On a Diet? These 5 Types of Tea Can Help Your Diet Program
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Tea has long been known to have a myriad of good health benefits. In fact, several types of tea are nutritious for weight loss for those of you who are undergoing a diet program.
Tea can also help relieve throat discomfort and provide a calming effect.
Reporting from Wolipop, these five types of tea help the diet program and reduce waist circumference:
1. Green Tea
Green tea contains antioxidants called catechins and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The latter is believed to increase metabolism and help burn fat.

3. Black Tea
Black tea is a type of tea that undergoes more oxidation than other types of tea. Several studies have found that black tea is effective for weight control.
Reporting from Healthline, some scientists theorize that this benefit is derived from the flavonoid content of black tea. In fact, a study found that people with a high intake of flavonoids had a lower body mass index than those who rarely got flavonoid intake.
