which helps to strengthen the microcirculation fighting water retention and fat, while the
presence of chlorophyll cleanses, rejuvenates and counteracts the metabolic slowdown.

drink in a best way.
The oolong tea can be considered a functional food due to its antioxidant properties. It is a
semi-fermented tea, made like other blacks and green teas from Camellia sinensis. This tea has a
high antioxidant capacity, mainly due to the polyphenols quercetin and Catechins. This tea has
been clinically proved to be highly effective in losing body weight. This property is given by the
discrete content of Catechins and caffeine (also present in large quantities in green tea), which
seem to have a synergistic effect in increasing the body's metabolism and boost fat oxidation.
In particular, a constant consumption of 4-5 cups of unsweetened oolong tea per day for at
least a month allows you to reduce your waist size by 4-6 inches. The regular intake of this drink
also helps to reduce the intestinal absorption of cholesterol.

mainly helpful in fighting the usual weight gain of the time that precedes the onset of
menstruation.

tea. The prolonged infusion (at least 5-7 minutes) of one packet per cup allows to increase the
amount of caffeine and polyphenols of the drink. In studies carried out to investigate the health
properties, this tea was engaged in rather high quantities: from 700 ml to 1 liter and a half a day
(3-7 bags of 2 g / day) for several weeks.
