In recent years, drinking tea to lose weight is quite popular, among which drinking pu-erh tea to lose weight is a common one. Can drinking pu-erh tea really help you lose weight?
What exactly is in pu-erh tea?
Pu-erh tea before processing belongs to the non-fermented tea category, and is made after fermentation through the pile, which is a post-fermented tea, and is a black tea category.
Pu-erh tea is rich in flavonoid antioxidant substances such as tea polyphenols, catechins, chlorophyll, vitamin C, etc. It also contains more caffeine.
Tea polyphenols can remove fat and grease, chlorophyll can hinder the digestion and absorption of cholesterol, vitamin C can promote the excretion of cholesterol, and the tea also contains caffeine.
So, caffeine can make people excited, excitement can help weight loss, is it true?
Caffeine makes people excited, is the body’s basal metabolic energy consumption increased, exercise capacity is enhanced, energy consumption is more, however, it has little effect on basal metabolism.
Therefore, the caffeine in tea cannot help weight loss either.
Can drinking Pu-erh really break down fat?
The fat in human body will not be reduced by drinking tea, and there is no clinical basis for drinking tea to accelerate the breakdown of fat.
In 2013, researchers from the University of Birmingham in the UK conducted a study on 31 adult men. The researchers divided these people into three groups for an observational experiment, where the first group took green tea extract (the amount of green tea extract is equivalent to drinking 8 cups of green tea per day), the second group took a placebo, and the third group of people took a placebo for the first 6 days and green tea extract on the last day, then they were asked to do exercise and measure their blood fat oxidation data, and found that no change was found in their fat oxidation.
