What are the benefits of Oolong tea?

Oolong tea, also known as green tea, is a semi-fermented tea and one of the six major types of tea in China. It is mainly produced in Fujian Province, Taiwan Province and Guangdong Province. Oolong tea combines the methods of black tea and green tea. The tea is between black tea and green tea. So what are the effects of oolong tea?

Oolong tea benefits:

1. Drinking oolong tea can enhance the function of protein-like lipase.

In other words, it is not that oolong tea itself can dissolve fat, but it can increase the enzyme that breaks down fat, so after drinking oolong tea, the amount of fat metabolism is relatively increased. Some experts also conducted an experiment on 102 obese adults drinking oolong tea, and their waist circumference, abdominal subcutaneous fat, blood neutral fat, and total blood cholesterol showed a significant trend of reduction, which is also the effect of oolong tea polyphenols.

2. Oolong tea eliminates active oxygen that harms beauty and health:

There is an enzyme called SOD in the human body that can decompose active oxygen. This enzyme is an indispensable substance for maintaining health and beauty. The polyphenols in oolong tea have the same function as SOD and can promote and enhance the function of SOD in eliminating active oxygen.

We all know that skin growth requires vitamin C. If active oxygen is produced, vitamin C will be consumed. The antioxidant effect of oolong tea polyphenols can eliminate active oxygen and inhibit the consumption of vitamin C, so it can keep the skin delicate and white. In addition, oolong tea itself contains vitamin C, which is really a two-pronged approach for whitening skin. Vitamin C will be excreted from the body with urine within 2 to 3 hours, so you must drink oolong tea at any time to replenish vitamin C.

3. Oolong tea can improve skin allergies.

Drinking 1 liter of oolong tea every day can improve skin allergies. It is said that most skin patients suffer from allergic dermatitis. So far, the cause of this dermatitis is still unclear, but oolong tea has the effect of inhibiting the development of the disease.

4. Prevent the occurrence of plaque and prevent tooth decay:

A cup of tea after a meal can not only quench your thirst and refresh your breath, but it can also prevent tooth decay. Tooth decay is caused by bacteria invading the tooth tissue, which produces tooth decay-causing enzymes in the tissue. This enzyme works with the sugar contained in the food to form substances that cause tooth decay. This tooth decay substance and bacteria attach to the teeth to form plaque, which accumulates and causes tooth decay. The polyphenols contained in oolong tea have the effect of inhibiting the production of plaque enzymes, so drinking a cup of oolong tea after a meal can prevent the occurrence of plaque and tooth decay.
