THE WONDERFUL HEALTH BENEFITS OF OOLONG TEA

Weight Loss
Oolong tea contains enzymes that facilitate stored fat metabolism in the body that makes it a natural and gentle remedy for weight loss. It also facilitates thermogenesis or burning of dietary carbohydrates, and by calming the nervous system to decrease anxiety, which can lead to over-eating in some cases. Elevated fat burning with the use of oolong tea also helps to decrease dyslipidemia or high cholesterol levels in the blood

Healthy Skin
The powerful antioxidants in oolong tea also benefit the skin in several ways. These compounds help to remove harmful toxins in the body that damage the skin, causing wrinkles, lines, age spots, sallowness and slowed exfoliation. Oolong tea may also protect the skin from sun and cigarette smoking damage and reduce the risk of allergic skin reactions such as atopic dermatitis

Disease Prevention
Oolong tea is less oxidized than black tea and hence contains higher concentrations of potent antioxidants called polyphenols. It also contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, calcium, potassium, selenium, fluorine, magnesium and phosphorus. These nutrients help to detoxify the body, improve digestion and decrease the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes
