Oolong tea – A must have to lose weight
If none of those complicated weight reducing diets and food regimens work to lose weight, here’s something that will guarantee it. A power calorie and fat burner, the oolong tea, as you might have guessed, is another treasure from China.
There are several variations in Oolong tea which gives different amount of strength to it as a fat burner. This variation is based on the extent of oxidation that the leaves have undergone which ranges from 10% to 70%. Nevertheless, an addition of a couple of cups of oolong tea to your daily diet is all you need to lose those extra flabs.
The secret to this lies in the polyphenol enzyme in the oolong tea which is also seen as an anti oxidant in green tea. This acts as a powerful regulator of fat metabolism. It specifically increases the metabolism of fat by activating the suitable enzymes required for it and thereby potentially decreasing the fat content in the body.
This is only one of the many ways by which it reduces fat. Oolong tea also effectively blocks excess accumulation of fat in the body and burns the fat that is already been accumulated. This triple action provides an excellent protection against fat accumulation.
This has been a long known fact, but there’s always been an endless debate as to whether oolong tea is as good or better than the green tea. After several research made in China, America and Japan, it was indeed concluded that green tea is perhaps a better and a faster fat burner than the oolong tea. But research has also revealed that regular consumption of oolong tea reduces fat up to 66% and decreases the triglycerides by a whopping 80% ! This indeed a satistfactory result to make oolong tea a must in your diet regime to cut those extra fat.
Oolong tea is also an excellent drink to reduce belly fat and cholesterol. A study made by Aichi Medical University and Nagoya City University in 12 women showed a significant drop in bad cholesterol and reduction in the size of their waist and arms.
There’s more to Oolong tea than this. It also reduces tumors, mutations (though this is not likely to happen to anyone), fights influenza virus and several carcinogenic bacteria.
So go ahead and make sure you drink a couple of cups of them everyday to make your weight loss diet a little more effective.
