Have you ever noticed how Asian women seem to have gorgeous, youthful skin well into their latter years? Do you not wish you knew their secrets? I know one! Would you like to know about oolong tea?
There are other secrets of Asian women that help them maintain their youthful appearance such as diet and less exposure to environmental toxins. They live cleaner lives, generally speaking.
Veggies, fruits, whole grains and lean proteins should all be on the menu for more youthful skin, but when it comes to environmental toxins such as car exhaust that we cannot escape, we need more. Asian women have drunk oolong tea for centuries and it is capable of slowing the aging process and producing more youthful skin.
Tea differs in its preparation, but it all comes from the same plant called camellia Sinensis. Some tea goes through a fermentation process and others do not which is what alters the flavor and color of tea.
The fermentation process involves oxidation and crushing the leaves, which darkens the leaves and alters the flavor. Black tea leaves are crushed and bruised and left exposed to oxygen for a long period of time. They are highly fermented. Green tea is not fermented at all, and oolong tea is semi-fermented.
Wu Liang was picking tea leaves when a deer interrupted him. He left to hunt the deer and the picked tea leaves were abandoned in the sun. They began to ferment.
He returned a few days later and found the tea leaves partially oxidized by the sun. He proceeded to prepare the tea anyway and found that this oxidation process had made the tea more delicate than green tea. It no longer had a bitter grassy taste!
Oolong tea, green tea and white tea are the most beneficial teas to fight the signs of aging, but oolong tea has a nicer flavor because of the semi-fermentation process. Tea is capable of fighting aging and restoring more youthful skin due to its phytochemicals, which is a fancy name for antioxidants.
This is because of the role antioxidants play in fighting free radicals. At the root of premature aging, free radicals affect our health and appearance at the cellular level. Chemicals, pollutants, UV rays and a host of other environmental factors produce free radicals in our bodies.
Aging makes it more difficult to fight free radical damage, and they are allowed to destroy cellular membranes and alter genetic material. We also cannot regenerate cells at the same rate as we did when we were younger.
All of this affects our overall health and the breakdown of all tissue. Your skin starts to wrinkle, sag and become more fragile. You start to see all of those early signs of aging.
As mentioned oolong tea contains strong antioxidants. When free radicals damage cells, the process is called oxidation. ANTIoxidants fight this process. They can also repair the damage done AND they are important components of cellular regeneration. This is why drinking oolong tea regularly can improve the health of your skin and restores a more vibrant, healthy appearance to your skin!
