Nutrition experts point out that exercise combined with drinking tea containing catechins can improve fat metabolism rate and achieve slimming effect faster. Drinking tea and ingesting catechins can accelerate the consumption of abdominal fat.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, catechins in tea are very helpful to the efficiency of fat consumption during exercise. In this study, 12 healthy young people took catechin and placebo before moderate intensity and 30 minutes of cycling. The results show that taking catechin before exercise can increase the fat energy consumption of 17% during exercise.
In addition, the research in the Journal of Nutrition also shows that three times of moderate-intensity regular exercise combined with drinking green tea can reduce the total abdominal fat by about 7.4% and the subcutaneous abdominal fat by 7% after 12 weeks, compared with ordinary athletes.
What is catechin?
Liu, a professor in the Department of Health and Nutrition of Taipei Medical College, said that people secrete norepinephrine during exercise, and norepinephrine will convert fat cells into energy needed for exercise through enzyme reaction and lipolytic enzyme operation, thus achieving the effect of consuming fat. However, norepinephrine, which has the function of decomposing fat cells, is also easily decomposed by COMT, an enzyme in the human body, thus affecting the fat consumption rate.
Catechins in tea can inhibit the activity of COMT enzyme, avoid the influence of norepinephrine, maintain the operating mechanism of fat metabolism, and increase the efficiency of exercise to eliminate fat. In addition, catechins can also regulate body fat and lower blood cholesterol.
Drinking tea containing catechin before exercise can inhibit the activity of COMT enzyme and make adrenaline play its original fat metabolism function. (Information provided/Liu Jiaoshou) The mermaid line development plan and the tea drinking campaign are two-pronged.
A healthy way to lose weight and fat can't just rely on drinking tea. Liu Jiaoshou pointed out that besides drinking tea 30 ~ 1 hour before exercise to increase fat metabolism rate, it is more important to lose weight and lose weight.
In view of the popular mermaid line and vest line, fitness coach Lei Mingcheng said that the focus is on the control of body fat rate and subcutaneous fat. It is suggested that the body fat rate for men should be controlled at 15% and that for women at 20%, and excessive subcutaneous fat should be avoided.
Coach Lei Mingcheng reminded that sedentary "immobile people" usually have problems of high body fat rate, subcutaneous fat hypertrophy and insufficient muscle mass. If you want to exercise the mermaid line, you can start with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise three times a week, first reduce the body fat rate and subcutaneous fat thickness, and then strengthen the abdominal muscle line with local muscle sculpture exercises.
