Does Wu Yi Tea Really Work To Promote Weight Loss?

By: Berker Ediz Home |


By now, you've almost certainly heard of Wu Yi tea, especially in regards to its ability to help you lose weight. Does Wu Yi tea really work to make you lose those extra pounds? We'll answer that question in this article and look more closely at this ancient tea which has been making inroads as a sort of natural weight loss supplement as of late and look into whether drinking Wu Yi tea for weight loss is something which can really work.

Happily, the answer to this question is yes. When you drink Wu Yi tea regularly, it can help you to lose weight - but it needs to be combined with a good diet and regular exercise to produce the best effect. You have to remember that Wu Yi tea is not some kind of panacea for weight loss (and if someone tries to tell you that Wu Yi tea really works to make you thinner in three days or some similar wild claim, they aren't being straight with you). However, Wu Yi tea can give you the edge you need to take your weight loss efforts to the next level and better yet, keep those extra pounds off.

So how does Wu Yi tea work to help dieters get towards their weight loss and fitness goals? First, let's learn a little about this tea and where it comes from. All tea (except for herbal teas) come from the same plant, the Camellia Sinensis plant. The difference between different types of tea has to do with where it was grown and how the tea is processed after being picked. Wu Yi tea is actually a type of Oolong tea which gets its name from where it is grown - on and near Mount Wu Yi in southern China. It is thought that the rich soils of this region contribute to the high mineral content of this tea.

It is the soil in which this tea is grown as well as the drying and fermentation Wu Yi tea undergoes which make it so special. All tea contains compounds known as polyphenols which are believed to be responsible for the weight loss properties of the tea. The processing of Wu Yi tea leaves its polyphenol content intact - meaning that this tea has more polyphenols than any other type of tea available.

Wu Yi tea's ingredients include small amounts of caffeine, as do all teas. This provides a small temporary boost to your metabolism, helping you to burn off calories at a higher rate. However, the amount of caffeine contained in Wu Yi tea is relatively low; it is also the polyphenols in WU Yi tea which increase the metabolism.

A study conducted at a Japanese medical school measured the energy expenditure of subjects (measured in calories) after drinking either water, green tea or oolong tea (like Wu Yi tea). The subjects in this study who drank oolong tea burned off 10% more calories than those who drank only water - the rate of energy expenditure was even higher in the first hour or so after drinking the tea. You may want to have a cup of Wu Yi before your next workout to increase the number of calories burned!

Studies done all over Asia, Europe and the US have established that Wu Yi tea really works to promote weight loss. Every study has shown the same thing - drinking Wu Yi tea for weight loss on a regular basis helps people not only to lose weight, but to keep it off!

So why does Wu Yi tea work better than regular Oolong tea? While all Oolong tea contains a lot of polyphenols, Wu Yi tea is an especially good source for these natural weight loss compounds;;but how do the polyphenols in Wu Yi tea work to produce this weight loss effect?

As it happens, polyphenols signal your body to start producing enzymes which break down energy stored as fat - this process is called lipolysis. Wu Yi tea works because it used your body's own natural fat burning processes to help you lose weight - all without the harmful side effects of the chemically produced diet pills on the market. If youve been in search of a safe, natural way to lose weight or to maintain a healthy weight, Wu Yi tea is an excellent choice. Wu Yi tea really works to help you lose weight " it wont happen overnight, but anything worth having is worth waiting for; and since this tea is so delicious, youll want to drink it every day.
