| Green tea and ginger: Helps to deflate. Green tea has diuretic properties that remove toxins from the body. Ginger has a thermogenic action and also favours the burning of body fat. Preparation mode: Place a tablespoon of green tea (or tea bag) and 1 cm of ginger root in a teapot with 1L of water, and boil for 5 minutes. Strain and drink during the day. Avoid adding sugar. |
Green anise tea: Ideal for flu contexts. Anise has expectorant properties that help to dilute secretions, making it easier to breathe. Preparation mode: Put a tablespoon of green aniseeds in a cup of boiling water. Allow to cool, strain, and drink. It can be consumed several times a day and sweetened with honey since it has antioxidants that help with recovery. | |
| Chamomile tea: It has properties that help to calm the nervous system. To combat anxiety and insomnia episodes, you can also opt for lavender, lemon balm, and passionflower. Preparation mode: Put a tablespoon of chamomile plant (or a teabag) in a cup of boiling water. Let it cool, strain, and enjoy. You can take it about three times a day. |

| Black tea: As it contains caffeine, it is important to pay attention to the amount ingested. It has flavonoids that help fight inflammation and contribute to a healthier immune system. It helps to improve digestion and is a good ally in the slimming diet. This is not recommended for people suffering from insomnia. Preparation mode: Place a teaspoon of dried black tea leaves (or a teabag) in a cup of boiling water. Let it rest for about five minutes and enjoy. |
