Reducing blood fat is not equal to losing weight!
These are two completely different concepts. Losing weight is more about oxidizing the accumulated fat on the body bit by bit through aerobic exercise, while reducing blood fat is mainly to reduce the contents of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood. You can't lose weight if you don't control your diet and exercise.
Not to mention the harm of hyperlipidemia, but there are only two commonly used methods to reduce blood lipid. One is to inhibit the production of fat and cholesterol, and the other is to inhibit the absorption of exogenous fat and cholesterol. Pu 'er tea actually plays a role in lowering blood fat through these two ways.
Lipid-lowering effect of Pu 'er tea
Undeniably, Pu 'er tea does have lipid-lowering effect, which has scientific basis. Let's look at some literature reports:
Duan Haoping studied the lipid-lowering effect of water-soluble theaflavins in Pu 'er tea on hyperlipidemia mice. The water-soluble pigments in Pu 'er tea can significantly reduce the levels of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The research results of Gong Jiashun and others showed that the levels of serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in hyperlipidemia rats fed with theabrownin decreased significantly. Zhao Liping and others think that Pu 'er tea has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on hyperlipidemia and fatty liver.
The above research shows that Pu 'er tea has a certain lipid-lowering effect, but it is all extracted in the study. In other words, the higher the concentration, the lower the concentration used for drinking tea, and how effective the lipid-lowering effect is, which Bian Xiao can't judge.
Lipid-lowering principle of Pu 'er tea
Pu 'er tea is mainly planted in Yunnan, and the contents of tea polyphenols and catechins are relatively high, but the contents of these substances in tea are not much different. The lipid-lowering effect of Pu 'er tea is mainly attributed to its rich theaflavins.
1, theaflavins can inhibit the activity of squalene enzyme, which is a cholesterol synthase, and the cholesterol synthesis speed is greatly reduced, thus lowering the cholesterol level. Theaflavins can also inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine, thus effectively reducing the plasma cholesterol content. In addition, theaflavins can also inhibit the activity of fatty acid synthase, thus hindering fat production.
2. Fermented Pu 'er cooked tea contains many beneficial substances, such as Aspergillus Niger and yeast, which can help digestion and promote metabolism. The lipid-lowering effect of Pu 'er cooked tea is better than that of Pu 'er raw tea, which may also be the reason.
To sum up, Pu 'er tea extract has a certain lipid-lowering effect, but to lose weight, you still have to keep your mouth shut and take your legs!
