Does drinking tea cause weight gain?
Experts say that drinking tea can burn fat cells. It contains some compounds which burn fat cells and increase metabolism. Apart from this, it contains high amount of caffeine which is helpful in boosting your energy. Tea contains high levels of compounds that help reduce the amount of fat absorbed by the gut and also reduce cholesterol (eating garlic will help reduce cholesterol). The catechin present in it is an antioxidant which is helpful in weight loss. But when you drink tea in the wrong way, your weight starts increasing.
Drinking tea in this way increases weight.
If you drink milk tea your weight may increase.
A cup of tea is often loaded with sugar, which can also lead to weight gain.
If you are drinking tea 5 times a day, then you are consuming sugar 5 times, this can also lead to weight gain.
Some people do not drink tea without biscuits, bread or snacks. Due to this also your weight may increase.
If you are drinking tea after eating food then the consumption of calories will increase and the absorption of nutrition will reduce.
Drinking tea like this will not increase weight.
Whenever you make tea, add herbs. Make tea by adding clove, cardamom, basil, ginger, liquorice (benefits of applying liquorice on face). All these spices will boost metabolism and help in enhancing the properties present in tea. Apart from this, you should make tea only with low fat milk or if you are very conscious about weight and cannot give up tea, then drink tea without milk and with low sugar. If you are making milk tea, then never overcook the tea, this can also increase the fat.
