The types of teas and their benefits are very recurrent subjects when talking about ways to lose fat and lose weight.

Teas with thermogenic properties are well known to help speed up metabolism in a healthy way and increase fat burning (especially in conjunction with exercise and healthy meals), preventing it from building up in the body.
