Don't wait! Drink a cup of tea after a meal to lower cholesterol immediately

Delicious food is right before your eyes, but losing weight and fat will always happen after tomorrow? Taiwan's delicious food is everywhere, and many people cannot resist the temptation. Unrestricted intake often causes excessive cholesterol in the blood, leading to obesity and metabolic syndrome. If you can’t control your appetite, you might want to refer to the Chinese medicine doctor’s suggestion of “a cup of tea after a meal”. If you drink it right, your body’s metabolism will be improved, and excess cholesterol and fat will be “bye bye!”

Lowers cholesterol! Improve your body's metabolism first

TCM physician Huang Huijuan said that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, a high cholesterol index is mainly caused by poor circulation of qi and blood in the liver, gallbladder and spleen meridians, and is closely related to a phlegm-damp constitution. Clinical treatment often uses phlegm-dampness-resolving drugs such as Pinellia, Tangerine Peel and Poria as the main prescription. In addition, according to different combined physical conditions and symptoms, corresponding medicinal formulas are added or subtracted to regulate the functions of internal organs and promote metabolism.

Drinking the right after-meal tea can also improve the body's metabolism and help metabolize excess cholesterol and fat.

Generally speaking, people who have obesity problems, excessive body fat, greasy diet, and love to eat meat can use hawthorn and Fritillaria to remove oil and greasiness; people with poor blood circulation and easy blood stasis should add or subtract the use of Chinese medicines such as salvia miltiorrhiza and red peony root that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis; people with phlegm-dampness constitution and qi deficiency constitution, in addition to removing phlegm and dampness, can also use astragalus to replenish qi, improve the body's metabolism, and promote the excretion of cholesterol and fat.

Metabolic capacity UP! Choose health tea according to your physical condition

Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Huijuan said that just as eating too much sugar does not necessarily lead to diabetes, high cholesterol is not necessarily the result of eating too much food. The key lies in the metabolic problems caused by organ dysfunction. Therefore, the first priority in lowering cholesterol is to improve metabolic capacity. Regular exercise and a cup of suitable health tea after meals are both simple and easy ways to do so. As for diet control, eating less high-fat foods and reducing eating out, although the effect is not as good as improving the body's metabolic function, it is also a good helper to lower cholesterol!

According to traditional Chinese medicine, a high cholesterol index is mainly caused by poor circulation of qi and blood in the liver, gallbladder and spleen meridians, and is closely related to a phlegm-damp constitution.
