clicking the subscribe button while you're at it you can turn on the
notification bell as well that way you'll never miss out on any of our new
videos as we post them now sit back relax and get ready to learn about the
potential side effects of tea detox and don't worry we're not looking to check
what you're sipping while you're watching this video for starters it's
important to note that tea detoxes aren't regulated by the FDA that's right
you know the government agency who keeps food safe and makes sure to list exactly
what's in your food and drugs well they don't check in on what
companies claim will benefit you in their teas so a company could sell you a
miracle tea bag with detoxifying elements but it could actually contain
toxic or allergy triggering ingredients so much for that natural remedy huh
oftentimes people will go on tea detox to lose weight green tea is one example
of a go-to for weight loss however there's much more research that
needs to be done before the effects of green tea are fully understood what
researchers do know is that green tea contains chemicals called agents which
appear to increase the fat burned when you exercise but it's important to note
that weight loss during a tea detox with exercise may not be because of the tea
but because of the physical activity that's the thing about losing weight you
do have to exercise unfortunately there's no magic pill powder or
t-that's going to get you your ideal body type it takes work and most of
these detoxing weight loss tees will recommend pairing their drinks with a
balance of healthy eating plenty of exercise and consuming lots of water so
you gotta wonder is it the tea that's helping you lose weight or just that
healthy lifestyle they asked you to adopt it's always important to check the
ingredients of anything you're putting in your body but then something like
these detox teas can claim to have a large effect on your body without being
regulated by the FDA that should probably raise some red flags when you
have teas that claim things like weight loss it may not be weight you're losing
but water water is heavy and when you flush it out you can see big results
fast but those results might not last very long and they might not be very
healthy after all we humans are made up of about
60 to 70 percent water once you stop drinking that tea that's probably got
some kind of laxative effect to it you'll most likely gain that weight back
some unregulated ingredients in detox teas can have even worse side effects in
the weight loss according to health line some of the chemicals and detox teas can
cause heart attacks strokes and seizures some of the more commonly claimed
benefits of detox teas is the cleansing effects they have on the body by acting
as a laxative or a diuretic detox teas tend to contain herbs such as black
pepper cinnamon ginger cardamom and turmeric which it is claimed can help to
boost the body's immune system and improve metabolism some purport that the
ingredients in detox teas are designed to give you energy detox teas are a
widely sold product marketed to help your body expel toxins in reality many
detox teas just lead to water weight loss by sending you to the bathroom more
often in this case emptying your colon and bladder often may result in a small
amount of weight loss and while these teas may contain chemicals meant to
speed you up like a fedra for example and
therefore seemingly give you more energy to be more active a better way to lose
weight they can cause dangerous internal issues it is also claimed by some that
these teas help your body maintain a healthy liver your liver plays an
integral role in detoxifying your body of harmful effects a poor functioning
liver will not be able to keep up with the constant onslaught of environmental
pollutants that needs to be expelled from your body the results of an
overburdened liver can be cirrhosis brain dysfunction hormone imbalances and
an increased risk of cancer there's also the issue of too much caffeine we have
another video talking about the benefits of cutting out caffeine but to sum it up
added caffeine causes nervousness irritation headaches sped up heart rate
and disruption of your sleep caffeine is a stimulant and while it may give you
more energy in the moment to go get out that extra work you might experience a
caffeine crash or have a terrible sleep not getting enough sleep at night can
lead to other negative side effects like trouble concentrating mood changes and
insomnia detox teas do not necessarily contain regulated ingredients you should
avoid teas and other products sold for detox or weight-loss purposes the best
way to stay healthy is to stick to a balanced diet get plenty of exercise
drink lots of water and get enough sleep every night
today drinking detox teas have become a popular practice for people who wish to
clear their body of toxins you may have seen celebrities drinking them as an aid
to a popular current eating fad such as the Master Cleanse diet you're going to
try a tea detox it's very important that you look into what's in your glass detox
teas are readily available and marketed to help you get back on track but if you
don't take a look at the ingredients you could find yourself in the bathroom or
hospital instead of better shape like all things health-related be sure to
check with your doctor before you commit to any detox or diet program
at the end of the day you should always do your homework when it comes to
anything that's going to affect your health find out what exactly is in the
product before you put it in your body even supposedly all natural substances
can have potential side effects especially if they're overused
combined with other supplements or medications that can result in a
negative interaction or if they're taken by people with pre-existing medical
conditions it's your body know what you're putting into it at all times the
detox is over what do you think about this video on detox teas have you detox
