A trendy and important social practice that originated with the Guarani Indians in Paraguay and Brazil. This herbal tea is almost an addiction in South America and is becoming popular in the west due to its amazing health benefitsranging from assisting Weight Loss to giving an energy boost to fighting cancer.
Yerba Mate is a type of tea, made from dried leaves and stems. It is much gentler than coffee on the stomach. It contains a compound similar to caffeine called ‘matteina’ and will definitely keep you going!
It is an important, common social practice in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, eastern Chile, southern Bolivia and Brazil. Drinkers in these countries usually share the mate, each taking turns to drink, with one person serving from a flask. Sharing Mate 'mateando' is a time sit and chat with friends and family.
In recent times, scientific research has showna link to the properties of Yerba Mate ( http://UruShop.co.uk ) and its use as a slimming aid. It has been found that Yerba Mate can aid weight loss over a period of around 45 days.
Yerba Mate is a well-known appetite suppressant - after drinking it you just won't fancy any food for a while. If you drink it between meals you will be able to cut out those in between meal snacks easily. In Southern South America where yerba mate is a way of life, lunch is typically at 12pm and the evening meal is usually around 10-11pm. Yerba mate is what keeps everyone going in between.
It contains a wealth of vitamins and minerals. This reduces cravings for junk food – it is chemically satisfying in itself.Yerba Mate reduces the time for your stomach to tell your brain that you are full – prevents over eating, and delays gastric emptying (food moving from the stomach to the intestine) thus making you feel full for longer after eating. Also, it has a stress-reducing/calming effect: helps avoid comfort eating.
Yerba mate contains ‘matteina’ which is a form of caffeine but doesn’t give you the jitters. This gives you an energy boost that means you don’t crave a sugar high to help you get through that workout, or help you last until dinner. This energy boost also gives you the motivation to perhaps get off the sofa and go for a walk, do that DIY that’s been hanging over you for the last month, go shopping, get to the gym….
More recently, yerba mate has become a popular aid to help breakdown carbohydrates more quickly whilst exercising. It acts as a stimulant which increases the speed your body burns fat. It does this by increasing bile flow – the powerful digestive juice used to digest the fat in your diet.
