Qingxin Oolong is rich in tea hunger hormones and increases appetite by 5 times

Taiwanese people love to drink "tea", especially a cup of oolong tea one hour after a meal, which can help burn fat, promote metabolism, and slim the belly. According to a study conducted by the Institute of Biotechnology at National Chung Hsing University, Qingxin Oolong not only has a charming unique aroma and throat taste, but is also rich in "tea hunger hormones" that can increase appetite by 5 times, making the drinker feel obviously hungry and gastrointestinal motility, but will not increase food intake.

Oolong tea is a well-known tea in Taiwan, and Qingxin Oolong is an excellent tree species for making this type of tea. It is the variety with the largest planting area in Taiwan. Oolong tea belongs to the category of green tea. In Taiwan, oolong tea mainly refers to the tea that is "from the oolong tea variety and processed in the oolong tea method", and Qingxin Oolong has become the most suitable source of green tea for making high-quality oolong tea.

Ghrelin conveys hunger signals

Why was "Tea Hunger Factor" discovered? Professor Zhizheng Zeng of the Institute of Biotechnology at National Chung Hsing University said that researchers have found that drinking Qingxin Oolong tea can produce a feeling of hunger and promote gastrointestinal motility, which is very similar to the physiological effects induced by ghrelin. Therefore, it is bold to speculate that Qingxin Oolong tea soup should contain ingredients that can be absorbed into the body through oral administration and can perform the same function as ghrelin; moreover, this active ingredient should be unique to Qingxin Oolong tea, or the content should be significantly higher than other common Taiwanese oolong teas.

What is ghrelin? The feeling of hunger is mainly regulated by the hypothalamus in the central nervous system, and ghrelin is the main hormone signal molecule that transmits hunger messages in the human body. It also directly controls the secretion of growth hormone and regulates important physiological functions such as metabolism, energy balance, memory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal motility. The insufficient secretion of growth hormone has been proven to be closely related to the physiological phenomenon of aging.

In order to understand the component of Qingxin Oolong tea that can produce hunger and promote gastrointestinal motility, the laboratory invested more than ten years of research and named it "teaghrelin". It imitates the induction molecular mechanism of ghrelin and combines with ghrelin receptors to induce hunger, gastrointestinal emptying, stimulate growth hormone secretion and other physiological effects.

Qingxin Oolong can increase appetite 5 times

Studies have found that all types of tea contain tea horny ingredients. Qingxin Oolong can increase appetite by 5 times, while Tieguanyin, Wuyi Tea, Baihao Oolong can increase appetite by 2 times. Because of the effect of tea ghrelin, it can activate the body's functions, make the whole body move, and make people have an appetite without causing obesity due to eating too much.

【Tea Drinking Tips】:

Drinking tea has many health benefits. No matter whether it is black tea, green tea or oolong tea, they are rich in tea polyphenols, tannins, vitamin C and other ingredients, which have the effects of anti-oxidation, reducing free radicals and anti-aging.
