Another way you can consume the tea is to drink it regularly 20-30 minutes before two of your meals per day to begin the stretching of your stomachs receptors. This sends a signal to your brain that food is present in your stomach, and the soluble fiber then enters your digestive tract 20 minutes after consuming. This can then allow your body to release hormone signals to the hypothalamus, which will help your body create the “full factor” response to your brain when eating your meal. This results in you feeling fuller while eating less during your meal and prevents overeating or snacking afterward.
I tried the Lipton detox dandelion nettle grapefruit herbal supplement green tea recently after having a cold for an easy morning pick me up. It was an interesting flavor that I somewhat enjoyed. The grapefruit flavor is the strongest in the tea and I usually don't like fruit flavored tea, but this wasn't bad. I like that it didn't make me feel jittery or upset my stomach (like coffee sometimes does, especially if I haven't eaten much yet). For me, this would be a better tea to drink before yoga. Tastes nice with honey. I like to rub the leftover herbs in the bags over my face for an easy "spa treatment" once they've cooled a little before tossing out or using in my gardening compost. Worth trying.
While the benefits are plentiful, there are some important side-effects that you should keep in mind when drinking these teas. For example, when drinking the Original EveryDay Detox Tea, you should consult your doctor before if you have a history of gallstones or other digestive issues. The EveryDay Detox Tea Lemon can cause allergic reactions in those who are allergic to stinging nettle, dandelion, or burdock root.
