Drink Herbal Tea To Lose Weight, Chinese Researchers Say
Though eating too much is a direct cause of overweight for most people, a poor digestive and metabolism system can also result in excess weight, it is pointed out..
Reserchers hold that the spleen is responsible for sending nutrients from the stomach to all the organs, and also for expelling excess fluid. If the spleen doesn't function well, excess fluid will collect and turn into fat. Fat collects not only on muscles, destroying a nice figure, but also on organs and in the blood, which can cause health problems.
Pathogenic dampness and stagnant water is usually what bothers the spleen, according to scientists working on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Therefore, foods that help the spleen while promoting urination will help prevent fat gathering and promote dispelling it through metabolism.
Tea is one of the best choices. Most teas can help promote urination while some teas can even help prevent sugar and fat absorption, such as famous Pu'er and Oolong teas.
Shanghai Daily dwells at length on lotus leaf tea. It has long been recommended as a slimming drug in China.
”Lotus flowers, leaves and seeds can all help promote urination and move the bowels, thus helping lose weight and dispelling excess fat as recorded in many herbal classics including "Bencao Gangmu" ("Compendium of Materia Medica") by herbalist Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
