Drinking tea can promote fat metabolism and effectively increase the secretion of gastric juice and digestive juice in the body, helping digestion and promoting fat decomposition, achieving the effect of weight loss. So, what kind of tea should you drink to reduce belly fat?
Black Tea
Black tea has a significant effect on inhibiting the increase of abdominal fat. During the fermentation process, black tea produces a component called theaflavin, which prevents fat accumulation. Drinking 1.5 liters of brewed strong tea every day for a long time can significantly reduce belly fat.
Lotus Leaf Tea
Lotus leaf has long been considered a good product for weight loss. Brewing tea with lotus leaf can have a good effect on fat reduction and detoxification, allowing waste and toxins in the body to be quickly eliminated, reducing the accumulation of excess fat in the belly and achieving the effect of reducing belly fat. When brewing lotus leaf tea, it must be brewed with concentrated tea and drunk six times a day. People with constipation symptoms can drink four packs a day, preferably on an empty stomach.
Pu-erh Tea
Pu-erh tea contains an enzyme that can break down fat, enhancing digestion and consumption of fat on the belly, and drinking Pu-erh tea also has the effect of nourishing the stomach and beautifying the skin. However, when brewing Pu-erh tea, it is important to use boiling hot water. The first brewed Pu-erh tea should not be consumed because it contains more impurities. It is also best to drink Pu-erh tea half an hour after a meal to ensure that it does not cause damage to the stomach.
Eucommia Tea
Eucommia is a traditional Chinese medicine. Using it to make tea and drinking it can promote protein breakdown and metabolism in the body, thereby consuming excess fat in the body and achieving the effect of reducing belly fat. When brewing Eucommia tea, it should be brewed at a temperature of around 85 degrees Celsius, covered with a lid for 5 to 15 minutes, and consumed for a month to achieve the goal of fat reduction and weight loss.
Oolong Tea
Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea that contains a large amount of minerals such as calcium and iron, as well as ingredients that promote digestive enzymes and fat decomposition. Drinking a cup of oolong tea before and after meals every day can effectively promote the breakdown of excess fat in the body, allowing it to be directly excreted without being absorbed by the body, preventing the accumulation of fat in the belly.
