Herbal Green Tea Removes Extra Fat
Tea drinking started in China but is not exclusive to the Chinese culture. Various societies and tribes worldwide have been drinking tea for different reasons. Some people drink herbal green tea for medicinal purposes as they believe that green tea can heal all sorts of physical ailments and even heal the soul.
Other people drink tea as a part of religious rituals. There are also those who drink tea as substitute to non-healthful drinks such as coffee and soda. But whatever the reason, drinking tea (whether it is green tea or not) is beneficial to the human body. Most of the tea extracts contain antioxidants that can inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Furthermore, antioxidants can even kill the debilitating cancer cells of some types of cancer without harming the normal cells. Consequently, more and more people are taking to their cups and drinking tea daily.
Herbal green tea is said to contain the largest amount of antioxidants. But did you know that there is also an herbal green tea that can eliminate the excess fats in the body? The name of the plant is hoodia gordonii and it is found in only one region in the world – the South African Kalahari Desert. Due to the popularity of the plant and its plant extracts, hoodia gordonii is fast becoming an endangered species. There is now a significantly lesser supply of hoodia gordonii in the desert of South Africa. Aggressive harvesting of the plant is, of course, the culprit. You see, the extracts of the plant are so effective in warding off hunger many people ingest it as an herbal green tea or as a pill/
The hoodia gordonii contains steroidal glycoside, otherwise known as P57, which can fool the brain into thinking that you are not yet hungry. In other words, hoodia gordonii suppresses the appetite. A British study revealed that the use of hoodia gordonii diet pill reduces calorie intake by up to 1,000 calories a day. Translating that into more understandable terms, it means that you will lose between 4 to 6 pounds a week! That is a small miracle right there!
