And white tea has lately topped r in this chart of allies.<br></p><p>But is white tea better than green tea for weight loss? Yes, may be. Though white tea and green tea are extracted from the same tea plant but white tea leaves are harvested when they are tender. So, unlike green tea, white tea involves less processing and thus, retains more antioxidants which are ultimately helpful in losing weight. So, here we tell you what is white tea and how it is better than green tea for weight loss.</p>

<p>WHAT IS WHITE TEA? White tea comes from Camellia Sinensis and is harvested even before the tea leaves are fully open. The young buds are still covered with delicate white hair and that is why it is called white tea. White tea is minimally processed and that is why it comes in the most delicate tea varieties. Below are the reasons how white tea helps in weight loss.<br></p>

<p>WHITE TEA PREVENTS THE FORMATION OF NEW FAT CELLS: Fat is formed when we eat more food than what our body requires and then the unused part is stored in our body in the form of fat, which we can use later as a form of energy. Preadipocyte cells are converted into fat cells by our body but when treated by white tea extracts, the formation of new fat cells is inhibited. In simple terms, white tea extracts are capable of preventing the formation of new fat cells.<br></p>

<p>REDUCES CALRIE ABSORPTION: The polyphenol called Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) present in white tea can hamper calorie absorption. A study conducted on mice where a few mice were fed with high-fat food and were given this polyphenol saw that this polyphenol hindered the accumulation of body fat and resulted in more calories being excreted through their stool. <br></p>

<p>IT BREAKS DOWN FAT: To release energy, our body breaks down or oxidises fat. Oxidation of fat is related to weight gain. People who are fat have low fat oxidation and people who are lean have higher fat oxidation. Caffeine present in white tea can stimulate fat oxidation in our body by activating the central nervous system. White tea breaks down the fat from mature fat cells. <br></p>

<p>WHITE TEA VERSUS GREEN TEA: Both white tea and green tea come from the same tea plant, Camellia Sinensis. The only difference is that white tea leaves are harvested at much younger age than green tea leaves. White tea leaves are expensive and rare as they can be picked only during the early spring and are supposed to be handled with extra care.<br></p><p>Green tea is slightly more processed than white tea and that is the reason white tea has the same antioxidants as green tea but in greater quantity. So, less caffeine and more antioxidants make white tea a little better but people choose green tea more as it is extensively studied and is cheap and easily available. </p>
