Which is the healthiest way to loose weight?
Studies have shown that drinking tea plant regularly can boost your metabolism and support weight loss in the healthiest way.
The tea plant, called the Camellia sinensis, is native to mainland of South and Southeast Asia as China, Japan, India, Taiwan and Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
The traditional teas, those made from Camellia sinensis plant, can be categorized into: white, green, oolong and black, depending on how the leaves are processed and oxidized
Oxidation (also called fermentation) determines category and flavor.
Oxidation is a natural process (oxygen will react with the plant’s enzymes) that changes the color and flavor of the leaf. Green and white teas are unoxidized, the oolong tea is partially oxidized, black tea is fully oxidized.

1. White Tea
White Tea, as per experts, has the highest antioxidant content and lowest caffeine level of all true teas, due to its unique processing and season of harvest. This tea also contains stress-relieving, mood-lifting properties.
2. Green Tea
Green tea is one of the most effective teas when it comes to weight loss and good health. This is because green tea extract is high in catechins, a type of antioxidant that improves your metabolism and increases the burning of belly fat. It’s also rich in EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) one of nature’s most potent antioxidants.
3. Oolong Tea
Oolong tea contains a mixture of polyphenols such as catechins (green tea) and theaflavins (black tea). This tea is partially oxidized having a bolder flavor than green tea and a milder than black tea. Like these other tea varieties, oolong also provides caffeine and may promote weight loss.
4. Black Tea
Black tea is made from leaves of the same plant from which green tea is made: Camellia sinensis. The big difference is how it’s processed, so the leaves are exposed to air longer than other teas allowing to oxidize into a dark brown color. As per experts black tea may offer weight loss benefits.
