Tea has long been hailed for its many health benefits, one of which could be fat loss.<\/p>\n

“Tea is one of my favourite drinks, and you can often find me sipping cups of it all day long,” said Dr William Li.<\/p>\n

Oolong tea is one of Dr Li\u2019s particular favourites, which he said “contains polysaccharide that suppresses fat cell growth by turning off their gene expression”.<\/p>\n

Oolong tea has been shown to improve metabolism if consumed weekly, research states.<\/p>\n

Dr Li pointed out another fat-busting tea: “Pu\u2019er tea is a fermented black tea that contains a probiotic called pueribacillus that boosts gut health.”<\/p>\n

And, most notably, Dr Li said: “Matcha tea contains EGCG [epigallocatechin gallate].”<\/p>\n

Well known for its vivid green colouring, research has shown that matcha can counter the metabolic effects of a high-fat diet, Dr Li noted.<\/p>\n

EGCG is a fat-suppressing bioactive that is present “137 times” more in matcha tea compared to typical commercial green tea.<\/p>\n

    How to burn fat<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The NHS stresses the importance of healthy weight loss, which is likely to increase the chances of maintaining the new weight in the long term.<\/p>\n

    “To make sure you lose weight safely, always speak to your GP before starting a new diet or fitness regime,” the health body advises.<\/p>\n

    One pound of fat is the equivalent to 3,500 calories; by reducing calorie intake by 500 calories daily, you should lose around one pound per week.<\/p>\n

    “While it might not seem like much, if you ate an extra 100 calories per day, by the end of the year you could gain 11lbs,” the NHS cautions.<\/p>\n
