oolong-tea

Green tea and black tea are both hailed for their slimming benefits.  But did you know that there’s another brew with more brew that remains relatively unknown to many?  Oolong tea, a cross between black and green tea contains a richer array and concentration of slenderizing antioxidants than any other tea.  Drinking oolong boosts fat and calorie burn by 10 percent.  This is because the tea catechins induce thermogenesis, a process that raises body temperature to speed metabolism.

Here’s more.  The brew’s polyphenol compounds block the absorption of dietary fat and cholesterol by inhibiting the activity of lipose, a fat digesting enzyme.  Experts also discovered that oolong’s polyphenols help steady blood glucose levels after high-carb foods are consumed.  The tea helps curb cravings because that’s the key to avoiding the belly fat and hunger pangs that result from blood sugar spikes.
