White Tea and Weight Loss?

By
In a culture where appearances are everything and obesity is at an all time high, can the solution really be as easy a drinking tea? Perhaps drinking tea really can affect weight loss. Researchers have been done on human fat cells, showing a significant decline when treated with plant chemicals from white tea. The research proved a decrease in the development of new fat cells and the prompting of the break down of existing fat cells. The two ingredients in the white tea that does this are the
caffeine and the plant chemicals, known as EGCG.

This tea comes from the same plant used to make black and green teas, the Camilla Sinensis. The difference between the teas is the length of processing. White-tea is less processed and is considered a specialty product in the Chinese Fujian province. Because white-tea is less processed than others, it has an abundance of natural compounds that are thought to actively impact human fat cells. White teas are classified in five different grades: Bao Hao Yinzhen (Silver Needle), Bai Mu Dan (White Pony), Ging Mei (Tribute Eyebrow), Shou Mei (Noble, Long Life Eyebrow), and White Puerh Tea.

When brewing white tea, you should use 2-3 grams of leaves per 6 ounces of water. White-teas are sweet and light in taste and should be prepared in water that is below the boiling point. While this tea can decrease fat cells, you should still maintain healthy eating and exercising. White-tea, simply, helps in the process. Traditional white-tea should be 100% buds for it to be affective in weight loss. This natural slimming substance can affect obesity-associated disorders, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, as well. The caffeine and EGCG are, also, present in green and black teas, however white-tea does have less caffeine than the others.

Finding 100% white tea is hard to find but can, generally, be ordered online.
