Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

There’s little doubt you’ve heard about the major benefits associated with teas like green and black teas. Both tea strains contain antioxidants and can create thermogenesis in your body, which is when your body temperature increases, making it even easier to burn calories (even when you’re standing still).


If you’re searching for a different tea to add to your morning routine, it doesn’t get much better than this one: pu-erh tea.

Pu-erh tea is derived from the same camellia sinensis plant as green tea, and it comes in both black and tea varieties.


There are a few reasons why this tea type is an excellent weight loss aid. For starters, it improves your digestive system.


“Pu-erh tea suppresses the synthesis of fatty acids, which can help your body stop producing higher levels of fat,” reports Cup and Leaf. “Pu-erh tea also encourages your body to produce the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine, which work to reduce stores of fatty acids.”

Like black tea or coffee, pu-erh tea also contains caffeine (about 60-70 mg per cup), which is why it is best to drink it earlier in the day. In addition to helping you wake up and feel more alert, its caffeine content gives your metabolism a nice little boost that increases your body’s ability to burn calories and fat.

There are even more reasons to drink pu-erh tea. The delicious blend contains a combination of the phyto-chemicals GABA and theanin, which work together to help lower your stress levels. When your cortisol levels are lower, you not only feel better, but can sleep more soundly at night, giving your muscles an opportunity to recuperate, grow, and in turn, burn more fat.


If you’re looking for more hot beverage options to help you feel amazing and lose weight, pu-erh tea is the way to go.
