Every girl always wants to lookattractive. There are many cosmetics, various physical exercises, clothes for this. But besides everything, there is probably no lady who has never addressed the issue of proper or moderate nutrition. For example, a green tea diet will help get rid of not only extra pounds, but also cleanse the body of various slags and toxins, normalize the metabolic process. Green tea leaves are saturated with biologically active enzymes, contain a number of natural antioxidants and vitamins. The enzymes contained in this drink partially stop the action of amylase, which is responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates. Therefore, you involuntarily go on a low-carbohydrate "fasting". Antioxidants present in tea prevent the process of premature aging, that is, they help to prolong youth, improving the condition of the skin. In addition to all the listed advantages, the vitamins included in the drink do not allow vitamin deficiency to appear, which quite often accompanies a diet or fasting. In order to get the most benefit, you need to learn how to store green tea correctly and then brew it. Immediately after purchasing, pour it from the pack into a glass container with a lid that will close tightly. This is very important, because tea leaves quickly absorb foreign odors. And, of course, improper storage will lead to the loss of all useful properties.
How to brew green tea properly
- The most important thing you should always remember about isthis is that the tea must be brewed hot, but by no means boiling water. The temperature should be about seventy-eighty degrees. It is better, of course, to use filtered or stagnant water, which will only increase the taste of the drink.
- The second, no less important point: buy a good tea, not really thinking about its value, because everything is only for your benefit. For two hundred milliliters of water, add a half or two teaspoons of tea. Using a smaller amount, you just do not get the right concentration and, accordingly, do not feel the true taste.
- And the last, important aspect in this case is devoted toThe fact that the first water in which leaves are brewed, it is necessary to drain. They drink this drink, infused on the second water. The second time the tea opens like a bud, giving away all the useful properties and a pleasant fragrance. At home, in China, it is brewed in as many as seven approaches. And every time the taste opens on the new side, which allows you to fully experience all the subtleties of the drink.
Several diets on green tea
The first tea diet is quite simple and gentle.You need to follow it for a month. As a result, you lose eight to ten kilograms and completely cleanse your body of various toxins. The main thing you should always remember is that fasting is not a solution and not the best method. So, for thirty days you should drink about one liter of the drink every day. It is better to choose large-leaf tea of the highest quality. Popular types are Chinese oolong (oolong) or pu-erh, which you could not help but hear about. There are generally several hundred types of this drink, so if you have gone on therapeutic fasting or a diet, then you have an excellent opportunity to try different varieties and find your own, suitable in taste for you. Tea can be drunk both hot and cold. It is better to cool it with ice, without waiting for it to cool down itself. When brewing, you can add some of your favorite herbs, for example, useful soothing infusions. Also, do not forget about the liquid, which you need to drink about two liters per day. It is better if it is plain still water, settled, boiled or simply bought in a store. You can eat almost everything during the day: fish, meat, eggs, dairy products, vegetables and fruits. But limit yourself to fatty foods, flour products, sweets. Eat most products boiled or raw. Also try to completely exclude fried foods. Adding salt and sugar to food should also be reduced to a minimum or not used at all. It is better not to combine meals and tea drinking. Tea should be drunk half an hour before meals or the same time after. This diet is quite easy to follow, and it is very effective, so you can forget about fasting once and for all. In addition, it allows the use of many products, so you will not suffer from monotony. The most suitable time to change your diet, of course, is summer. In the heat, it is not so difficult to hold out on cold tea and various snacks in the form of fruits, berries or vegetables, without hooking yourself on an exhausting fast. But, unfortunately, even such a diet has a number of disadvantages. It cannot be followed by those who have various diseases of the digestive system, for example, ulcers, colitis or gastritis. Do not forget that green tea contains a significant amount of caffeine. Therefore, it is worth initially consulting a nutritionist.
