law 8: drink yourself slim
As well as drinking plenty of water, try to get your fill of green tea too. A study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition showed that people who drank 3-7 cups of green tea per day, reduced their body fat by around 2%. This is because green tea contains an ingredient called EGCG that helps to stimulate your metabolism and improve fat oxidation.
If you’re not a fan of green tea, try black coffee instead. Whereas a standard sized cappuccino contains 120 calories, black coffee contains just 2 calories and has a similar effect as green tea on your metabolism.
Tulsi tea is another Ayurvedic compound made from the plant holy basil which has similar properties to Ashwaghanda in that it helps to lower the effects of both psychological and physical stress, lowers cortisol, reduces inflammatory responses, improves liver function as well as helping to fight infection. Use Tulsi tea in place of coffee or green tea and drink 4-6 times a day for best effect.
