For centuries, people have used tea in the far east for health and medicinal purposes for dozens, if not hundreds of different medical conditions. Even though obesity has traditionally not been a serious problem in that region, time has developed particular blends of weight loss tea that go a long way toward supporting the healthy habits necessary for real and lasting weight reduction. Still, that does not mean that all slimming teas are safe, or that they are all created equal.
Most of the time when you are shopping for slimming tea, it is going to have some kind of additives, either herbal or chemical, that force your body to behave differently in order to achieve that weight reduction. The mildest of these is caffeine, which boosts the heart rate and briefly gives you energy to maintain a higher level of activity. It also functions as a mild diuretic, causing you to lose water weight through increased urination. Caffeine may be the most common, but many times you are going to find that what has been added to the slimming tea is much more serious.
There are many weight loss teas on the market that contain more dangerous compounds, such as senna or phen-fen, which are proven to be dangerous for the body, especially when taken over a long period of time. The first thing to do when searching for any kind of tea to supplement your weight loss efforts is to read the label and make sure that neither of these are in your tea.
