WHAT OUR BODIES NEED MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT

When we wake up, our cortisol levels are high which should give us the boost to bounce out of bed and approach the day with determination and energy. But they soon start to level off. Eat a big lunch, and our energy levels spike then slump. We may find ourselves dragging on determindly until bedtime via snacks and caffeine. This is physically and mentally exhausting.

The Tea Bird Tea Bikini 21 Teatoxing Diet encourages us to think strategically about what our body needs at which point in the day and nourish it appropriately for optimum performance.

Low caffeine Oolong can help perk us up in the morning, Ginger Snap and Vanilla Rooibus keep us going through noon by providing guilt-free sweet treats, while avoiding the slump. Firecracker aids muscle recovery after a workout, and can help replenish energy. Moroccan Mint and Colon Cleanse not only beat the evening burnout but also assist the mind and the colon in preparation for rest and sleep at night. We can easily work these teas in to our transition rituals between home and work, and back home again at the end of the day.

Our bodies need nutrients, vitamins, minerals and water for good health and proper functioning. Amazingly, the human body is capable of producing thousands of nutrients that it needs to sustain its own life. The nutrients that the body manufactures itself are known as “nonessential” nutrients because the body is able to actually produce those nutrients itself, and it's not essential that you go out and get those nutrients from the food you eat.

• Nonessential nutrients: The nutrients manufactured by our body that we do not need to get from the food we eat. 

• Essential nutrients: the nutrients we must get from our diet (e.g. water, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals) There is not a single carbohydrate that is essential to the human diet... not sugar... not starch... not fibre. Carbohydrates do not provide any nutritional benefit to the human body—none whatsoever. Lowering carbs is one method for helping us to reach our goal weight.

The Tea Bird Tea Bikini 21 Teatoxing Diet is about maximizing the nutrients that we do need while restricting those that we do not. Really, it is all about eating the right foods in the right quantities at the right time. When done correctly, we are able to put our body into a 24/7 fat burning mode.
