Regulate Lipid Metabolism
The body sometimes requires stimulation as a reminder of when it needs to transform fat into energy and vice versa. Many studies have suggested that oolong tea is rich in polyphenols, which can regulate lipid metabolism. This means it helps the body takes advantage of fat cells as energy rather than letting them build up. In other words, the antioxidants can stimulate the production of short-chain fatty acids from undigested carbohydrates in the intestines. These fatty acids, in turn, move to the liver to control fat metabolism, which reduces fat accumulation in your arms, stomachs, and other body parts.[4]
