oolong tea (food supplement)
Oolong Tea, also sometimes spelled as Wu Long Tea, comes from the camellia sinensis plant that is the source of all true teas. However, oolong tea undergoes some degree of oxidation or fermentation that consequently places it between the green and black tea varieties. Oolong tea ranges from 10% to 70% oxidation.
Many of the health benefits of oolong tea are similar to those of green tea. Though the degree of oxidation somewhat trims down some of its health benefits, oolong tea is nevertheless still one of the healthiest beverage you can enjoy as it also contains the polyphenols that act as antioxidants against free radicals in the body.
Some of oolong tea health benefits are as follows:
- Oolong Tea may help reduce cholesterol build-up in the bloodstream.
- Oolong Tea may help burn fat and thus, may contribute to slimming.
- Oolong Tea can help prevent heart ailments.
- Oolong Tea can be used for treatment of digestive disorders.
- Oolong Tea can promote longevity by stimulating bodily functions and strengthening the immune system.
- Oolong Tea may promote healthier and stronger bones, protecting people from such diseases as osteoporosis.
