Imagine yourself in a quiet moment, sipping tea scented with magical holiday flavors like gingerbread, peppermint fudge, and sugar plum. Sounds relaxing, right? It is! There's also evidence that components in the same festive teas can lift spirits, rev energy, and soothe achy joints. And for anyone whose waistbands are a bit snug, here's an extra-nice bonus: "Tea has powerful medicinal properties that stimulate our bodies to release bloat, reduce cravings, rev metabolism, and much more," shares natural health guru and former NIH researcher Pina LoGuidice, N.D. And 60 Seconds To Slim author Michelle Schoffro Cook, Ph.D., adds, "It's a perfect way to jump-start healing and weight loss at this busy time of year." Women like 160-pounds-slimmer Grace Gardiner agree, saying Christmas teas are their secret weapon in December, helping them feel amazing and shed 5, 11, even 13 pounds a week!
Special Christmas tea varieties have been around for centuries, but in modern times, we have literally hundreds to choose from. You might try Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride; Bigelow Peppermint Bark; Stash Tea's lavender-kissed Christmas in Paris blend; DavidsTea Gingerbread Blondie; Adagio Teas Roasted Chestnut blend-and that's just a small taste. Luckily, you can choose as many as you like! Each tea boasts unique health-promoting compounds, including "antioxidants that target fat in different ways," says UCLA researcher Susanne Henning, Ph.D. "By cycling between them, you get the best benefits of each."
