Supplementing while on a diet

Vitamin and Herbal Actions
Vitamins and herbs that increase fat metabolism or suppress your appetite may help you lose weight. Thermogenic herbs help your body metabolize fat and use it efficiently, rather than storing it. Herbal appetite suppressants send signals to your brain telling it that you feel full. If you're planning to lose a lot of weight, you should check with your doctor first to make sure your body can handle the metabolic changes that weight loss involves.
-Resveratrol is a nutrient that is known to activate a potent gene signal called SIRT1.

Shrimp, Broth, and Jasmine Tea

If you like flowers, you will love the delicate, floral taste of jasmine tea.

Jasmine tea is a type of scented tea. To make scented tea, tea leaves are mixed with flowers until their perfume has been absorbed. The tea is then baked gently in an oven.
You can scent any kind of tea with jasmine: green, white, oolong or even black. However, the sweet, floral perfume of jasmine flowers tastes best with green tea.
Want to slow down the effects of aging and stay young? The antioxidants in jasmine tea can help protect your body against damage from free radicals.

Free radicals are oxidized molecules that have unpaired electrons. As they circulate through your body, they steal electrons from other molecules to replace the ones they are missing. This process can damage your body's cells. It is associated with the aging process.

Drinking jasmine green tea can help prevent damage from free radicals.

Drinking green tea can help you lose weight. This benefit has been attributed to green tea's synergistic combination of caffeine and antioxidants, especially EGCG.

A high quality jasmine contains the same blend of antioxidants and caffeine as high quality green tea.

It is especially good for dieters because of its naturally sweet taste. Even people who would normally add sugar or honey to their tea often find that they enjoy jasmine tea without it.
Jasmine tea may help you lose fat by helping your body absorb less fat and cholesterol.


In aromatherapy, jasmine essential oil is believed have a tranquilizing effect. Now, scientific research has confirmed that the smell of jasmine does indeed act as a mild sedative.
