xt-align: center;">Weight Loss with Oolong Tea

 


We have heard the benefits of green drinking and the easy slim teas and other concoctions that have made their way in to the weight loss market .Another entrant from the Chinese gardens is the Oolong Tea which is known to be more beneficial than the regular Green tea.
 
 The Chinese have long believed that oolong tea is beneficial in reducing and maintaining weight. A Chinese study, in 1998, of 102 females showed that continuous consumption of oolong tea for six weeks resulted in a reduction of body weight. This study, along with the question of other compounds contributing to tea's weight loss benefits, spurred further research.

While green tea gets most of the limelight when it comes to healthy teas, oolong actually contains larger quantities of the polyphenols that aid in weight loss. A study, conducted by the U.S. Agriculture Research Services Diet and Human Laboratory, showed individuals who drank oolong tea burned 67 more calories per day than groups who drank caffeinated water, half strength oolong tea or non-caffeinated water.
 
The oolong tea in now available all over the world except that it is a bit expensive, but that should not deter you from trying and benefiting from it.
