Helba seeds. How to take for weight loss
Helba seeds for weight loss can be consumed in several ways. Which one to choose depends entirely on preference and individual tolerance.
Helba seed tea has a rich, spicy taste and not everyone can drink this drink in the concentration and recommended volume suggested in the recipe. If this happens, start treatment by drinking tea of a weaker concentration or dilute the ready-made drink with a little water. You can also initially drink less decoction/infusion per dose and during the day than recommended. Then, when you get used to it, gradually increase both the concentration and the amount of tea you drink per day.
The first three ways to take helba seeds for weight loss, given below, involve taking the product itself. A positive point here is the consumption of fiber, which is contained in the seeds and plays a great healing and cleansing role on the body.
Helba seeds or tea made from them are recommended to be consumed warm in the morning on an empty stomach, an hour before each meal or two hours after.
It is important to note here that helba seeds taken on an empty stomach often have a laxative effect, which is used by those who suffer from constipation. If you have a weak stomach or the laxative effect is strong, then either reduce the concentration or volume of the drink or take the product after meals.
Nutritionists recommend taking helba seeds for weight loss 2-3 times a day. The number of doses can be increased, but be careful and monitor your well-being, because more does not mean better.
The course of treatment is usually 1 month and can be continued if necessary. But it is better to give the body a rest and to consolidate the achieved effect or to continue losing weight, repeat the course in a few months.

I suggest watching the video of what doctors say about Helba.
Tea or not tea? That is the question
Helba is called tea throughout the world, but this is not entirely true. I remember very well the time when at the bazaar in Sharm el-Sheikh they brought me yellow grains, very similar to either pebbles or millet.
Imagine my surprise, because I expected to see dried twigs and leaves! Have you tried this rocky tea?
Before I tell you how to take this product, I want to say a few words about storage principles. The fact is that Helba is very demanding regarding the conditions of its maintenance.
It is able to quickly absorb foreign odors. Therefore, it is best to store fenugreek in an airtight tin container, away from spices and seasonings.
Important! In order for the plant seeds to fully reveal their beneficial qualities, it is advisable to grind them. Before doing this, you should rinse and dry the seeds well.
