Green tea also contains polysaccharides which regulate blood sugar levels and control food cravings. This tea can also suppress appetite and prevents frequent eating. But this can not be an overnight solution. Please follow a three-prong approach to losing body weight, i.e healthy diet, regular exercise and drinking green tea regularly!

Cardamom helps to normalise Kapha dosha and aids in weight loss.
