It is indeed great to see that India has started walking down the health conscious lane. India has become one of the leading markets for health related products especially those pertaining to weight loss. Although different people have different approaches towards weight loss, detoxification remains as one of the most sought methods. Detoxification is the process through which you can get rid of the body toxins without subjecting it to exhaustive routines. Toxins can act as allergens and block or affect several metabolic processes within the body. By detoxifying your body, you can optimize the cellular functions to transform your body into a competent fat burning machine. The effectiveness of a detoxification process can be analyzed by looking at the GM 7 Day Diet that has emerged as one of the fastest ways to lose weight. It strictly adheres to the principles of detoxification. However, following a GM Diet to completion is not everyone’s ball game. This is where Detox Green Teas come to your rescue. These are easy to make, delicious to have, available everywhere, easy on the pocket and super effective to add to it all. Today, we will share with you our list of 10 best Green Teas available in India. Choose the tea that you want and sip your way out of obesity.
