Healthy Living in Today's World

Today's fast-paced and convenience-based world makes living a healthy lifestyle sometimes feel like less of walk in the park and more of a marathon of keeping up with the ever-changing dietary and wellness trends, the supposed financial and time expenses of investing in healthy living, and the dedication necessary to resist the urges of tempting quick-fixes and lifestyle shortcuts. Sometimes it can feel like a truly healthy lifestyle can become like a second job, demanding too much of your time and energy to fully invest. However, a healthy lifestyle cannot be achieved through shortcuts and quick fixes, but that doesn't make the aspiration unachievable! A healthy lifestyle consists of a lot of smaller choices, and even changing one or two things can have a positive impact on your health!

The Known and the Unknown Agents

Toxins are present in all aspects of our environment, from the pollution in our air and water to the processed food of our American diets laden with preservatives, pesticides, and parasites, toxins are inescapable. These toxins build up over time and have detrimental and unwelcome effects on our bodies, slowing down their natural process. Such effects include weight gain, weakened immune systems, accelerated aging, allergies, and a large variety of illnesses. The toxins cannot be eliminated efficiently and get backed up in the body's processing systems. To counteract this, proactive steps must be taken in lifestyle and nutrition for overall wellness.

Benefits of Tea

One small change that can be beneficial for your health is to detoxify and consume healthier beverages. Luckily, there is a natural substance known to do just that, and you may have heard of it. That's right! It's tea (and we're not talking about sweet tea). Unfortunately, few people know about the health benefits of tea and its ability to aid in detoxification. So what is a detox and how does tea help?

What is a Detox?

Tea, especially green teas, are filled with large quantities of antioxidants, vitamins, and general goodness, and have been hailed as a staple in the diets of the health-conscious, and there's good reason. Not only are they delicious and refreshing, but they can also help you burn fat , improve your immunity, and rehydrate. However, a paramount benefit is the ability to rid your body of the daily build up of toxins, metals, and other gunk: a detox.

How Can a Detox Affect My Weight?

Detox teas include caffeine, which naturally occurs in the tea. This caffeine is combined with diuretics (a substance that promotes urination), and can trigger the loss of water weight. Two cups of water equates to about one pound on the scale, so shedding that fluid you're holding onto can make you look and feel lighter and, in turn, often promotes and accelerates the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle by other means as well. Further, detox teas can have a laxative effect, which encourages your body to remove waste from your GI tract, enhancing the effects already seen by the loss of water weight and further encouraging the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle. The antioxidants in the tea can also increase your metabolic rate, causing your body to burn more fat at rest, which could result in weight loss.

What's So Special About Peppermint?

Peppermint tea is a jack of all trades when it comes to the benefits of tea. With a strong and soothing aroma, it is also able to assist in a variety of health ailments. Primarily, peppermint tea is effective at soothing the body, whether it be bloating and digestive issues or nausea. Peppermint tea is often suggested as an aid to those suffering from irritable bowl syndrome (IBS), and has even been noted to help relieve muscle pain, mild asthma, and stress.¹
