Tea-licious health drink

THOSE craving for food, even when they are not hungry, are not alone. A survey found that almost all young women and nearly 70% of young men have food cravings.

There are many factors behind food cravings, but emotion and desire are the most common causes.

According to researcher on taste and food preference­s Dr Adam Drewnowski, food cravings are triggered to satisfy emotional needs such as calming stress and reducing anxiety.

These comfort foods are normally high in carbohydra­tes, sugar and fat. When cravings get out of control, more calories are fed into the body than it needs, leading to weight gain.

Certain teas such as green tea can help banish food cravings. Researcher­s found that green tea helps to suppress appetite by boosting the levels of a hunger-stopping hormone.

Apart from its effects on appetite, green tea also helps to burn fat. A study found that people who consume green tea have higher energy expenditur­e from fat compared to those who do not.

When brewed with other botanical ingredient­s such as garcinia cambogia and lemongrass, green tea can help to promote a calmer mood, reduce cravings and even shed extra pounds.

Garcinia cambogia has become popular for its ability to boost weight loss. This small citrus fruit helps suppress appetite and prevent emotional eating by improving one’s mood, while also preventing the body from producing fat due to excess calories.

Lemongrass in tea is a digestive aid that helps relieve bloating, constipati­on and indigestio­n. It also induces a healthier sleep cycle, as we eat less when we have enough sleep.

Healthy and refreshing tea

The benefits of these botanicals can be found in a single sachet of Beauxlim Botanical Tea with garcinia cambogia.

Made from natural botanicals, it is a unique blend of green tea, lemongrass and garcinia cambogia, among others.
