Oolong (wulong) is a very popular tea in many Asian
countries like China and Japan. One of the major reasons why the people in
leaving in those countries have such a tea is that they believe that by
consuming that tea, they can lose weight. Like other kinds such as green tea
and Chinese tea, even Oolong can effectively help in losing weight. There are
many reasons as to why we can understand that Oolong tea is helpful in shedding
weight.
The Oolong tea belongs to a plant called Camelia
Sinesis which is the same plant from which green tea and black tea is taken.
Camelia Sensis is well-known for its antioxidants. The major difference between
these three kinds of tea is the time taken to process and ferment. It does not
take much time to process the green tea. Hence, it retains the green color. The
process period of black tea is the longest and because of this it loses its
green color. On the other hand, the oolong tea falls between these two kinds of
tea as far as processing are concerned.
Oolong is also known as Wu long tea. It is been
observed that regular drinking of oolong tea helps in enhancing the metabolism
system of your body. When the metabolic activity increases, your body can burn
calories and fats faster. Asian people love to drink this tea while they have
oily food because it helps in neutralizing the effect of oil present in the
food.
A research was conducted by the University of
Tokushima on wulong tea. Over a period of seventeen days, twelve adults were
asked to drink the oolong tea. It was noticed that people who were administered
placebo in the excretion of fat was considerably less than people who were
asked to drink oolong. It was also observed by other researchers that it can
effectively help in lowering the level of cholesterol.
As compared to green, wulong tea is not very popular.
However, recently scientists have claimed that the nutrition value of oolong is
much more than the regular green tea. It has the power to burn near three times
more calories. From thousands of years, the Asians have realized the health
benefits of wulong teas.
Oolong tea and weight lose go hand in hand.
The taste of the oolong tea may not suit you at
first. However, when you realize its health benefits other than weight loss,
you will keep on drinking it. Apart from helping to shed weight, oolong tea
also promotes health and supple skin. If you are suffering from atopic
dermatitis or other skin condition such as eczema, by drinking wulong teas, you
will see a gradual change in your skin. A research was conducted to see the
effects of oolong teas on skin. It was observed that nearly 50 percent people
on whom the test was conducted showed visible signs of better skin. If you feel
that your skin is ageing at a faster rate, then you should drink oolong tea as
to slow down the speed of ageing of skin.
Since wulong undergoes less processing as compared to
any other tea, it retains higher amounts of antioxidants. Antioxidants are very
important for strengthening our immune system. It improves the circulation of
blood throughout the body. Since oolong is a rich source of antioxidants, it
will keep you healthy and strong.
