The Ultimate guide to teatox will make your detox journey a breeze and you won’t think of it as a diet. One of the most calming, soothing inexpensive herbs is also one of the best detox ever. I am a tea gal and I find as much ways to incorporate tea into my everyday life. Not only do I drink it with breakfast but throughout the day before or after lunch and sometimes before bedtime.
Drinking teas can be traced back to thousands of years, through many cultures and was often used for its medicinal qualities. To this day many people like to indulge in their favorite tea and find that it has a lasting effect. Using tea as a detox is one of the best ways to cleanse the body, calm the mind and make you feel refresh. I enjoy drinking teas and see everyday the added benefits on my body; not only on the outside but on the inside. Drinking teas isn’t for everyone but when you do teatox you will see a difference. Here’s the ultimate guide to teatox:
Do not think of it as a diet
Doing any detox and especially a teatox shouldn’t be looked on as a diet; by doing so you are setting yourself up for failure. Doing a teatox is about cleansing the body and recharging, starting a new. Instead of drinking tea alone; add it to a meal as this will increase your fluid intake, or replace a beverage with tea. Make drinking tea part of your daily routine than as a chore.
Do not focus on losing weight
One of the biggest misconceptions is Instagram, the illusion that if you drink tea then you will lose a lot of weight. FALSE! Don’t drink tea with this perception, as you will set yourself up for failure. In fact, be open as you might lose something just not the amount claimed by Instagram models. These fad teas such as; flat tummy tea and skin tea are just laxatives disguise as teas with the endless promise of weight loss; DO NOT FALL FOR IT. By using these teas you are causing more harm than good. Weight loss is a science, and in order to lose weight, you have to do it the right way, and not rely on teas. Teas alone can’t garner the results you want but can help you on that journey.
Do incorporate it with your meal
A point previously stated, drinking tea can be incorporated while having a meal. I encourage this, as drinking tea can be seen as a chore, and who likes to feel burden when drinking tea. In order to make the teatox successful you have to want to do it. You have to enjoy the process in order to see the end goal.
Do eat clean
Just because you are doing a teatox doesn’t mean eat what you want. This is the best time to incorporate a balanced diet; eat all the fruits, vegetables, healthy nuts and fats. By doing this it propels your weight loss; as you are cleaning your body while providing it with the adequate nutrients.
Exercise is key
One of the best parts of doing a detox is the increased energy and that means more fat to burn. Exercise is one of the best ways of making teatoxing more effective as exercise helps with mobility and movement; thus making the release of toxins easier. Exercise, a balanced diet and teatox leads to proper weight loss.
Drinking lots of water
Even though teas are just water and a tea bag. Nothing beats drinking plain water, natures own. Drinking water is an excellent way to increase detoxing; and goes without saying, drinking up to 1 liter a day does wonders for the body. You can add lemon, mint or cucumber to make it more flavorful and refreshing.
Doing a teatox is one of the best ways to detox and get your body cleanse and energize. Might I add that there are many different teas you can drink; which makes it even more exciting. DO NOT teatox for more than 7 days at a time, give your body some time to work; you can split it up and do it every other month. I recommend when doing a teatox go as natural as possible and two teas I have tried are Total tea and Yogi tea; both work so well and your body will thank you.
