Pu'er Tea has a long history, and nowadays, people have mostly developed the habit of Drinking Tea, making it an indispensable beverage for health preservation and longevity. It is also favored by many. So, what are the benefits of drinking Pu'er tea? I believe that most people are not very familiar with them. Let's explore some of the benefits of Pu'er tea together.
Pu'er tea is renowned for its sweet aftertaste; after swallowing the tea, a lingering rich aroma remains in the mouth. More than 4,700 years ago, during the era of the divine farmer, people discovered that fresh tea leaves could detoxify. Since then, as people began to drink tea more widely, they found that it not only benefits cardiovascular health but can also prevent certain diseases and slow down aging. Therefore, the advantages of tea became widely recognized.
Regarding the benefits of drinking Pu'er tea for your body, we can understand from the following points.
One: Weight loss effects
Due to the presence of tea polyphenols in Pu'er tea, this substance can help remove fat and reduce greasiness, thus promoting the excretion of lipids from the body through feces. Therefore, regularly drinking Pu'er tea can play a certain role in weight loss.
Two: Increases bone density
Pu'er tea contains a variety of substances. Although it contains Caffeine, which can cause calcium to be lost through urination, the amount is extremely low. Instead, it contains more substances that help reduce calcium loss, including fluoride, phytoestrogens, and potassium. Studies have shown that regularly drinking moderate amounts of Pu'er tea can increase bone density and lower the risk of hip fractures.
Three: Lowers blood lipids
The lipid-lowering effect of Pu'er tea mainly involves reducing the cholesterol content in the blood. In Pu'er tea, chlorophyll not only hinders the digestion and absorption of cholesterol by the body but the presence of tea polyphenols and Vitamin C effectively promotes the elimination of cholesterol from the body.
Four: Prevents and treats coronary heart disease
Pu'er tea contains many beneficial substances for the human body. The tea polyphenols in it, when boiled, can continuously oxidize to form tea pigments, which have a clear anticoagulant, fibrinolytic, and anti-thrombotic effect. Therefore, developing the habit of drinking Pu'er tea has a good health-preserving effect on coronary heart disease caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries and thrombosis.
Five: Protects and nourishes the stomach
Pu'er tea can warm and nourish the stomach. At an appropriate concentration, drinking Pu'er tea can form a protective film in the gastrointestinal tract, creating a beneficial protective layer. Moreover, the caffeine and flavanols in it can increase gastrointestinal motility, which helps promote food digestion.
In addition to these benefits, drinking Pu'er tea contains many other substances beneficial to the human body. For example, it improves capillary function, lowers blood pressure, and has certain anti-aging effects. It also helps with hangovers, among other things. Therefore, drinking Pu'er tea provides numerous benefits for our bodies. We can drink moderate amounts of Pu'er tea over the long term to achieve a health-preserving and longevity-enhancing effect. Of course, although Pu'er tea has many benefits, we should also drink it according to our own physical condition. As there is a distinction between raw and ripe Pu'er tea, people with poor gastrointestinal function are advised to drink ripe Pu'er tea, which will help protect and nourish the stomach.
