No health plan should rely on just one, single ingredient or item to succeed. In fact it is not just risky, it can be lethal. You need to diversify, much like you would to protect your investments. One item that every health plan should include but too often doesn’t, is tea.
Tea Can’t Hurt
Unlike some supplements, even natural, organic ones, too much is a bad thing. Even a large amount can undo any good done. Not so with tea. Basically your back teeth start to float when you drink a lot and so you naturally stop and go to the bathroom, making room for more tea. We’re…

Tea helps you lose waist. Not weight so much as waist and that is what you want to shed, right? Tava Tea is one of the best on the market and drinking it may help you achieve your ideal weight sooner.
Waist or Weightloss?
We often mix the two up and really, fat weighs a lot less than bone and muscle and very often an exercise regime will burn off fat, but it might build muscle too. The end result is you weigh as much, maybe more than before. Of course that is a healthy kind of weight to have so let’s not think weight. Let’s think waist.
Tea Helps Your Waistline

After water, the second most popular drink in the world is tea. Tea has been consumed by mankind since the 10th Century BC. Its cooling, astringent and slightly bitter flavor is appreciated around the world. The best way to drink tea for health is the natural infusion way, without milk or sugar.
Herbal Tea
Herbal, or ‘erbal’ as the Americans mispronounce the word, is usually infusions made without the tea plant, or Camellia sinensis. Herbal teas are often made of other plants, such as Rosehip, Chamomile or fruit based teas. Herbal teas are also referred to as herbal infusions or ‘tisane’.
Green Tea Is Best
Green tea is considered beneficial to one’s health, and longevity especially for the elderly and…

How many times are we told that fat is bad for you? That if you eat fat then it will immediately go straight to your hips, butt or tummy and remain there forever and nothing you do will ever dislodge it. Too many times and not once was it actually true.
Saturated Or Unsaturated Fats Aren’t So Bad?
That was the next great fib we swallowed. The one about saturated fats and unsaturated fats, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated and whatever other scientific names we had to remember how to pronounce. Can you list the good fats and the bad fats/ Is it unsaturated or saturated that is better than the other kind? I…

If you want to get thin and into better shape then you need to declare war! Declare war on the enemy and the enemy is not fat, calories or anything like that. The enemy is sugar. You have probably known this for some time or at least had a sneaking suspicion about the insidious nature of that sweet substance. Now you know. It’s official. Sugar is the enemy of the people!
Sweet Surrender
We humans are designed to handle sweet things, but very much in moderation. We are not designed to be able to absorb the bombardment we endure every day from sugar and sugar filled products. Because sweet is a…

Boxers have for many years gone for a run wearing a nylon sweat suit. If they didn’t have a proper sweat suit they would improvise with a plastic garbage bag. The result would be akin to a solar still, that desert survival trick where you use a plastic sheet and the sun to cause condensation to form and provide water. For a boxer this was a great way to instantly shed a few ounces, even a couple of pounds! So why don’t all us fat people take a hike every morning swathed in plastic?
Not As Easy As It Seems
Nothing is ever as easy as it seems and if it were simply a…

Your body is made up of mostly water, or fluid to be more precise. While some claim anything up to 95% water, you would have to be a jellyfish to qualify for that number. The authority on body water percentages is Arthur Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology. Guyton states “the total amount of water in a man of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 litres, averaging 60 percent of his total body weight. In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 75 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age, most of the decrease occurring during the first 10 years of life. Also, obesity decreases the percentage of…

Nobody wants to experience that horrible, sinking feeling in the pit of their stomach when they realise they may have just been ripped off. What makes it worse is when the rip off product is a fake health product they have already ingested! Most of us are pretty careful about what we swallow and take into our bodies. By the time we wake up to health, we give up on large amounts of caffeine, alcohol and nicotine and focus on nutritious, healthy products. Or at least we should if we are serious about burning fat and losing weight.
Health Products Must Be Trustworthy
We need to be able to trust the health products…

1-3 dimethylpentylamine is the main ingredient in genuine Phen 375. It replaces a similar yet not so safe or efficient ingredient called dimethylphenylethylamine. That’s the one that killed people. Not everyone but enough people to have the product it was used in, Fen-Phen, removed from the market. The problem is, some knock-offs made and marketed as genuine Phen 375 might use this older ingredient.
Lethal Side Effects
Fen-Phen that was made with dimethylphenylethylamine was made by an otherwise reputable company, American Home Products (now known as Wyeth) yet it had such devastating effects including death of some users that a US$13 billion damages suit was successfully pursued. The original ingredient was fenfluramine that…

A lot of fat burning weight loss supplements contain the latest advances in science and health or a long lost, recently discovered natural ingredient used by some exotic tribe for eons, at least according to the advertising hype on the web sites selling the stuff. Let’s examine one very popular and very big selling brand, Phen 375, arguably one of the greatest fat burning, weight loss success stories of recent years.
Phen 375 Ingredients Work In Harmony
When we look closely at what is in Phen 375 and precisely what each component does, we find that it is made up of several ingredients that by themselves are quite effective in achieving their objectives. Combined,…

Some medical experts claim that detox programs and the products associated with them are merely marketing gimmicks. The Chief Dietician of St George’s Hospital Medical School in London, England, Dr Catherine Collins, says “The concept of ‘detox’ is a marketing myth rather than a physiological entity.” There are many people who do not make their living from selling detox programs and products who would disagree with the learned doctor. These are people who engage in detox programs and are convinced they can feel the difference. Dr Collins continues by saying, “the idea that an avalanche of vitamins, minerals, and laxatives taken over a 2 to 7 day period can have a long-lasting benefit for the body is also…

Although some might describe a juice fast as a fad, or the latest thing, it isn’t. Juice fasting has been around for generations, all that has made it ‘modern’ is the ease with which you can extract the juices from fruits and vegetables with modern kitchen appliances. The practise and the particulars remain the same. Particulars in this context refers to the results, both positive and not so positive, that can be had from performing a juice fast.
Consult Your Doctor First
While some people just do it, as the slogan says, others take a more measured, scientific approach and follow the instructions on the label, so to…

Creeping Obesity or CrOb (pronounced See-ah-ob) is a very real phenomena that most obese people can relate to. When you see someone who is so morbidly obese you wonder how they could ever allow themselves to get that fat, you are most likely looking at a classic case of CrOb. This person didn’t just wake up one morning to find themselves 300lbs overweight. This took time. Time and dedicated hard work!
It’s Caused By Eating Too Much
While there are people who have absolutely no control over their condition and they can point to non-performing thyroids and whatever other medical conditions result in such obesity; the truth of…

The title is spelled correctly, it is a play on words and the proven value of resting between workouts. Rather than measure your weight loss and waist shrinkage every day or even every week, consider taking a break between those all too often less than hoped for result checks!
Trying Too Hard To Lose Weight
We have all heard the term ‘yo-yo’ dieting and of course, we don’t do that, do we. We even know what ‘fad diet’ means and we don’t do them either. Or do we? By diet we should mean our regular eating habits but it usually means a period of personal pain and torture,…
