Health Benefits of Wu Long Tea Research studies on the health benefits of wu long tea (also referred to

as oolong tea) reveal the brew's potential to reverse signs of aging, facilitate weight loss, and promote
overall wellness. While all teas possess similar properties including caffeine, catechin, polyphenals, and
teaflavin tearubigin that provide benefits to the human body, the quantities and percentages differ
depending on the extent of oxidation during production. Therefore the health benefits of wu long tea,
which is semi-fermented, vary from those offered by green tea with its limited processing and black tea
with its extensive oxidation process. Following are some research studies that point to the health
benefits of wu long tea consumption. WEIGHT LOSS: Scientists from Japan's University of Tokushima
School of Medicine found that people who regularly consumed oolong tea experienced more than twice
the calorie-burning results compared to those who drank green tea. A study published in the Journal of
Medical Investigation found that women who consumed wu-long tea directly after a meal increased
energy expenditure by 10%. This compared to an energy expenditure of 4% for green tea drinkers and 0
for water drinkers. Researchers at the Suntory Research Center in Osaka, Japan found that drinking wu
long tea 15 minutes before eating foods high in carbohydrates curbed rises in insulin, thus reducing
some of the fattening effects of carbohydrate intake. ENHANCED SKIN CONDITION: Researchers from
Japan's Shiga University of Medical Science found that drinking wu long each day helps to clear up skin
problems within one month. Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto and colleagues from the University of California
found that people who drank wu long tea on a daily basis experienced a fifty-percent reduction in free
radicals within 15 days. Free radicals are damaging substances in the body that contribute to signs of
aging, including wrinkles and dark spots that are caused by ultra-violet rays, chemical food additives,
pollution and stress. HEALTHY TEETH: A study by the Department of Dentistry at Japan's Osaka
University showed that regular consumption of oolong tea strengthens teeth and helps prevent tooth
decay by inhibiting the build-up of plaque. STRONGER IMMUNE SYSTEM: According to a study published
in Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, test subjects who consumed wu long were found to have stronger
immune systems and a reduced risk for infections. While the results of these and other studies are
promising, you should always talk with your doctor about the health benefits of wu long tea before
adding the brew or other varieties to your daily diet for therapeutic purposes. This article was written by

1st. BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea consumption increases the metabolic rate of the body
including the total calories metabolised by the body.
Scientific Reference: Article titled "Energy Expenditure of US Men and Japanese Women
Consumer Oolong Tea" by groups of researchers at:
A. Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Centre, ARS,
B. the Department of Nutrition, University of Tokushima,
C. Research Centre, Suntory LTD., in Japan.


2nd. BENEFIT: Wulong/Oolong Tea is known to also raise body fat metabolism by
switching the body mechanisms to survive on essential fatty acids rather than sugar.
Scientific Reference: Wu Long tea contains powerful anti-oxidant "Polyphenols", "Flavanoids
and Vitamin C which are known to raise body fat metabolism by switching the bodies
mechanisms to survive on essential fatty acids rather than sugar. This helps in breaking down
food so it is more efficiently metabolized. What this means is that the body goes after fat stored
in your adipose tissue rather than glucose derived from your muscles. Since the muscles are a
major engine of calorie metabolism, normal diets actually cause your metabolism to slow
because your body breaks down your muscle tissue for energy instead of the unneeded stores of
fat.


3th. BENEFIT: Wulong/Oolong Tea can be an aid in fat-loss as it contains powerful anti-
oxidant "Polyphenols", and "Flavanoids" which are believed to have a role in activating the
enzymes in the body that break down body fat.
Scientific Reference: Long tea contains powerful anti-oxidant "Polyphenols", and "Flavanoids
which are believed to have a role in activating the enzymes in the body that break down body fat.


4th. BENEFIT: Wu-Long/Oolong Tea has been proven to suppress the appetite while
moderating blood sugar levels. This is really important as this property can diminish the side
effects of sugar products eaten that may cause different mood swings.

Scientific Reference: Suntory Research Centre in Osaka, Japan, show that the elements in the
WuLong/OoLong Tea, may help reduce the rise in insulin (the natural body's "fat-storing"
hormone) which increases after the absorption of carbohydrates like rice, pasta, bread etc.


5th. BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea reduces the fattening effects of carbohydrates

Scientific Reference: Researches suggest that WuLong/OoLong Tea reduces the fattening
effects of carbohydrates, which is caused by increasing insulin levels. As Insulin is the body's
natural "fat-storing" hormone. In fact, in a recent study from scientists at the Suntory Research
Center in Osaka, Japan, has demostrated that test subjects that drank Wu Long tea 15 minutes
before eating carbohydrates helped diminish the rise in insulin in the body which you normally
get when eating carbohdrates. Therefore the less insulin in the blood stream the less the potential
for the body to store fat.


AGING PREVENTION & BEAUTY:

6th. BENEFIT: There is a possibility that the tea may help not only in nourishing the skin but
in clearing skin eczema.

Scientific Reference: In another study published in the Academic Journal Archives of
Dermatology researchers from Japan's Shiga University of Medical Science have discovered that
the elements in WuLong/OoLong Tea may help not only nourishing the skin but also help
clearing skin eczema.


7th BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea had a incredible 50% reduction in free radicals within
just 15 days of consumption! Free radicals have been connected with aging, the formation of
wrinkles, and colored spots on the skin. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could use a natural
product like this incredible tea to make you healthy and younger from the inside out?
Scientific Reference:
A) A 2004 Research conducted in the University of California by Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto and
his colleagues has shown that the elements in WuLong/OoLong Tea had a incredible 50%
Reduction in Free Radicals within just 15 days of consumption! What does this mean to us? Well
Free Radicals are all those damaging substances in your body caused by stress, chemical food
additives, artificial colorants, toxins and pollution. The more you age the less your body is able
to deal with free radicals and as a result, these increase within the body. Free radicals have been
connected with aging, the formation of wrinkles, colored spots on the skin and even certain types
of diseases like Parkinson's Disease (PD) and other brain related illnesses.
B) Neuroscientists at the University of Virginia Health System shows that oxygen free radicals
are damaging proteins in mitochondria, the tiny cellular 'batteries' of brain cells. This damage
may be one main cause of Parkinson's Disease (PD).




DETOX:

8th. BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea also contains detoxifying alkaloids such as Theine,
Theophyline, Theobromine, and the calming amino acid Theanine.




GENERAL HEALTH & DISEASE PREVENTION:
9th BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea has the properties of strengthening the Immune
System. People drinking this tea, had a stronger immune system which diminished greately the
risk of infections such as the common cold.
Scientific Reference: Based on researches conducted in 2004 by the Scientific Journal
Antioxidants & Redox Signalling WuLong/OoLong Tea has the properties of strengthening the
Immune System. The test subjects who consumed Wu Long tea on a daily basis were found to
have a stronger immune system, which diminished greatly the risk of infections such as the
common cold.


10th. BENEFIT: As WuLong/OoLong Tea reduces the rise in insulin in the body it has the
cabability of diminuishing and better controlling diabetes mellitus.
Scientific Reference: Wu Long alone does however have unique effects against obesity and
cardiovascular disease. An article in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice 65 (2004) by
researchers in Japan showed that Wu Long tea increased Adiponectin levels in patients with type
2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery diesase. While water consuming groups showed no
changes in adiponectin levels, a protein that is lowered in those with morose obesity, Coronary
Artery disease, and Diabetes Mellitus, those who consumed Wu Long tea showed a significant
difference in blood levels of adiponectin.


11th. BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea prevent tooth decay by significantly inhibiting
plaque deposition making them stronger and healthier. This is because WuLong/OoLong Tea is a
powerful anti-bacterial that not only eliminates plaque but also leaves a thin film of resin that
helps protect teeth.
Scientific Reference: Department of Dentistry at Japan's Osaka University Research which
shows that the elements in WuLong/OoLong Tea prevent tooth decay by significantly inhibiting
plaque deposition making them stronger and healthier.


12th. BENEFIT: Wu Long has a unique effects against high cholesterol.
Scientific Reference: Wu Long has also been shown to help balance levels of LDL and
triglyceride levels by moderating the effects of LDL, a pernicuous cholesterol carried by low-
density lioprotein. In a study by lead scientist H. Itakura of the Suntory Resaerch Center, Osaka
japan, as well as H. Itakura of the National Institute of Health and Nutrition, Tokyo Japan,
subjects who drank Wu Long tea twice a day for 8 weeks had lower total cholesterol and
triglyceride levels while HDL (good Cholesterol) levels were unaffected. Oxidation of LDL is
believed to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis (Frei 1995). The scientists
concluded that Wu Long "signficantly reduces LDL oxidation, total cholesterol and triglyceride
and may be beneficial in the prevention of coronary heart disease.


13th. BENEFIT: Drinking greater amounts of WuLong/OoLong Tea, has the capability to
reduce certain types of cancers.
Scientific Reference: In a study by Y. Kuroda, and Y. Hara in Mutation Research 436 (1999),
the authors state that the "polyphenols in tea have a strong radical scavenging and reducing
activity... The Japanese Cancer Association as well as the Ministry of Health and Welfare
reported that death rates from cancer in both females and males in Shizuoka Prefecture was
much lower than the mean for all of Japan. In addition, greater intake of a partially fermented
tea, such as Wu Long was correlated with a lower risk of lung cancer in women. As little as 1-4
metric cups a day led to significant results, though the best results were obtained from women
who drank 10 cups or more. Similar results were found for men.


14th. BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea has a positive effect on people with ulcers and
stomach cancer as well as Tobacco Addiction and other related diseases. In addition, tea is a
natural bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory for the lung tissue, allowing otherwise struggling
cells to recover.
Scientific Reference: In a study by the American Health Foundation published in Food and
Chemical Toxicology 40 (2002) it shows that the Chemopreventive effects through its
antioxidants, detoxifying enzymes, and effects on cellular growth and natural cellular death
(apoptosis) the opposite of cancerous cell growth. Tea also has been found to kill Helicobacter
pylori which causes ulcers and stomach cancer as well as inhibiting the effects of tobacco use in
the oral cavity, esophagus, and lung.


15th BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea helps controlling High Blood Pressure. This helps
with the vascular system and therefore diminishing: heart disease, strokes, and other
cardiovascular diseases.
Scientific Reference: In a study by Y. Kuroda, and Y. Hara in Mutation Research 436 (1999),
the authors state that WuLong Tea diminishes the rise in blood pressure and reduces levels of
blood glucose. High blood pressure is a serious burden on the vascular system and is known to
cause heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. Green tea is known for lowering
blood pressure.


16th BENEFIT: WuLong/OoLong Tea had a incredible 50% Reduction in Free Radicals
which can have a beneficial effect on certain types of diseases like Parkinson's Disease (PD) and
other brain related illnesses.
Scientific Reference: A 2004 Research conducted in the University of California by Dr. Kenichi
Yanagimoto and his colleagues has shown that the elements in WuLong/OoLong Tea had a
incredible 50% Reduction in Free Radicals within just 15 days of consumption! What does this
mean to us? Well Free Radicals are all those Damaging Substances in your body caused by
stress, chemical food additives, artificial colorants, toxins and pollution. The more you age the
less your body is able to deal with free radicals and has a result, these increase in the body. Free
Radicals have been connected with aging, the formation of wrinkles, coloured spots on the skin
