Conversation piece: Jameela Jamil's social media outrage over detox teas
See the original article here.
There are lots of tea products on the market that are sold under the "detox" label. While tea touts many health benefits (some scientifically proven and others not), these types of labels have become problematic because of the influence they have over people and their health, especially younger teen audiences.
Tea holds a lot of traditional weight and is anything but a fad diet trend or "quick fix" for stress management and weight loss goals. The simple ritual of brewing tea is meant to be mindful and intentional. Tea has held a significant role in countries all over the world for thousands of years, starting as a medicinal beverage and evolving as an everyday necessity. Enjoy the tea for its benefits as well as its history and remember that life is a balance- exercise, eat good food, meditate, and drink tea consistently to feel healthy! And of course, always consult your doctor with health concerns- they're the pros.
Cheers!
