Herbal tea

The Globe Artichoke (Cynara) is one of the oldest medicinal plants used as a remedy, dating back to 4th century B.C. Ancient Greeks and Romans utilized the artichoke primarily as a digestive aid. Since then it spread gradually throughout Europe. The success is explained by the artichoke's health benefits. Having a powerful effect on the production of bile and fat-digesting enzymes, the artichoke improves digestion and liver function. Moreover, the artichoke lowers cholesterol levels by reducing absorption of cholesterol in the intestine, with less cholesterol being synthesized in the liver and more being eliminated.

Green Tea Blend - Diet

Green Tea Blend is a well-balanced infusion of green tea, Java tea (Orthosiphon) and liquorice. Green Tea Blend stimulates metabolism, burns fat, detoxifies, and hence helps to lose weight.

Green tea is seemingly the world's most undervalued medicinal plant. It has long been used as a gentle stimulant as well as potent antioxidant, astringent, and diuretic. But a recent research has found that green tea aids weight loss. Green tea has more than 300 biologically active substances. The most important compound among them is catechins, which reduce body fat. Daily consumption of tea burns 80 calories a day. Japanese scientists found out that mice eating green tea leaves are two times lighter than ordinary mice. Academics explain the fact that some green tea substances inhibit enzymes responsible for absorption of carbohydrates. Hence, green tea prevents a sudden rise in glucose, resulting in lower appetite.
