Healthy and without burden! Buckwheat tea is a low GI drink that can give you energy

Drinking tea has many benefits, it is healthy, refreshing and good for your health! Especially for office workers who want to replenish their physical strength but do not want to consume too much sugar, which will cause their blood sugar to fluctuate and make them feel poorly energetic, choosing whole grain foods with a lower GI value, such as foods or drinks made from buckwheat, brown rice, and oats, is a good choice.

In addition to replenishing physical strength, it is also important for office workers to prevent obesity in order to stay away from the threat of many chronic diseases. Studies have found that consuming large amounts of high-GI foods, such as refined starchy foods, white flour, white toast, white bread, white rice, etc., will cause blood sugar to rise rapidly, resulting in excessive insulin secretion, forming body fat, and leading to an obesity crisis.

Choosing low GI whole grains is good for your health

Choosing low GI whole grain foods, such as buckwheat, brown rice, oats, etc., can help control blood sugar levels. Take buckwheat as an example. In addition to being a low GI whole grain food, it is also rich in vitamin E and water-soluble dietary fiber. The dietary fiber content is 10 times that of ordinary refined rice, and trace elements such as iron, manganese, and zinc are also richer than ordinary grains. Moderate intake is good for health.

The characteristic of water-soluble dietary fiber is that it can wrap sugars, prolong the residence time of food in the intestines, and help reduce the absorption rate of glucose, so blood sugar will not rise rapidly after eating, which is beneficial for blood sugar control. In addition, it cannot be digested smoothly after entering the intestines, but can absorb a large amount of water, increase intestinal peristalsis, and facilitate defecation.

The ancient Chinese medical book "Compendium of Materia Medica" also recorded that buckwheat has the effects of lowering blood lipids and improving eyesight and hearing. Buckwheat seeds are even known as "intestinal cleansing grass" in Japan, and can be ground into powder to make low-calorie "buckwheat noodles". Not only is buckwheat rich in vitamins B1 and B2, which can reduce fat accumulation, but it also helps with the absorption of vitamin C. When eaten with fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, it helps enhance antioxidant capacity and prevent aging.

Buckwheat is rich in nutrients and suitable for nutritional supplementation

Buckwheat is divided into "common buckwheat" (sweet buckwheat) and "Tatar buckwheat" (golden buckwheat, bitter buckwheat). Currently, most buckwheat teas on the market are "sweet buckwheat". The biggest difference between the two is that bitter buckwheat is rich in various nutritional values, and the tea soup is golden when brewed into tea, so it is also called "golden buckwheat". It contains quercetin (Querectin), inositol hexaphosphate (D-Chiro-inositol), and trace elements such as iron, selenium, zinc, chromium, cobalt and nickel, making it suitable as a nutritional supplement.

Normally, if you drink moderate amounts of golden buckwheat tea, which is roasted and matured at low temperatures and has a unique aroma, you can brew it with hot water. The tea soup will be golden in color, very pleasing to the eye, with a special taste and easy to drink. When choosing buckwheat, it is best to pay attention to whether it has passed the SGS test to ensure that it is safe and healthy. Although eating buckwheat has many benefits, for people with poor stomachs, consuming too much high-fiber may cause a burden, so it should be consumed in moderation.
