Yerba Maté Benefits
Yerba maté tea, particularly the nonsmoked variety, is shown to enhance GLP-1 release, which not only curbs appetite but also promotes the conversion of white fat cells into thermogenic beige and brown fat cells. This process increases metabolic energy expenditure, allowing for greater calorie burning even at rest. The findings highlight a fascinating connection between dietary choices and metabolic health, revealing how simple habits can influence body composition and thermoregulation.In this clip
