Lose it with Leptin

Leptin is the name given to a hormone our bodies produce, which is believed to play an important role in controlling our appetite and metabolism. It is thought that those people who produce lower amounts of leptin, or who aren’t as sensitive to it, are more likely to put on weight.

New research has been finding that there appears to be a natural and easy way to increase the effects leptin has on your body through a herb called java, which is traditionally used to create java tea.

The recent studies have shown that extracts from java (Orthosiphon stamineus), on their own or in combination with other extracts, appear to have the ability to help reduce body weight, appetite and fat levels and researchers suggest this is due to the herb enhancing the effects of leptin in our bodies.

Diet tea

These studies support the use of java tea to aid weight loss and there are now numerous java teas available in the UK.

Perhaps one of the more effective tea blends comes from Natur Boutique however. Their ‘Diet Blend’ combines green tea, which is also well known to aid with weight loss, with java tea (40%) to create a double whammy health hit.

The blend also contains Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), which offers a diet friendly sweetness to the tea.

Pregnant and breast feeding women or those with high blood pressure should consult a doctor before using liquorice products.
