Studies of Oolong tea and its beneficial properties have shown that the decoction of this tea reverses aging, promotes weight loss and simply improves well-being.
While all teas have the same health benefits (including caffeine, catechins, polyphenols, and theaflavin), the amounts vary depending on the type of tea. Therefore, the health benefits of Oolong tea, which is semi-fermented, combines the benefits of lightly fermented green tea and highly fermented black tea. The following are scientific studies that prove the health benefits of Oolong tea.
Benefits of oolong tea for weight loss
Scientists have found that people who regularly consume Oolong burn twice as many calories as those who drink green tea.
A study published in the journal Medical Investigation found that women who consumed Oolong immediately after meals increased calorie expenditure by 10%. Green tea showed a result of only 4%.
Researchers at the Suntory Center in Osaka found that eating oolong tea 15 minutes before a meal can reduce insulin production. This will reduce the formation of adipose tissue from eating foods high in carbohydrates.
Improved skin condition
Researchers at Japan's Shiga University of Medical Sciences have found that drinking Oolong tea daily for a month helps resolve skin problems.
Free radicals damage the elements in the body that fight the aging process. This contributes to the formation of wrinkles and dark spots caused by UV rays, pollution and stress. Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto and his colleagues at the University of California found that people who consumed Oolong daily had reduced free radicals in as little as 15 days.
Healthy teeth
A study conducted by the Department of Dentistry at Osaka University in Japan proved that regular consumption of Oolong tea strengthens teeth. It also helps to prevent the destruction of enamel, prevents the formation of plaque.
Strengthening the immune system
According to research published in the journal Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, those who consumed oolong tea had stronger immune systems and were less susceptible to infections.
