These days, it is easy for someone and anyone to come up with just any combination of supposedly “popular” ingredients and lay a claim that they have just discovered the latest and newest “secret” to losing weight super fast. The only thing is like the many “fake” weight loss pills in the market today, you would realize after having parted with your hard earned money that it was all a fluke. Paradoxically, instead of having the pill or supplement or patch function as a weight loss agent and saving you some money, you may end having to book an appointment with the physician to have your heart checked for likely “heart problems”, insomnia and incessant headaches. However, this does not mean that all weight loss pills and supplements in the market have all such side effects. In fact there are some that are not even pills but herbal teas that can help you lose weight drastically without having to undergo all the stress and side effects that are as a result of using caffeine-bombed weight loss pills. One of such weight loss solutions is the Wu Yi Herbal Tea. The Wu Yi Tea otherwise known as the oolong tea is a dark Chinese tea that is partially fermented before being dried. Its properties were not known in the west until recently when it was introduced into the market and its awesome weight loss properties were extolled all over the world and it was not uncommon to have Oprah talk about it on her show. At one point in time, she was reported to have said that “the secret to weight loss may lie in the heart of South Africa”. The fact that this tea is suddenly all over the news and internet is not an indication that it hasn’t been in existence for a long time. In fact, it is nothing new in Asia. Have you noticed how Asians always seem to have a slim body without fat? Even Bruce Lee was onced reputed to have less than 3% body fat. This goes to show that one of their “secrets” to slimness was as a result of this Oolong tea. In Asia, not only is it recognized for its weight loss ability, it is also known to have other health benefits such as detoxification of he whole body system, increasing he body’s metabolism and prevention against infection. In some instances, it is even used to treat infections. The Wu Yi tea was named after the mountain WuYi Shan in China, where it is harvested from. Its property as a fat burner comes from its major ingredient Polyphenol. This is capable of inciting the breakdown of fat into fatty acids and glycerol. It does this by activating triglycerides –a fat burning enzyme- which then improves and enhances the body metabolism while helping you lose weight. More Wu Yi Tea Information

When you start eating more raw foods you may find you’re not as thirsty or don’t need as much water or other beverages as you normally do. There are several reasons for this. First of all, raw foods, such as raw fruits and vegetables have a higher volume of water in them, so your body is getting the hydration it needs from foods.

This doesn’t mean you should stop drinking water or juices. You don’t want to adopt some of the more radical elements of the raw food trend. First and foremost, listen to your body. It will tell you what it needs. If you’re overweight, sluggish, tired, depressed, your body might be telling you to make some dietary changes, and raw foods might be one way to alleviate some physical disorders.

But if you’re overweight and have symptoms of Type Two diabetes, overwhelming thirst can be one symptom. When you start consuming more raw foods, with a higher fiber and moisture content, you may start to lose weight, and that can go a long way to reducing your blood sugars.

If you’re not overweight, or don’t have Type Two diabetes, you still might find you’re not as thirsty as you normally are. First of all, if you’re drinking water and juices, you’re not consuming caffeine, which is so dehydrating and makes you thirstier. And by not consuming as much in the way of cooked foods or especially highly processed foods, which have astronomical sodium counts, you won’t be as thirsty either.

By consuming more raw, uncooked food, and pure water and fruit juices, you’re putting your body into balance. Keeping sodium to normal levels found in foods means you’ll start to require a more balanced amount of water. Don’t think of this as changing or taking away. Think of it as adding balance, and it will make the process of eating healthier much easier.

Because cooking takes so many nutrients and vitamins out of food, you automatically start feeding your body what it needs when you stop cooking food and start eating uncooked, nutrient-rich foods. A raw carrot has exponentially more nutrition than a cooked carrot.

Cooking also alters the chemistry of foods, often making them harder to digest. Why do we have so many digestive problems in this country? Because we’re putting foods into our bodies in a form that we weren’t designed to absorb. High fiber, high water content fresh produce abolishes constipation of the bowels, cells and circulatory system. Obstructions are cleared and blood flow increases to each and every cell in the body. Enhanced blood flow is significant for two reasons: as mentioned above, blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to living cells, and carries away their toxic metabolites.

Obesity is endemic in this country. The diet industry is more profitable than the oil companies. Why? Because the way we eat and prepare our food practically guarantees that we’ll overeat. Psychologists tell us that we overeat because our souls are hungry. But in reality, our bodies are hungry, even though we may feel full. When you start giving your body the nutrients it craves, overeating will cease.

Eating raw foods is a boost to your metabolism as well. It takes a little more energy to digest raw foods, but it’s a healthy process. Rather than spending energy to rid itself of toxins produced by cooking food, the body uses its energy to feed every cell, sending vitamins, fluids, enzymes and oxygen to make your body the efficient machine it was intended to be.

You’ll naturally stop overeating, because your body and brain will no longer be starving for the nutrients they need. A starving brain will trigger the thoughts that make you overeat. The brain and the rest of your body don’t need quantity; they need quality.
