Black tea and gut health: Studies suggest that black tea not only provides the caffeine rush you need to keep your day going but can be pretty effective in shedding kilos. It could produce healthy gut bacteria and can even boost your metabolism. Studies suggest that a compound called Polyphenols found in black tea encourages the production of short-chain fatty acids in the gut, which can speed up the body’s metabolic rate.
Black tea and triglyceride levels: Another reason why black tea can be an excellent alternative for your usual tea is that it contains flavonoids. This compound was shown to lower visceral fats, triglyceride levels and hinder inflammation-induced obesity.
A low-calorie drink: The third reason why black tea is a healthy option is because it is a low-calorie drink. The calorie count in a cup of black tea is almost negligible. The fat and cholesterol content is 0%.
