Teato believes in being fit, in mind, in body, and in heart. I always make sure to run every day to exercise my body, write poetry about the many ways I love tea to exercise my mind, and share my time with beautiful women to exercise my heart. My secret weapon to help me in all these pursuits is a pot of organic herbal tea.

Sometimes life, work, and love get in the way of my exercise regimen.  But here’s hope. Tea can help you with weight loss. There’s lots of information on it, too.

•    Polyphenols found in tea activate the enzyme that is responsible for dissolving triglycerides (a byproduct of processed sugar and fat), which are stored in fat cells. The net result is that the polyphenols help break down fat cells.

•    Catechins, found in green and oolong teas, inhibit the conversion of Carbohydrates and Glucose into fat cells and stabilize blood insulin levels, causing the body to burn more fat cells.

•    Tea increases metabolism and energy consumption and works with other chemicals to intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermo-genesis, where heat is created in the body by burning fuels such as fat.

•    Tea acts as an appetite suppressant.

Teato loves the human body in it’s many beautiful forms. Tall, thin, curvy, petite. What is important is a healthy heart and a healthy mind. But if you drink tea, eat right, and work out, and you’ll stay fit enough to live and love another day.
