Weight loss can be difficult. One has to keep a check on their diet, sleep well and manage stress among others. In such cases, certain weight loss tips turn out to be helpful as they help in shedding off the extra weight easily. There are several foods that help to boost your metabolism, thereby, increasing the number of calories that are burnt. Also, there are certain foods that help to increase your satiety levels, thereby, preventing overeating and reducing your calorie consumption.
A fat loss dietician says that this drink is ‘nature’s Ozempic’ and claims it can help with weight loss and improve blood sugar levels. Ozempic “may improve blood sugar” when paired with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Dietician Maggie on Tiktok said that if you’re looking for a natural way to improve your blood sugar, decrease your diabetes risk, and shed some weight, green or black tea is your go-to. Both of these teas stimulate your body to produce the hormone found in Ozempic and reduce blood sugar levels. Therefore, she suggests incorporating two to five cups into your daily diet, according to a report in Mirror.co.uk.
She said, “Just your daily reminder from a fat loss dietician not to sleep on nature’s Ozempic, aka green or black tea. The polyphenols in green or black tea stimulate your L cells to produce more GLP1.
“What’s GLP1? The hormone in Ozempic. It also makes the GLP1 that's produced by your body last longer, so you're getting more and longer-lasting GLP1.
“Don't sleep on it. Two to five cups a day is ideal. I add collagen peptides to mine for an additional fat-burning boost of protein.”
This hormone which is also known as glucagon-like peptide-1 plays an important role in controlling blood sugar levels by making the body secrete extra insulin, slowing down digestion and reducing sugar production in the liver.
Other health benefits of tea
Rich in Antioxidants
Tea contains catechins and flavonoids which are powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, thereby, reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Heart Health
Regular consumption of tea, especially, green and black teas has been linked to improved cardiovascular health. Polyphenols in tea can help reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels and improve overall heart function.
Mental Alertness
Tea has moderate amounts of caffeine which can improve focus and mental clarity without causing the jitteriness often linked to coffee. Also, L-theanine in tea helps to keep you calm and focused.
Reduced Risk of Stroke
Research suggests that regular tea drinkers might have a lower risk of stroke. This is due to tea’s ability to improve blood circulation and reduce clot formation.

Hydration
Despite its caffeine content, tea is hydrating and can help to improve your daily fluid intake.
