Detoxing with green tea of HUG THE TEA! The perfect detox drink, but what does detoxing actually mean? And what makes detoxing so important? In this blog we discuss about detoxing and we will share our greatest discoveries about the special healt effects of green tea (especially matcha)!

What does detoxing actually comprehends?

Detoxing, also called cleansing, is a term used to clean your body of waste and toxins. Your body is exposed daily to all kinds of toxins. This happens sometimes consciously, but mostly unconsciously. We breathe in exhaust fumes, eating processed foods, use cosmetics, and plastic and aluminum utensils. Your body cleans itself naturally by, inter alia, in the liver, kidneys, intestines to filter waste and then drain through the feces, urine and perspiration. This natural “waste disposal system” was very effective thousands of years ago when humans lived close to nature and ate no processed foods and inhaled no exhaust fumes, but today we are in so many harmful substances that our body is no longer capable of that huge quantity harmful substances to drain quickly (and effective). Thereby leading our current eating habits means that we get too few vitamins and minerals, which the liver so badly needed to cleanse the body. Many processed foods contain a lot of preservatives and fragrances, colorings and flavorings. In addition, many fresh fruits and vegetables have much less nutrients than fifty years ago, due to modern farming methods (inter alia, soil depletion and unilateral artificial fertilization). This makes we should eat more fruits and vegetables to get our daily requirement of vitamins and minerals, but that’s not that easy!

What makes detoxing so important?

When your body lacks certain vitamins and minerals, your body will be replaced with those that are occurring substances, and these are often toxic substances. Your body itself protects against toxins, but many years of accumulation of toxic in fat cells in combination with vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause all kinds of symptoms that your body can ultimately make quite ill. Common ailments that are the results of excess toxins in your body:

1. Fatigue and lethargy
2. Digestive problems (constipation, diarrhea, cramps)
3. Delayed fat burning and weight gain painful joints
4. Irritability and depression
5. Elevated blood sugar
6. Fungal infections (such as candida)
7. Menstrual problems and infertility
8. Pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, pre-eclampsia and premature birth

The doctors gave me last year only 6 months, but now one year later, I feel physically well and the situation is stable even though I’m not having chemotherapy  anymore. I have also red several studies about the anti-cancer effect of matcha”

Since I almost drink Matcha and other green teas daily, I no longer suffer from bloating. In addition, I feel less stuffy and more energetic! When I have had a party and the next morning drink a matcha, it really works for a hangover / brackish feeling. The anti-hangover teashot! Perfect!

Claire:

Since I drink green tea (also Matcha) almost every day, I have no stomach and intestinal complaints. I have had several investigations in the hospital and tried everything (think about the dirty fiber bags), but since I started with the organic green teas of HTT, I noticed a difference within 2 weeks and my complaints are all gone now! I’m so thankful and happy with it!
