The market is crowded with energy drinks and other beverages these days. The makers of these products will claim that they can boost your metabolism and make it easier for you to lose weight. However, if you're informed about the energy drinks market, you probably already know about Ephedra, as well as the fact that it has been banned in the U.S. market because of the adverse health effects it can have on some users.

It raises a good question; can you really be sure that the energy drinks out there are as safe as they claim to be? There are better alternatives, such as one safe and all natural drink which has been used in China for centuries now.

There has been extensive research on this beverage, conducted in Asia, Europe and the US, all of which has indicated that this is a truly safe, all natural drink which is effective at helping your body burn off excess energy and lose fat. There is also the established fact that this beverage contains a wealth of antioxidant compounds which can protect your body against disease and slow down some of the physical effects of aging.

So what is this beverage, anyway? It's Wu Yi tea, which is grown, harvested and processed at Wu Yi Mountain in Fujian province, China. Wu Yi tea is a type of oolong tea and has long been a staple for the Chinese - the tea is believed to be partially responsible for the high level of physical health and fitness enjoyed by the Chinese people.

Due to the fermentation process it undergoes, Wu Yi tea is rich in polyphenols. These compounds actually increase the metabolic rate, meaning that your body will burn stored fat much more efficiently. These Polyphenols work by promoting lipolysis, which means that your body will us its own enzymes to break down the fat stored in your body in a way which is totally safe and very effective.

The research done on Wu Yi tea has also shown that daily consumption of the tea can lower your odds of developing some cancers, improve heart and respiratory function and even promote stronger bones and teeth! It also helps to regulate your cholesterol levels; is there any other weight loss drink on the market which can do any, let alone all of these things?

Just two cups of Wu Yi tea daily will provide the fat-burning benefits of the tea. Drinking more than this will help you to reap the other health benefits of this tea. Wu Yi is not only effective and healthy, but is safe for anyone to drink, regardless of age, sex or general health. There are no side effects of drinking the tea and the amount of caffeine is minimal, having no negative health effects. In fact, drinking Wu Yi tea is just as safe as drinking water - but even healthier, thanks to its many health-giving properties.
