Supplementing tea rich in catechins before moderate-intensity exercise such as jogging and cycling can increase the fat consumption rate by 17%, which is helpful to achieve the goal of slimming faster. Exercise can consume fat, because the human body will secrete adrenaline during exercise, which will induce lipolysis through a series of enzyme reactions and transform fat cells into energy needed for exercise.
During exercise, the human body also secretes an enzyme called COMT to decompose adrenaline and interfere with its effect of decomposing fat cells. Catechins rich in green tea, oolong tea and black tea are GOMT's "enemies". If these teas can be supplemented before exercise, the effect of COMT can be inhibited, and then the lipolysis induced by adrenaline can be maintained, and the effect of decomposing fat cells is the best.
Precautions for drinking tea:
First, it is not advisable to drink tea on an empty stomach before meals. Because drinking tea on an empty stomach before meals will dilute gastric juice and affect its secretion, which is not conducive to food digestion.
Second, it is not advisable to drink tea immediately after meals. If you drink tea immediately after meals, the tea polyphenols contained in tea can easily react with iron and protein in food, thus affecting the absorption of iron and protein by human body. The most reasonable time for drinking tea should be half an hour after dinner.
Third, it is not advisable to drink tea before going to bed. Caffeine contained in tea has the function of exciting the central nervous system, and drinking tea before going to bed will make it difficult for people to fall asleep; Tea is also a diuretic, plus drink more water when drinking tea. Drinking tea before going to bed will also lead to an increase in the number of trips to the toilet at night, which will affect the quality of sleep.
