Tea for Weight loss?

There’s a lot of buzz now about tea and its health benefits but did you know that green tea and black tea tend to dominate the scene?  Herbal teas are used throughout the world for  traditional healing practices.  And did you know there is a difference between herbal tea and “real tea?” 

Real tea is made from the leaves of a single plant, the tea bush (Camellia sinensis). Green tea, black tea, white tea and oolong tea are all considered to be real teas. The only difference among  them has to do with how it is processed.

Herbal teas, as the name implies, are produced from any number of different herbs and combination of herbs. Unlike “real tea,” which is only brewed from leaves, herbal teas can be prepared from steeping the leaves, stems, flowers, roots, bark or rhizomes of the particular herbs.

In terms of  weight loss some small studies do suggest (Matcha is particularly good for you) green tea in particular is a good thermogenic tea, meaning it helps burn fat more effectively. There is a bit of research on oolong tea too that states it may help weight watchers. But remember like anything else you still have to have healthy eating and exercise habits. Amazon carries a 
nice variety of almost any kind of tea even so-called "dessert teas."

Pure filtered Water is the ideal beverage for weight loss from a nutritional  point of view but I also know people need variety and better choices can certainly include these teas in particular, not just from a fat burning perspective but because of the other health benefits these teas offer compared to sodas, juices, and other artificially flavored drinks.
