Green tea improves metabolism, and peppermint helps with stomach and intestinal pain, says nutritionist Trista Best. She revealed the invisible benefits of this drink in a conversation with Eat This, Not That!
Green tea helps to speed up the metabolism and thus avoids weight gain. She explained that this effect is provided by the catechins contained in the drink. "These natural antioxidants promote fat oxidation, improve insulin sensitivity and support healthy weight control," explained the specialist.
Best also advised those watching their figure to drink herbal teas. According to her, a drink with chamomile or dandelion helps digestion and prevents water retention in the body, and ginger tea has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.
The nutritionist added that mint tea, in addition to its calming effect, has the ability to relieve discomfort in the stomach and intestines. In addition, the drink reduces swelling and improves digestion, the expert added. In the meantime, urologists advise not to indulge in strong tea, as well as coffee and cola. These drinks can cause kidney stones. /BGNES
