Best tea for weight loss: Its properties and benefits
Tea is considered a beverage that promotes weight loss. Typically, we prefer black or green tea, but white tea is definitely worth trying. It helps get rid of belly fat and positively influences the overall health, according to Wprost.
White tea helps with excess kilograms
White tea has several advantages, one of which is its ability to enhance the weight loss process, as the compounds present in this tea help combat unwanted kilograms.
Among other things, consuming white tea protects the body from the accumulation of unnecessary fat tissue and accelerates its burning. It also supports intestinal function and, as a result, ensures proper defecation, which is crucial for those aiming to lose weight.
Additionally, it positively influences the body's detoxification process.
White tea undergoes minimal processing, preserving more natural nutrients than other tea varieties. It also contains ingredients with antioxidant properties that can support overall health and contribute to the weight loss process by keeping the body in good condition.
However, remember that consuming white tea will not lead to sudden weight loss. While it may contribute to the weight loss process, key factors include diet, regular physical activity, and a generally healthy lifestyle.
How to brew white tea
White tea is divided into three main types: Yin Zhen, Chinese White Snow Buds, and Pai Mu Tan. The first should be steeped for about 2 minutes. China White Snow Buds tea should be brewed for about 2-3 minutes, and Pai Mu Tan tea for about 1 minute.
The general rule for brewing white tea is to steep about 1 small teaspoon of dry tea (per cup) for 2-5 minutes. To increase the strength of the infusion, use more leaves without extending the tea brewing time.
This should be done for subsequent infusions (leaves can be reused several times) – each subsequent infusion should last for 60 seconds. To make the tea even more flavorful, you can add, for example, a slice of lemon.
What else to know about white tea
White tea contains less caffeine than green or black tea, but it is still present in its composition, so avoid drinking it shortly before bedtime as it may disrupt sleep. On the other hand, excessive caffeine intake can increase anxiety levels.
In addition, consuming too much white tea may lead to a disturbance in iron absorption by our body, and very strong infusions of white tea can irritate the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
