Weight Loss Lemonade
Ingredients: Green Tea, Kelp, Oolong and Acai
Green Tea - Contains high levels of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which is a type of antioxidant. EGCG increases thermogensis, the rate at which energy in the form of calories is converted into heat, by affecting enzymes in the metabolic process. This means consumption of green tea makes the human body burn calories at a slightly higher rate, aiding weight loss. If energy in the form of calories from food is burned, it's not stored on the body as fat. So with a higher rate of calorie burning, fewer calories are stored in the body as fat. Green Tea also contains caffeine, which also increases thermogenesis. This means the effect of drinking green tea is a higher rate of metabolism from different two chemical components.
Kelp - Is believed to stimulate a thyroid hormone which is responsible for boosting metabolism. Kelp also contains alkali. Alkali is important to the body for it to maintain a proper pH balance which is essential for ideal function. When your body is balanced, your metabolism and digestion are more likely to work at optimal levels.
Oolong - Increases in the fat burning process, and actually blocks fat absorption at the same time.
Acai - Is filled with vitamins and minerals that can aid in weight loss, building muscle and increasing overall energy-and is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, fiber and other plant compounds that can increase your health.

Health benefits of Lemons:
Lemon juice, when taken regularly in the morning, acts as a tonic to the liver and stimulates it to produce bile making it ready to digest the day's food. It is also thought to help dissolve gallstones. Because of its high vitamin C content, it is thought to help prevent and treat many infections, hasten wound healing and temper down high fever. Lemon juice also relieves symptoms of asthma, tonsillitis and sore throat.
It also helps speed up weight loss. Drinking water with lemon for weight loss is also an effective way to help eliminate toxins, clean internal waste, and promote energy.
