Oolong Diet Tea and Gout

Oolong Diet Tea

Since discovering Oolong tea some years ago - I realised that it was not available to buy anywhere. Why the interest, why indeed? After studying the benefits of this tea, I decided I needed to be drinking it - no matter what.

Oolong tea comes from the Fujian region in China - home to the WuYi Mountains - and birthplace of Oolong tea.

When I started drinking Oolong back in 2004 - I suffered from the occasional bouts of gout, always having to be careful when eating chocolates, biscuits, red wine and basically anything sugary. And the gout would come and go without warning - and anyone that has had this condition - will tell you that it's a very unpleasant experience.

This was really annoying - as I could generally eat as much chocolate, biscuits and cakes without any problems. And then, without any warning I would be struck down with gout - and found I really had to watch my sugar intake from now on.

Being a regular drinker of Oolong tea - I have found that my gout problem seems to be in remission. Over the Christmas period I would normally expect to get gout - as I cannot help myself to all the naughty temptations on offer. But this Christmas - I found, even though I gouged myself on all things that could cause gout, it just never came. So I gouged on even more biscuits and chocolates and cakes deliberately to try and give myself gout - but it just never came.

I believe the Oolong tea has been helping make my body better by cleansing and detoxing. Oolong tea helps break down clogged up arteries caused by bad cholesterol. In doing so, this helps lower your cholesterol and blood pressure.

This ancient brew has an abundance of antioxidants - these are vital in removing harmful toxins that can build up, which if left to their own devices - can cause age related diseases - like cancer and dementia.

Oolong tea has also become revered in the diet and slimming world - mainly due to its ability to prevent triglycerides from turning into fat. This healthy tea also helps boost your immune system - which in turn leads to more calories being burned.

This is why I believe - Oolong tea is, the tea 2 life.
