So, I finally planned to embark on the healing journey and my green tea experience is one part of it. I’m not someone who typically seeks out fat-burning solutions; I’ve always had a slim or athletic body type and never felt the need to pursue weight-loss strategies. Blessed in a sense, given the vast market and the interest in weight-loss solutions. Even meditation offerings are now promoting the health benefit of fat loss to woo and retain potential customers. So, coming to green tea, I am sure you have all heard this :

“Green Tea has multiple health benefits.  It keeps body fat way. It sheds extra kilos. It gives you energy. It does this. It does that. And so much more”

I have come to realise that the closer you get to nature, the more energetic you become. At the same time you start shedding the fat that you had held onto as part of life’s survival mechanism. I do keep experimenting and venturing out on different diet, while still a lot of these experiments on natural home remedies remain. And had plans to blog on these different experiences. Nevertheless, this experiment on green tea is something I definitely had tryst with. It was during a period when I was focused on embracing a healthier lifestyle. It’s a common feeling to sense a shift as we age and want to recapture the vitality of our younger years. And here I read about green tea removing all the toxins, fats and stuff from your body through its antioxidants, etc. while making you full of energy again. There are also many advocates touting its anti-aging benefits.

So, here I begin having green tea thrice daily – once in the morning, once after lunch, and once in the evening. It wasn’t that I particularly enjoyed the taste, though these days there are some really delightful flavours. What I found appealing is the idea of sipping something healthy while engaging in casual conversations, when everyone was mostly having their regular tea. I had never been addicted to regular tea (with milk and sugar), but I had casually enjoyed it for a long time, mainly for the pleasure of sipping something warm.

Fast Forward >> 10 Days : Green Tea Effects

Here’s the deal. After 10 days of my green tea experiment, I began to notice a significant difference. I felt good, likely boosted by the satisfaction of embarking on a healthier journey. I also felt sharp and more energetic. It was noticeable but not really that stark, given that I was only 10 days into the experiment. However the most noticeable effect was that of losing fat. I could see it all over my body, not just in my belly. My face began to resemble the slender, defined appearance I had in my teens again; there was no excess fat, simply a more young, sharper aspect. My body has always been extremely environment-sensitive; it may gain or lose fat, and it can pump up or down in a matter of days. During this time, I didn’t make any other significant dietary adjustments. Additionally, the green tea I was drinking was organic, came in tea bags, with flavour of tulsi. These days, a wide variety of green tea is available, each with claims to special advantages, such as macha, oolong, Japanese green tea, and more. I would advise choosing from the reliable source and preferably organic.

This green tea experience truly impressed me, but I realised it wasn’t the right time for me to continue on that path. So, I stopped drinking it and returned to my usual routine. However, I now feel like I have a valuable tool at my disposal for the future. I’m definitely interested in trying it consistently for 30 days to see how it goes.

It’s best to remain close to nature and hence nature healing is something you should definitely strive for. A lot about nutrition and its powerful effects on the body was revealed by the green tea experiment mentioned above. More about my observations and experience with nutrition and healing may be found here – observations on diet and healing. But because I’m a holistic man, I’d also advise you to read the book CAN YOU PLAY to strengthen your roots. In this book, I take a deeper look at look at life and its intricacies, which will improve your vitality and quality of life in general
