Served hot or iced, tea is a versatile drink that brings countless benefits to the body. The detox option, for example, detoxifies the body and helps to lower blood cholesterol levels. If the goal is to lose weight, liquid can be of great help, according to weight loss specialist Mariana Arraes.
Able to help control even blood pressure to reduce the chances of cardiovascular problems, detox tea is present in the routine of several actresses and singers.
Mariana highlights the advantages of consuming the drink regularly:
- Healthy longevity;
- It can calm the mind;
- Improves sleep quality;
- Relieves hangover effects.
In addition to being tasty, according to the doctor, drinks with diuretic effects are useful after parties with a lot of food and drink. “It is necessary to detoxify the organism through teas, such as lean pholia, cactinea and hibiscus, or some mixtures that come ready-made. Sachet teas are more practical, but you can also buy the components and make it yourself”, he advises.
However, Mariana considers that it is bad to consume more than the recommended amount, as they can cause stomach discomfort, nausea and intestinal changes, such as diarrhea and increased flatulence.
