“Tea” may not try it, but it should (unless you come from South America) | Written by Edgar Terry Danielian July, 2025

If you enjoy tea or coffee, you may want to explore Yerba Matti – A traditional type of “tea” in South America that combines the best in the two worlds, and provides an unusual flavor and a number of useful health benefits, and most importantly for those who are trying to lose weight.

clarity “Yer-Bah Mah-TEH,” The Yerba colleague was prepared by decline to the chopped dried leaves from Iex paraguariensis Plant in hot water – just like a loose cup of tea.

In terms of composition, however, Yerba Mate is more prominent than good old tea. Like coffee, it contains caffeine – although it is a little less – which provides a gentle energy elevator that many describe as more balanced and less likely to cause forgery or sudden crash often associated with strong coffee.

The standard coffee cup is generally made between 80 and 120 mg of caffeine, while Yerba Mate offers approximately 30 to 50 mg per meal, making it an excellent medium floor for those looking for vigilance without exaggeration.

But caffeine is only part of the story: Yerba’s colleague also contains theoprumin (“Desb Anat”), a stimulant found in chocolate that can enhance a nice feeling of luxury and smooth the effects of caffeine. In addition, they are rich in antioxidants, including polyphenols and sabonin, which have anti -inflammatory properties and cholesterol supply.

Coffee is characterized by its antioxidant profile, but Yerba Matti provides a wide range of micro nuts, including vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, vitamin C and minerals such as magnesium, potassium and manganese, making it an unusual hot drink.

One of the most interesting aspects of Yerba’s colleague lies in its effect on the GLP-1 (the glucagon-like peptide), a hormone that plays a decisive role in controlling appetite and regulating blood sugar levels. The high GLP-1 can increase the feelings of satiety, reduce eating in general and support your efforts to lose extra weight.

Unlike the GLP-1 pharmaceutical alerts-such as the Ozambean medication described for diabetes and weight loss, which has recently become a large-scale JLP-1 colleague without the serious side effects (Cooper-Leavitt Et, Shin MJ, Beus CG, Chiu At, Parker G, Radford JH, Evans Ep, Edwards IT, Arroyo Ja, Reynolds PR, Et Al. The effect of the tonsils for Yerba Maté (IEX Paraguariensis) is partially dependent on the intestinal metabolism of Ferolic acid. Nutrients. 2025; 17 (4): 625).

Some studies indicate medications such as OzemPIC double The risk of depression and suicidal ideas, which makes it a worrying option for many people. In contrast, Yerba Mate offers a gentle way to increase GLP-1 levels and control of appetite.

As I recently discovered, Yerba Mate is a great alternative to tea or coffee, combining stimulant coffee properties with gentle feeding of herbal payments. I have now added it to my hot drink cabinet, where it joins coffee, Earl Gray and Sabaqa.
