Health and Weight Loss Benefits of The Shrinker

The foundation ingredient ofSIP THE SHRINKERis a beloved Chinese tea calledOOLONGor WU-LONG. In ancient Chinese books it is regarded as an elixir which contributed to prolonged life. It is known as having the richest and most complex flavor among all the varieties of tea.

Here is an embarrassingly modest list of just a few ofOOLONG‘s wonders:

• OOLONGprevents obesity and is powerfully active in burning fat. Research shows that the polyphenols that are highest inOOLONGtea, help activate thermogenesis which increases fat oxidation in your body. Scientists from the University of Tokushima found thatOOLONGtea can double the amount of fat excreted by the body. He reported that two cups ofOOLONGtea burned over 157% more fat than those who drank the same amount of green tea!!! Just one cup can help burn off an extra 67 calories. Yeah!!!!!

• OOLONGlowers blood sugar levels and can be an effective treatment for diabetics. A Taiwanese study found thatOOLONGtea controls blood glucose levels very effectively. The thorough study showed that plasma glucose and fructosamine levels dropped significantly forOOLONGtea drinkers. If I went through even a shortened list ofOOLONGtea’s benefits one by one I’d keep you here for hours of reading so I am going to shove a few together.

• OOLONGimproves vitality… prolongs lifespan… combats the aging of skin… treats eczema and rashes… prevents heart disease and cancer… reduces high blood pressure… it’s a physical and mental stress reliever… strengthens teeth and prevents tooth decay… improves brain power… you get the picture. Best of all it makes a scrumptious drink called the“SHRINKER”and you get all these extras and more thrown in for good measure.

• OOLONGcontains antioxidants that powerfully destroy free radicals. Research conducted by Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto from the university of California, showed that only 15 days ofOOLONGtea drinking enabled an incredible 50% reduction in free radicals.

• Another study conducted by the academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Fujian Province concluded that stress levels reduced significantly with four servings ofOOLONGeach day for a week.SIPTHE SHRINKERcontains four servings ofOOLONG. Hey, Mama! You may be only one week away from a more “calm” you.

Even thoughOOLONGis the main superstar of this recipe, the other co-star ingredients were carefully chosen by moi. They not only harmonize perfectly for taste enhancement, but they too help optimize fat loss, rev the metabolism, and provide extremely high antioxidant, nutrient, and anti- inflammatory properties. This drink is simple and inexpensive, but will provide more mineralizing “mojo” than some expensive, hoity-toity health tonic from the health food store.

Let me say just a small little tiddly bit aboutCINNAMON, the co-star.

• CINNAMONregulates blood sugar. It slows the rate at which the stomach empties after meals. It not only stimulates insulin receptors, but also inhibits an enzyme that inactivates them so it creates more ability to use glucose. It only takes a scant half teaspoon to reduce blood sugar levels and that is easily provided in theSHRINKER… yay, for us!

• CINNAMONreduces LDL cholesterol… it contains effective anti-infectious compounds against dangerous pathogens.

• CINNAMONis also highly anti-inflammatory and reduces cytokines linked to arthritic pain. It also reduces chronic inflammation linked with neurological disorders.

• CINNAMONreduces the proliferation of cancer cells. Research by Dr. P. Zoladz found that just smelling the wonderful odor of cinnamon improves brain activity.

• It is effective for menstrual pain and infertility. This is becauseCINNAMONcontains a natural chemical called cinnamaldehyde, which studies show increases the hormone progesterone in woman.

• CINNAMONis also a natural food preservative. It is such a powerful antioxidant that it prevents oxidation more effectively than the chemical food preservatives BHT and BHA.

And, you might be asking why in the world is thereCAYENNE PEPPERin this drink?! Well,read on about the benefits ofHOT PEPPERSand I’m betting you’ll want to get a little of the fire under you.

• THERMOGENIC FOOD – This meansCAYENNE PEPPERwillraise the temperature of your body and ignite your metabolism to burn more body fat.HOT PEPPERSburn up fat by consuming energy (calories). They increase your body’s heat production and oxygen consumption for about 20 minutes after eating, which means you are in a more calorie burning, instead of calorie storing mode during and post mealtime.

• APPETITE SUPPRESSANT – Not only do they put a fire within your metabolism, but they also reduce the body’s desire to over eat. They give a natural satiety to the mind and body.

• FIGHT PROSTATE CANCER –REDPEPPERSare richly endowed with a carotenoid called lycopene. This helps prevent prostate cancer and other cancers like those of the bladder, cervix and the pancreas. The capsaicin in hot peppers drives prostate cancer cells to kill themselves. These cancer cells literally commit suicide. Let’s be hot, saucy, helpful wives and give our hubbies plenty of this stuff at meal times to help protect them from this rampant disease. If you have a husband who has a tender palate and does not like spice, then you can help protect his prostate by suggesting he take cayenne pepper in a supplement form. A capsule does not break down until it is in parts of the body that will not burn like the opposite of heaven! Supplementing with mega dosePEPPER, in this form, has been documented as successful at reversing prostate cancer! Say “hooray!“, for a hot and saucy papa with a healthy prostate!

• DIGESTIVE AID – Despite the wives’ tales,HOT PEPPERSare a not a cause, but actually a cure for stomach ulcers. They help kill bacteria in the stomach that can lead to ulcers. Yale University reported a close association with a much lower incidence of stomach cancer in Mexican workers who ate anywhere from 9 to 25 jalepeños a day than in the rest of the population. They are also a powerful gastric relief.

• RELIEVE PAIN – The heat fromPEPPERScome from capsaicin which predominates in the membranes and seeds of the hot pods. Capsaicin is extremely effective for relieving and preventing cluster, migraine, and sinus headaches. Capsaicin suppresses substance P production which is the body’s main mechanism for producing swelling and pain.

• POTENT ANTI-INFLAMMATORY –HOT PEPPERSfight chronic, sub-clinical inflammation. They reduce inflammation like that found in arthritis and asthma.

• FIGHT INFECTION – Capsaicin possesses powerful antibacterial properties. It fights and prevents chronic sinus infections (sinusitis). This natural chemical will clear out congested nasal passages like nothing else.

• BURSTING WITH ANTIOXIDANTS, CARATENOIDS, MINERALS AND VITAMINS –PEPPERSare rich in vitamins A and C, which aid in preventing cell damage, cancer, and diseases relating to aging, plus they are immune boosting. People talk about oranges being high in vitamin C, but did you know thatHOTgreenPEPPERScontain the highest amount of vitamin C out of all foods? In just half a cup you receive 303% of your daily allowance! Vitamin K abounds in peppers which promotes proper blood clotting, strengthens the bones, and helps protect cells from oxidative damage. You will also receive a good amount of potassium and folic acid if you addPEPPERSto your meals. Beta-cryptoxanthin, another carotenoid inPEPPERS,prevents lung cancer – related to smoking and the inhalation of second hand smoke.

• PROMOTE HEALTHY LIPID PROFILES – Capsaicin decreases bad cholesterol and triglycerides. Vitamin K and other goodies inside the incrediblePEPPER pod aid in the dissolution of fibrin, which is a necessary component for blood clots. Capsaicin strengthens blood vessels and aids in their ability to adjust to fluctuations in our blood pressure.
