In recent years, people with gout can't drink Pu 'er tea. The explanation is that Pu 'er tea is rich in caffeine and theophylline, both of which will increase the uric acid level in the body. It is also said that Pu 'er tea can lose weight. Is this all true?
Can't people with gout drink Pu 'er tea?
Although Pu 'er tea does contain caffeine and theophylline, we still forget that whether Pu 'er tea or other types of tea, as long as it is tea, it will contain this substance. Can gout patients really not drink all their tea?
This is actually a wrong idea. As for what people say, caffeine and theophylline can participate in the metabolism of purines in the body after intake, thus increasing uric acid level and aggravating gout risk.
There is no relevant theory to explain it. On the contrary, a large number of research data show that tea not only does not affect the uric acid level in the body, but also has nothing to do with purine metabolism. Tea polyphenols in tea also have a strong antioxidant effect and are a good health drink. Gout patients drink it in moderation every day, which will also be good for their health.
Therefore, people with gout can drink Pu 'er tea or other teas, which is not harmful to their health.
Can you lose weight by drinking Pu 'er tea?
In life, some people say that drinking Pu 'er tea often can help you lose weight. It is also said that there are related animal experiments to prove it, and in animal experiments, on the one hand, Pu 'er tea can affect the absorption and digestion of xylose in the human body, and then let the fat in the body be excreted.
On the other hand, Pu 'er tea contains dietary fiber, tea polyphenols and other substances, which have a strong antioxidant effect and inhibit the fat we consume. No matter from which aspect, Pu 'er tea can lose weight.
But everyone only saw one thing. In fact, if you really want to lose weight, drinking Pu 'er tea alone will definitely not make you thinner. What's more, if you think Pu 'er tea can lose weight and you can't control your diet, drinking Pu 'er tea can't stop the fat from depositing in your body, and it will only make you fatter and fatter.
In addition, the experiment of Pu 'er tea is an animal experiment, which still has different functions from our human body. At the same time, there is no relevant research data to show that drinking Pu 'er tea regularly can lose weight. So if you want to lose weight, you still have to rely on diet control and reasonable exercise.
At the same time, don't forget the same important point, that is, on the basis of balanced nutrition, avoiding malnutrition, iron deficiency anemia and other phenomena due to weight loss will not be worth the candle.
