Does drinking tea cause weight gain?
Disease description:
I’ve been dieting these past few days to improve my physique. Normally, I drink tea instead of water. I’d like to ask: Can drinking tea cause weight gain?
Hello,
Generally speaking, foods or beverages with high fat content are more likely to contribute to weight gain. Drinking tea does not cause weight gain, as tea contains virtually no fat. In fact, many types of tea today are even associated with weight-loss benefits. Tea does not “absorb fat” from the body—this is a misconception—but certain teas may support metabolism and fat oxidation. Therefore, you need not worry that drinking tea in moderation will lead to weight gain. If you drink tea daily, you may consider varieties known for their potential weight-management benefits; however, consumption should be sensible and not excessive.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
