Green tea is the one food item we find a lot of myths attached to and so we decided bust a few of them for you to help you make better decisions 😀

MYTH 1- EAT ALL YOU LIKE AND HAVE A CUP OF GREEN TEA TO DETOX😒
People believe that drinking a few cups of green tea along the day helps melt fat like wax. This makes them believe that they can eat anything in sight, consume a cup of green tea and fat will magically burn off. It is marketing strategies have made us believe that green tea is the magic wand that helps you get rid of fat.

But have ever wondered what Science says?🤔

Science says, that green tea consumption can boost metabolism BUT NOT TO EXTENT WHERE IT HELPS WEIGHT LOSS 😯

For green tea to work, you need to back it up with an optimum diet and effective workout regime 🥗🏃‍♂️✅

MYTH 2- DRINK AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE, IT’S HEALTHY ❌❌
Another interesting myth we came across was that one can drink as much as they like as it is healthy. Guys, excess of anything is bad. Grren tea contains caffeine and caffeine is addictive and works just like ci******es. Greater dosage of green tea has side effects such as headache, nervousness, sleep problems, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, irregular heartbeat and even liver injury. 😱

It is highly imperative to understand that green tea is great metabolism booster and not a super food to aid weight loss 🤗

Let’s not be fooled by marketing techniques and play with our health
😎
Let’s pledge to get our facts right so as make good decisions when it comes to the health of us and our loved ones 🤗

No, we are not saying that Green tea is bad for you. Green tea is having multiple benefits like
improving brain function, protecting against cancer and lowering the risk of heart disease. We do recommend, Green tea in our diet plan too but Green tea is no magic pill. Everything has its own pros and cons. Green tea may help and benefit you but over exploiting and consumption won’t do any good to you.
