What are the benefits of Jasmine tea?

I am a teen loosing weight and its worked very well, but i have been drinking nothing, but water these past few months. Does Jasmine have any health benefits? Can it help me loose weight?


Can I drink it instead of water?

What are the benefits of Jasmine tea?
Tea in general is a good drink as it is high in antioxidants, has been shown to protect against various diseases including cancer and cardio-vascular diseases, and can aid in weight loss by increasing your metabolic rate, which means you burn calories faster.





However, to get more benefits I would recommend drinking green or white tea instead of black tea. (Jasmine is just a flavoured version of black tea). Green and white tea have been less processed, so they have more antioxidants and less caffeine (although any kind of tea has far less caffeine than a cup of coffee).





The caffeine content of tea may have a diuretic effect, i.e. making you need to urinate more, which means you should drink more water if you start to drink a significant amount of tea. However, this effect does depend on how tolerant your body is of caffeine generally - if you are taking in a lot in any case then the amounts in tea shouldn't make much difference.
Reply:Jasmine tea should be good I like my mom to buy me bath bubbles with Jasmine inm it. :) it's good to bathe in!:)-
Reply:Drinking tea will not help you lose weight. Not unless you had a cup of tea instead of a healthy meal! Jasmine tea is a great source of anti-oxidants and minerals pplus it tastes really nice too! I would not reccomend drinking it instead of water as your body requires, at the very least, 2 litres of water a day. I would maybe suggest alternating between your water and jasmine tea throughout the day. Just remember to constantly saturate ytour body with water all day long, your urine should be a pale straw colour. Any darker and it means you are dehydrated. Another dehydration sign is dry lips or mouth. Keep drinking that water and enjoy your tea!
