Hoodia Tea:How Effective Is it? 

For thousands of years, ancient peoples across the globe have depended on herbs and spices for healing. From the Far East to Old Europe, people steeped them in hot water, sipping the healing brew that many of which we drink today. Dried extracts of hoodia stems and roots, used first by San Bushmen in the Kalahari desert for centuries, are used to make capsules, powders, and chewable tablets. Hoodia can also be used in liquid extracts and teas. Hoodia products often contain other herbs or minerals, such as green tea or chromium picolinate.

Hoodia Teas are steeped in water and then drank for use as an aid in weight loss. Usually found blended with other supplements, Hoodia teas can be found mostly with green teas. Hoodia eliminates your desire to eat, by effecting the part of your brain that is responsible for hunger, and it basically tricks you into thinking that you are full. Green tea on the other hand works in a different manner. The active ingredients in green teas are responsible for making a body burn stored fat and then increasing the body's energy level due to stored calories turning into fuel. At the same time green tea blocks fat and carbohydrate absorption by limiting selective digestive enzymes and forces the body to let the fats and carbohydrates pass right on through. It is recommended that a person have two or three steeped cups a day between meals or when you experience cravings. Due to its liquid form, it is expected to give immediate difference in the frequency and desire to snack or eat in general allowing a reduction of food intake. To enhance the weight loss program exercise is recommended for best results.
