How many calories are there in tea?

The interest caused by the calorie content of the consumed products is quite justified and justified. And even those who are not on a diet. It's part of food culture, so to speak.

For those who follow a diet regimen, keep track of their figure, or keep calorie counts for each dish, there is good news: 100 grams of finished tea drink has 2 to 5 calories.

That is, on average, one cup of tea without additives = 10 Kcal. All other calories are extra and they appear, as a rule, from tea & laquo; bites & raquo; - sugar, honey, jam, milk. The lowest calorie content in green tea & ndash; 1-3 calories, and the highest & ndash; in black.

Tea as a dietary element

In addition to such a low calorie level, green tea, as studied by scientists, can contribute to weight loss.

Green tea polyphenols have been shown to block the activity of amylase, an enzyme in saliva that breaks down carbohydrates. This is what makes it possible to judge the ability of green tea to burn fat faster than to accumulate it.

And the theobromine contained in tea has a diuretic effect, so green tea can gently remove excess fluid from the body, helping the lymphatic and genitourinary systems. And this is also a factor in favor of losing weight.

 Glassware tea

During the diet, it is recommended to drink at least four cups of green tea daily: it has the ability to gently suppress appetite, helping to fight the desire to eat something.

During cleaning and unloading days, it is easiest to hold out by drinking green tea without additives: fluid withdrawal + decreased appetite + intestinal cleansing are decisive factors that indicate its benefits.

For all trace elements, vitamins, amino acids and polyphenols to work as efficiently as possible, you should only buy fresh products.

Even if you drink a large amount of tea daily, it is unlikely to harm the body, rather, on the contrary.

At the same time, pleasure from the pleasant taste, subtle aroma of the drink and good mood will not affect the figure in any way, eliminating the need to count calories.
