Green and oolong tea mix may help burn fat

If you're looking for a way to help you look ooooh so good this summer, try adding a daily cup of oolong tea -- fortified with green tea -- to your diet.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who drank this green tea/oolong tea mixture lost an average of 2.4 more pounds over a three month period than people who drank regular oolong tea. Catechins, an antioxidant found in green tea, have been shown to stimulate the body to burn fat.

Another option, of course, is to drink green tea on its own, which has also been shown to have a fat-burning effect. My guess is the reason for the green tea/oolong mix is that some people don't care for the taste of green tea by itself (myself included). But, if you can stomach it, go for it. Or, you can also try different flavored green teas, such as Celestial Seasoning's Blueberry Green Tea, of which I am quite a fan.
