Oprah and Rachel Ray were among the first celebrities to endorse the fact that Chinese women have known and lived for hundreds of years. Studies have verified that drinking Wu Yi tea increases the rate of fat burn and aids in weight loss. Further research has borne out that it strengthens one's immune system and even reverses the aging effect that others experience.
Quite wondrous discoveries show that Wuyi diet tea burns 2.5 times more calories than just drinking green tea. Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea that is also popular in Japan and a recent study over a 6 week period of time showed that Wu-Yi tea led to body weight reduction.
There are multitudinous ways to spice up you Wu-Yi teabag. One can let it steep in boiling water until the desired strength is reached. Adding lemon slices, lime, honey and a cinnamon stick can give a appealing savory twist to the original.
Chilling your tea drink and serving it with carbonated water and a hint of fruit juice in a margarita glass may even work for you. Many garnish their glass with a pineapple or lemon to make this incredible drink look tropical.
Naturally, if you are looking for weight reduction, you need to pay attention to everything you eat. Basic guidelines are to snack on vegetables low on the Glycemic Index Food List and fill up on fiber. Be sure to maintain a balance between proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Processed foods have been altered from their natural state. A lot of processed foods are made with trans fats, saturated fats, and large amounts of sodium and sugar. Look for products that are made with whole grains and that are low in sodium and calories, and free of trans fats.
Avoid soda, alcoholic beverages and full fat milk, drinking instead water and tea. Cut out sugar and cream from your tea or coffee. If you absolutely need cream, use a fat-free dairy substitute. Unsweetened apple juice, pineapple juice, grape and carrot type juices are fine in moderation.
Avoid large portions of food. Instead eat smaller meals, preferably 5 a day. Bypass eating late at night since a full belly doesn't allow your body to burn stored carbohydrates. You're body is a spectacular fat burning machine is you keep the belly empty 3 hours before you turn in.
