Buckwheat tea is one of the most popular health teas in our lives, especially for people who want to lose weight. It not only helps control calorie intake but also promotes intestinal peristalsis and prevents fat accumulation. Let's take a look at the principles of buckwheat tea for weight loss.
【Principles of Buckwheat Tea for Weight Loss】
1. Suppressing Hunger
Soluble dietary fiber mixes with water in the human intestines to form a gel, which increases in volume by 30 times. This prolongs the time for the body to absorb nutrients from food and helps resist hunger for a longer period of time. It also prevents the desire to eat sweets caused by sudden increases and decreases in blood sugar, reducing the intake of excess fat and calories.
2. Absorbing Oil
When food containing fat and sugar enters the gastrointestinal tract, the fiber absorbs and wraps around fat molecules, forming large molecules that are excreted from the body. It can remove 60% of the oil from the food, and also reduce the absorption of sugar and starch by the intestinal mucosa, thereby reducing the absorption rate of fat and decreasing fat synthesis.
3. Clearing Intestinal Waste
While absorbing oil, dietary fiber also regulates physiological functions and metabolism, promotes intestinal peristalsis, consumes more energy during digestion, removes excess fat from the body, and absorbs and eliminates intestinal waste and feces, relieving constipation and toxin concerns. In addition to weight loss, it can also make the skin smooth and radiant.
4. Burning Fat
The natural plant components in black buckwheat tea can accelerate the oxidation and decomposition of fat, efficiently burning excess and surplus fat in the body, accelerating metabolism, inhibiting the production of lipase, preventing fat from accumulating again, and consolidating the effect of weight loss. With the combination of burning and inhibition, weight loss becomes more effective.
【Proper Way to Drink Buckwheat Tea】
1. Take a small bag containing 5g or 6g of buckwheat tea and put it in a cup. It is best to use a glass cup so that you can see the beautiful color after brewing and enjoy it more.
2. Pour hot water into the cup with the buckwheat tea. After pouring, wait for about 3-5 minutes before drinking. However, don't drink it immediately because it will be very hot. Let it sit for a moment until it's not too hot, then drink it!
3. The first sip will give a fragrant smell in the nose. Some people say it smells like biscuits, while others say it tastes like coffee. In any case, it's a taste you will like. However, you may not taste anything when you first drink it.
4. Some people are afraid of bitterness. When they hear something bitter, they frown. Although this tea is called buckwheat tea, it is not as bitter as you might think. It doesn't taste as bitter as its name suggests.
5. After the second sip, you may feel a slight bitterness, but it can be ignored. The taste of wheat becomes stronger in your mouth.
6. If you don't want to drink it anymore, don't waste it. You can consume it directly and fully absorb its nutritional ingredients!
