Ginger and black tea diet is not suitable for hot constitution.
There is a rumor on the Internet that there is a self-made diet method of "soaking ginger in black tea". It is said that "black tea soaked with ginger" can not only help women "warm up" in winter, but also have a good weight loss effect, and can lose 5 to 8 pounds in a few months. In this regard, Jiangxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine reminded consumers yesterday that there is no scientific basis for "black tea soaked with ginger" to lose weight, and it is easy to get angry if you drink too much.
Although ginger can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduce absorption, there is no basis in Chinese medicine to say that "black tea soaked with ginger" helps to lose weight; Chinese medicine believes that ginger is warm, so it is useful for people to boil water with ginger to relieve cough, warm stomach and dispel cold; Black tea belongs to fermented tea and is temperate. At the same time, Liu Jiaoshou reminded consumers not to blindly follow the trend of "ginger soaking black tea", which can be drunk by people with cool constitution; But for people with hot constitution, it is easy to get angry, night sweats, dizziness, acne and other symptoms after drinking, and the key to scientific weight loss is to insist on exercise and pay attention to diet.
People with cold constitution are prone to cold hands and feet because of poor blood circulation, but they don't like sports and are afraid of cold. Only by constantly using food to increase your body heat, this vicious circle is often the main reason why people with cold constitution become fat.
Key points of losing weight in cold constitution:
(1) Never go on a diet or use improper methods to lose weight. Because people with cold obesity need ways to lose weight and make up for it themselves if they want to succeed.
(2) To improve this situation, we must start with diet, choose hot food and balance physical fitness. Drink more warm drinks and tea, and never drink cold drinks. Otherwise, the weight loss effect will be greatly reduced. Eat some spicy food, such as ginger, pepper, pepper and so on. It has a great effect on improving basal metabolic rate.
Expert advice: eat a heated tomato or tomato juice before meals for a long time. Because the unique sour taste of tomatoes can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and help the dietary fiber in tomatoes absorb excess fat in the intestines and excrete it with waste.
Can cold constitution drink lotus leaf tea to lose weight?
Lotus leaf tea is very popular to lose weight now. Because you don't need to go on a diet or do a lot of exercise, it's painless and won't do much harm to your health. For many MM who don't exercise much, it is a good choice to lose weight. However, people with cold lotus leaves, diuresis, physical weakness or cold constitution should use it with caution.

The effect of food supplement is slow, but it will change with constant attention. For example, I ate a lot of mutton one winter, and I was really not afraid of the cold. There is no need to eat a lot of food every day, as long as you always want to eat a little. After a long time, it will naturally have an effect. For Chinese medicine with strong efficacy, Chinese medicine practitioners should be asked to determine the drug and dosage, and they should not be used indiscriminately.
Tips for slimming:
The food we eat every day can also be roughly divided into three types: warm, hot and cold.
1. "Wen" refers to: onions, leeks, Chinese cabbage and other foods that can warm the body.
2. "Hot" means that it is easier to warm the body than warm food, such as spicy seasoning.
3. "Cold" refers to the food that can make the body cold, such as eggplant, tomato and cucumber.
If the nature of food is between warm and cold, it is called "flat" food. Like eggs.
It is best to choose the food suitable for your physique as the food for MM to lose weight. Obese people with cold constitution had better eat "warm" and "hot" food. Obese people with a hot constitution can relieve their body heat by eating "cold" food. When you lose weight successfully, you can eat more "sexual" food, which will be very good for your health.
