Weight Loss After 40: Benefits of Oolong Tea


“I’ve been doing everything! Eating right, exercising. It’s not working. It must be my metabolism.” If you’re over the age of 40, you might be right. Recent studies show that as you age, your resting metabolic rate decreases by 5% for every decade past age 40, resulting in your body needing roughly 100-less calories per day. Metabolism can be affected by your sex, age, thyroid levels, or muscle to fat ratio.

In a recent episode of the Dr. Oz show, the popular television doctor spoke about weight gain after 40 and simple ways to kick your metabolism into gear.  His top recommendation for boosting metabolism is Oolong tea.  Oolong tea helps to burn fat already stored in your body.  In addition, oolong tea is low in caffeine.  Recent studies that show your metabolism may be raised for 2 hours after every cup of Oolong.

Teavana offers many wonderful Oolong teas.  Get that metabolism going with some of our favorites:

I discovered Oolong tea many years ago on a visit business trip to Japan. I was shown the proper way to brew it and the proper way to serve it. The host family I stayed with for a week seen that I was so impressed with their teas they added flavors to it with dried apple,lavender or dried pineapple which more than intendifided the flavors. I became a instant tea fan. To me and this is my op only, Oolong is the smoothest and simplest, more plesent teas out there.
