What exactly is in Pu'er tea
Pre processing of Pu'er tea belongs to the category of non fermented tea, which is made by fermenting after being fermented in a pile. It belongs to the category of post fermented tea and is classified as black tea.
Pu'er tea contains abundant flavonoids and antioxidants, such as tea polyphenols, catechins, chlorophyll, vitamin C, etc., as well as a significant amount of caffeine.
Tea polyphenols can remove fats and oils, chlorophyll can hinder the digestion and absorption of cholesterol, vitamin C can promote cholesterol excretion, and tea also contains caffeine.
So, caffeine can make people excited, and excitement can help with weight loss, is that true?
Caffeine excites people, increases the basic metabolic energy expenditure of the human body, enhances exercise ability, and leads to more energy expenditure. However, its impact on basic metabolism is minimal.
So, caffeine in tea cannot help with weight loss either.
Can drinking Pu'er really break down fat?
The fat in the human body does not decrease due to drinking tea, and there is no clinical basis for tea to accelerate the breakdown of fat.
In 2013, researchers from the University of Birmingham in the UK conducted a study on 31 adult males, dividing them into three groups for observation experiments. The first group received green tea extract (the amount of green tea extract is equivalent to drinking 8 cups of green tea per day), the second group received a placebo, and the third group received a placebo for the first 6 days, followed by green tea extract on the last day, and then had them exercise, And the data on lipid oxidation in their blood was measured, and it was found that there was no change in their lipid oxidation.
Many people have experienced drinking Pu'er tea to reduce weight. How do they drink it?
The microorganisms contained in Pu'er tea can indeed promote metabolism, but I think people who drink Pu'er tea to lose weight may not only rely on drinking Pu'er tea to lose weight, they must also have a balanced diet and exercise more.
1. The quantity needs to be large
Some people like to only add a little bit of Pu'er tea, three or four grams per brew, and the tea taste is very light!
The most effective weight loss ingredient in Pu'er tea is the lipolytic enzyme in tea polyphenols. The fat degrading enzymes in it are extremely trace, and it is difficult to achieve any effect without more than 10 grams of a bubble.
2. Time should be right
It is best to drink Pu'er tea one hour after rice, as it can break down the greasiness and promote intestinal movement to accelerate digestion.
When drinking Pu'er, be sure to taste it slowly and take small sips.
Don't drink after 9 pm at night as it can easily harm the kidneys.
3. Resting lifestyle
Drinking Pu'er tea can easily lead to hunger. If you start to lose control of your mouth and start eating and drinking indiscriminately, even if Pu'er is a miraculous medicine, it cannot save your weight.
Also, exercise more on weekdays, take a walk, and run.
Precautions for drinking Pu'er tea
1. Don't drink on an empty stomach
Pu'er tea strong tea contains a large amount of caffeine and theophylline. Drinking tea on an empty stomach can easily lead to "tea intoxication", causing gastrointestinal discomfort, weakness in hands and feet, and mental confusion. So, don't drink Pu'er tea on an empty stomach, especially strong tea. The most reasonable way to lose weight and clear the intestines is to drink diluted salt water and honey water on an empty stomach in the morning.
2. Try to drink as little new tea as possible
The post fermentation time of Pu'er tea is relatively short, and the content of caffeine and active alkaloids is high, which can easily stimulate the nervous system and gastrointestinal mucosa. So, try to drink less new tea and occasionally taste fresh tea. It is best to leave the newly purchased Pu'er tea at home for two to three months first, as it not only has a better taste and flavor, but also minimizes its impact on the body.
3. Do not drink a large amount of tea before and after meals
Do not drink a large amount of Pu'er tea before and after meals. Tea contains tannic acid and theophylline, which can have an impact on the digestive system. The correct time to drink tea is at least half an hour before and after meals. It is best to drink light tea and not too strong. Drinking tea in this way is the healthiest way.
3. Not drinking before bedtime
Do not drink Pu'er tea after 9 pm for new tea, as it can cause mental excitement and affect sleep; At the same time, it will also increase the load on the kidneys and grow unsightly eye bags.
4. Not drinking during special periods
Tea Pu'er raw tea has a cold nature, and women should try to drink it less during special periods such as menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation. They should also avoid drinking it when taking medicine.
