. We know how to drink or sip tea with Japanese food, but why can’t we?
Obesity has become a worldwide “epidemic”. Factors include not eating a balanced diet and lack of exercise, but the most serious thing we should consider is lack of sleep or this abnormal sleep pattern. When we are hungry, we eat our midnight snack.
And yet, we have to work. Many of us work night shifts, so our body has a higher tendency to eat in the middle of the night or during our idle hours. The night time till dawn is when the body should be replenished and toxins accumulated in it should be flushed out.
Also, since we sleep during the day, we do not get time for exercise, so there is a greater chance of developing this mild to severe obesity.
We primarily use carbohydrates, which are primarily glucose, from the food we eat. Left unused, it turns into fat. This fat gets stored in our cells, so we shouldn’t wonder why we can’t get rid of love handles.
This results in us searching online for slimming pills that we hope can solve this fat problem. While using these pills or laxatives, either we see only a temporary improvement or they are not effective at all. Some of us even try different types of diets, modified types, such as paleo, vegan, and other trending diets that we read about on the Internet.
There is a simple solution for this – drinking tea while eating food. You may call it a trick, but it is simply changing the way we eat. Green tea, which contains flavonoids apart from caffeine, is definitely beneficial for the body. It makes us think more clearly, more active during the day, wakes us up with minimal side effects unlike coffee.
Coffee contains more addictive substance – caffeine, as we know. A powerful ingredient, caffeine causes sleeplessness and tremors, nervousness and agitation in some people. Other coffee-lovers may develop withdrawal symptoms or tolerance, which is when they no longer feel the effects of coffee, such as keeping them awake. The effect of coffee here may be limited to black coffee only.
The effects of green tea include detoxification without harming the kidneys. Back to the main topic, green tea improves fat oxidation and metabolism. Drinking tea with food is more effective than drinking tea at night. When our body is digesting the food we have just eaten, then tea takes effect immediately.
The tea also improves insulin secretion, the hormone that regulates macronutrient metabolism. Therefore, if there is normal secretion of insulin into the bloodstream, glucose levels will be in balance, thereby preventing type II diabetes.
Drinking tea with meals can reduce the cost of spending on slimming supplements. We are also sure that by doing this we will get other health benefits as well.
