Great article. I plan on incorporating tea in my diet. I’m glad you mentioned the ‘laws of health’ in your post. I couldn’t agree more with your list. I’ve come to realize over the years that a balanced diet is 80% of the hard work. Exercising is only about 20%. The results come from a balanced diet and incorporating essentials like tea in your diet will lead to great health.
Hello Joey it is so good to hear from you, these teas are a great choice but along with that we should follow the laws of health. Thanks for commenting, I am glad that I could help, have a good day.
very nice post!!! it will really help people in their battle to lose weight (i’m one of them). Is great that they are so easy to make and it sounds they taste good too.
Is there any difference on the results if the tea is decaf or have to contain caffeine?
Hello it is so good to meet you. These teas are really easy to make and so beneficial. Teas are made from leaves that have caffeine, when you talk about decaf it is simply taking the leaves through a process where it is striped of its caffeine. caffeine is a natural part of leaves. Medical studies have shown that caffeine has its benefits also. What I want to suggest is drink in mordaration to keep everything balanced . Hope this helps, have a good evening.
I totally agree with your laws of health ideas here. Most of the time weight loss comes down to the most simple and basic things, and for some reason we find it really hard to follow! I think once a person has dedicated themselves to the lifestyle changes that are needed in order for weight loss to happen, adding teas would be a very effective addition to a healthy routine.
Hello Liz. Thanks for commenting. These teas do work wonders and is a added benefit. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful morning.
Hi Norman, I really enjoyed your article about tea. I’m a huge green tea lover and drink about 6 cups a day. I replaced coffee with my tea awhile ago now because the coffee was affecting my sleep, and I do feel much better for it. I’ve never tried peppermint tea or the laso tea before and if it can help you loose weight im willing to give it a try. Thanks again for your great article. Joanne
Hello rob, it is so good to meet you, these teas to really work wonders and green tea has so many benefits. The Peppermint and the Iaso is of great value with all its benefits. Thanks for commenting, I am glad that I could help and have a good evening.
Your site is very informative. It looks like you were able to catch your viewers in a good way. They all want to try the tea and it makes me want to try it too. I think you did a very good job. I don’t really see too much that you need to work on. There is nothing to criticize on from me.
Hello Cathy Anderson it is so good to meet you, these teas are a good way to loose weight.. Thanks for commenting and for your kind words. I am glad that I could help. All the best to you and have a good day.
I always learn something interesting on this site, Norman. Thanks!
I will be looking for lasso tea now to try it. I was surprised that it steeps so long and gets diluted and chilled. I am curious what it tastes like.
Also, the reminder about green tea and matcha tea were appreciated.
I already drink lemon juice mixed into my water all day. :^) Keep up the good work here!
I drink green tea, daily. I wasn’t aware drinking green tea is good for weight loss. I used to drink coffee, too much. I was told by my health care practitioner that I’d be better off drinking green tea for the acidity level my body was fighting. There are many green teas on the market these days, I’m wondering which brand is your favorite? I love looking over your site as it has tons of great information, all very valuable and interesting!
As an English man, I’m absolutely crazy about tea! I must drink 6 to 10 cups per day lol. But I guess the caffeine can’t really be that good for me, not to mention the sugar that piles on the extra pounds.
So now, I’m hoping to lose weight, and the weight loss tea here seems like it can definitely help me to cut back on the unhealthy tea I’m consuming.
Having looked at the 3 different types of tea you’ve mentioned, I think the organic Peppermint tea sounds more appealing to me. I think it’s great that the tea also offers so many amazing health benefits.
Thanks.
Neil
