Daily detox teas may help you lose weight. The main objective of tea aims to flush the colon of built-up waste and toxins absorbed from processed foods and exposure to environmental pollutants. While there is no scientific evidence to back up the notion of detoxification through drinking teas, weight loss is possible due to the significant calorie reduction.
Step 1
Brew a daily detox tea of your choice each morning and evening. A popular selection is senna.
Step 2
Drink 1 cup of brewed senna tea in the morning and 1 cup before going to bed. This acts as a laxative and flushes waste from the colon.
Step 3
Brew and drink 1 cup of herbal tea immediately following each meal. Choose a tea that aids in digestion such as ginger or peppermint.
Step 4
Drink plenty of water in between cups of tea to prevent dehydration from the laxative effects of the herbal detox teas, says the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Eight to 10 glasses a day is enough to keep you hydrated.
