White Tea Can Solve Obesity
According to researchers at the German laboratory Beiersdorg AG, a series of experiments showed that consumption of a tea made from the plant Camellia sinensis inhibits the generation of new fat cells.
White tea, as it is called the preparation with the first shoots of plants which are green tea and black-lowering effects of obesity, according to a study released today by the journal Nutrition and Metabolism.
According to researchers at the German laboratory Beiersdorg AG, a series of experiments showed that consumption of a tea made from the plant Camellia sinensis inhibits the generation of new fat cells (adipocytes) and stimulates the elimination of that fat in mature cells.
“We have shown that white tea may be an ideal source of natural substances to lose weight,” said Marc Winnefeld, member of research team.
According to the scientist, white tea may be at least a partial solution to the obesity problem that affects mainly the U.S., where it is considered that about 60 percent of the population is overweight.
“In industrialized countries, the increasing incidence of obesity-related disorders, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes are growing problems,” he said.
The scientist explained that the infusion induced a reduction of the activity of genes related to development of new fat cells while giving a boost to dissolve the fat in the adipocytes.
White tea is less processed and contains more of the ingredients that are believed to be responsible for the effects in the study demonstrated that green or black, according to scientists.
