    Dr. Dean Ornish answered:

    According to Chinese medicine, tea helps control obesity. A classical Chinese pharmaceutical book called Bencao Shiyi states, “Drinking tea for a long time will make one live long to stay in good shape without becoming too fat and too heavy.” Tea may help reduce obesity by increasing metabolism, reducing fat absorption, activating enzymes, and reducing appetite.
