The martial arts, written language and even the noodle all were invented in the nation that most recently hosted the top-notch 2008 Summer Olympics.
But weight loss regimens? Aren't people in China normally thin because of their healthy diet? Not always.
This is the country that also brings us the one of a kind WuYi Chinese Slimming Tea.
While WuYi Chinese tea is pricey with $64.
00 for a 30 day supply (2 cups a day recommended) it does come with a guarantee that it is made from the highest quality blend of tea leaves in "the most fertile and mineral-rich land you'll find anywhere in China".
Once a year, the chairman of the company goes to the fields to select the best tea leaves from that year's crop.
We don't know where the rest goes, but it is probably sold in grocery stores in less expensive forms like Ooo-Long tea.
Ooo-Long tea is also considered to be a great tea to drink in aid of weight loss.
At least in Chinese health circles.
Even though there are plenty of weight loss options out there, many people prefer that their weight loss regimens be composed of elements taken from natural products.
And there is little more natural or with a longer history than the tea leaf.
Wu Yi Chinese tea takes these natural wonders and creates a concoction that helps to suppress the drinker's appetite.
It may not be the tastiest tea on the market, but at least its benefits cannot be denied.
So why not follow a more Eastern line of thinking and order WuYi Chinese Slimming Tea.
The only thing you have to lose is weight!
