The Benefits of Chinese Herbal Slimming Tea

Why is the Chinese population one of the slimmest in the world? Recent research has shown that the answer to that question could lie in a cup of Chinese herbal slimming tea! Green tea is known to have originated in China and has been associated with many cultures in Asia. The health benefits of this tea have now been subject to many scientific studies and some evidence even suggests that regular green tea drinkers may have lower instances of heart disease and some forms of cancer.

The health benefits of the Chinese herbal slimming tea are thought to come from the anti-oxidants within the tea. Some studies indicate that because of the polyphenol in the tea, it can quicken the drinker’s metabolism and increases the body’s fat burning capabilities. It can also prevent the drinker’s body from storing up as much fat as it normally would, aiding slimming and dieting when you feel like losing a few pounds!

The other benefits of the Teas are numerous. If you are at all worried about damage that free radicals cause when they are wreaking havoc through your cells then the Chinese herbal slimming tea once again comes to the rescue. Free radicals (as you may know) are cells in your body that continually steal an electron from other passing cells, causing a chain reaction in your body and damaging the cells. Anti-oxidants in the Chinese herbal slimming tea neutralise the chain reaction happening in your body, donating an electron of their own and stopping the reaction. Even minus one of its own electrons the anti-oxidants in the tea are stable, so only do good work in your body.

A study carried out by the University of Birmingham asked its participants to keep their diet exactly the same for 4 weeks and the only modification was to drink 4 cups of Chinese herbal slimming tea per day. The results of the study showed that the tea consumption reduced both the diastolic and systolic blood pressure of those taking part, lowered cholesterol and the participants lost more body fat.

One final benefit that has not been covered in this article already is that a recent study by the Israel Institute of Technology showed that the main extract of Chinese herbal slimming tea, EGCG, helped to protect brain cells in test animals that had been induced with Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s disease. The surprising study also found that EGCG rescued damaged neurons in the brain, restoring them to their former state. Preliminary tests are now being carried out in China on human Parkinson’s disease sufferers.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a way to keep your body & mind healthy reduce your risk of the big 4 and lose some weight all in one cup then Chinese herbal slimming tea is the one cup you can’t afford to pass up!
