After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage on earth. So, can tea actually help you lose weight and achieve your ideal body?
It is easy to incorporate tea into your diet. In fact, one of the best thing about Chinese weight loss tea is that you are adding something rather than subtracting something from your diet.
The Chinese weight loss tea works by acting as a metabolic stimulant. It helps your body to burn more calories and fats by increasing bodily functions. Because it has only four calories a serving, you will not be gaining any weight when you drink tea of any kind. However, when you drink Chinese weight loss tea, you take in phenols which helps to burn fat and decrease blood cholesterol levels.
Chinese tea that helps you lose weight will have up to 70 percent oxidation. This speeds up your metabolism and activates enzymes to let you burn fat.
If you are drinking Chinese tea with the intention of loosing weight, you must drink it at least two times a day. The rest of your diet should be healthy as well. You should include some physical activity in your daily regime as well.
Tea must be grown in a region which receives at least 50 inches of water per year. Tea has a growth phase and a dormant phase. When the new tea shoots emerge as the weather begins to warm, the plant can be harvested. All types of tea comes from the same plant and is harvested in the same way.
But it is the drying process that gives some teas their special weight loss effects. There are some teas that are dried for up to 100 years! (That is long term planning!)
Most of the tea plant evaporates in the drying process. Most of the time, the drying process involves baking the tea leaves.
After the tea is dried, there may be a final process known as curing which gives tea its great flavor.
Chinese weight loss tea is oxidized for two to three days and is known as blue tea or semi-oxidized tea. It tends to taste more like green tea than black tea.
Chinese weight loss tea is best prepared with very warm, but not boiling, water. You can brew this tea several times from the same leaves. The taste actually improves with each brewing. It is common to steep the tea up to five times and the consensus is the third brewing is best.
If you want to get skinny, one of the tools at your disposal is Chinese weight loss tea.
