What are the benefits of drinking Pu'er tea?

For thousands of years, Pu'er tea has been favored by consumers because of its excellent quality. In recent years, more in-depth research has been conducted on the physiological and pharmacological functions of Pu'er tea at home and abroad, and the functions of Pu'er tea have been further developed.

1. The efficacy of Pu'er tea

Pu'er tea can quench thirst, relieve heat, detoxify, and relieve constipation. It is especially suitable for girls who are troubled by constipation. With the help of Pu'er tea, they can regulate the stomach and restore normal function. It can completely solve the acne caused by constipation and the bad breath problem of "lady killer"; it can get rid of dull skin. One of the biggest effects of Pu'er tea is that it can reduce blood lipid content, dilate blood vessels, thereby accelerating blood circulation, and solve the dull skin and various annoying spots caused by poor blood circulation; it can slim and tighten the skin. Recent studies have found that Pu'er tea has a beauty effect and is known as the "new beauty" that can deeply detoxify. Drinking Pu'er tea regularly can achieve the effects of weight loss, lipid reduction, and blood pressure reduction.

First of all, Pu'er tea is mild in nature, warming the stomach without hurting it. This is especially true for cooked Pu'er tea. Generally, lightly fermented tea is indeed "unbearably light" for tea lovers, especially for modern people like us who drink tea all day and have an irregular diet. Under the long-term immersion of caffeine and tannic acid, we often feel the pain of searching our stomachs. I believe many people have experienced this firsthand.

Second, Pu'er tea can lower blood lipids. Many medical experiments have shown that drinking Pu'er tea can reduce blood lipids by 30% (depending on the individual). At the Modor Hospital in Créteil, 20 patients with hyperlipidemia were given 3 bowls of Yunnan Tuo tea a day. After one month, it was found that the fat in the patients' blood was reduced by almost 1/4, while the blood fat of patients who drank the same amount of other teas did not change significantly. [Professor Bernard Jacquet, Henri Lundeau Hospital, Paris]. From this, we can see the special effect of Pu'er tea in lowering blood lipids.

Third, if blood lipids are lowered, it will naturally lead to weight loss. In daily life, some people often say that Pu'er tea is not effective in weight loss, while others say it is effective. This contradiction comes from individual differences and different understandings of obesity. If blood lipids are not high, drinking Pu'er tea will not lower blood lipids.

Maipu believes that the above three effects of Pu'er tea are quite obvious. In fact, as early as in the Compendium of Materia Medica, there is a record that "Pu'er tea tastes bitter and sharp. It can remove greasy cattle and sheep poison... It can clean the intestines and relieve constipation", which mentions the effect of Pu'er tea in removing greasy and losing weight.

In addition, Chinese medicine also believes that Pu'er tea has the effects of clearing away heat, relieving summer heat, detoxifying, digesting food, removing greasiness, promoting diuresis, relieving constipation, removing phlegm, dispelling wind and relieving symptoms, relieving cough and promoting body fluid, invigorating qi, and prolonging life. These claims are just for the time being, after all, tea as medicine still requires some processing. The conclusion drawn by modern medicine on the effects of Pu'er tea is even more exaggerated, that is, Pu'er tea has more than 20 effects such as warming the stomach, reducing weight, lowering blood lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis, preventing coronary heart disease, lowering blood pressure, anti-aging, anti-cancer, lowering blood sugar, inhibiting bacteria and inflammation, reducing tobacco poisoning, reducing heavy metal poisoning, anti-radiation, preventing dental caries, improving eyesight, aiding digestion, resisting poisons, preventing constipation, and sobering up, and the effects of warming the stomach, reducing weight, lowering blood lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis, preventing coronary heart disease, lowering blood pressure, anti-aging, anti-cancer, and lowering blood sugar are particularly prominent.

2. The role of Pu'er tea

1. Reduce fat, lose weight, lower blood pressure, and prevent arteriosclerosis.

Dr. Amile Carroby, director of clinical teaching at Saint-Antoine Medical College in Paris, France, used Yunnan Pu'er Tuo Tea to prove in clinical trials: "Yunnan Pu'er Tea has a good effect on reducing lipid compounds and cholesterol content." Kunming Medical College in China also conducted 55 clinical trials on Yunnan Pu'er Tuo Tea to treat hyperlipidemia, and compared it with 31 cases treated with the lipid-lowering drug clofibrate. The efficacy of Pu'er Tea was higher than that of clofibrate. Long-term drinking of Pu'er Tea can reduce cholesterol and glycerol, so long-term drinking of Pu'er Tea has the function of treating obesity. Drinking Pu'er Tea can cause physiological effects such as vasodilation, lowering blood pressure, slowing heart rate and reducing brain blood flow, so it has a good therapeutic effect on patients with hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis.

2. Prevent and fight cancer.

Professors Liang Mingda and Hu Meiying have conducted more than ten years of research on the anti-cancer effect of Pu'er tea using cell culture and electronic industrial microscopy methods, and found that Pu'er tea has the strongest effect in killing cancer cells, and even ordinary people drinking tea at a concentration of 1% has a significant effect. Drinking Pu'er tea can prevent cancer.

3. Nourish and protect the stomach.

At the appropriate concentration, drinking mild Pu'er tea will not irritate the stomach and intestines. The sticky, sweet, mellow Pu'er tea forms a film when it enters the human stomach and intestines, which adheres to the surface of the stomach and creates a beneficial protective layer for the stomach. Long-term drinking of Pu'er tea can nourish and protect the stomach.

4. Keep your teeth healthy and protect your teeth.

Pu'er tea contains many physiologically active ingredients and has bactericidal and disinfecting effects. Professor Cao Jin of Hunan Medical University used Pu'er tooth-healthy tea to conduct an experiment on the ability to inhibit the adhesion of Proteus and found that Pu'er tooth-healthy tea has an effect of resisting plaque formation, with the best effect at a concentration of 1%.

5. Anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and anti-dysentery.

Medical research and clinical experiments have proved that Yunnan Pu'er tea has antibacterial effects. Taking strong tea juice ten times a day can treat bacterial dysentery. This is directly related to the rich tea polyphenols in Yunnan large-leaf tea.

6. Anti-aging.

The catechin compounds in tea have anti-aging effects. The total amount of catechins contained in Yunnan large-leaf tea is higher than that of other tea varieties, and its anti-aging effect is better than other teas. At the same time, during the processing of Pu'er tea, large molecular polysaccharides are converted into a large number of new soluble monosaccharides and oligosaccharides, and vitamin C increases exponentially. These substances play an important role in improving the function of the human immune system, and have the effect of maintaining health and prolonging life.
