Does cold weather help you lose weight? 6 cups of fat burning herbal tea to prevent freezing

Winter is a good time to lose weight! A research report from the Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands recently published in "Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism" shows that when the human body is exposed to cold air, it shivers, increases the amount of brown fat, and consumes up to 5 times more calories than in a warm environment! However, relying on "cold" to lose weight is too harmful to the body, and not everyone can "freeze". It is better to have some hot herbal tea, which can burn fat without freezing.

Rose flowers and mint leaves have the effects of diuresis and detumescence and promoting digestion respectively, and are common weight loss teas.

1. Dandelion tea: Brew hot tea with roasted dandelion roots. Its flavor and color are similar to coffee, but it does not contain caffeine. It can also improve the absorption of minerals, stabilize blood sugar levels, and prevent fat accumulation. The inulin in dandelion tea has the function of regulating the intestinal environment and can improve constipation.

2. Rooibos tea: rich in vitamin C and various minerals, does not contain caffeine, and has the effect of breaking down fat. A study in Spain found that Rooibos tea can prevent fat accumulation in the liver and prevent metabolic syndrome. The well-known domestic blogger "Mark Mama" also suggested that women who want to lose weight after childbirth can use "Rooibos tea" instead if they are not used to drinking only water all day.

3. Yerba mate tea: Originated from South America, yerba mate tea has a very high nutritional value. It is rich in vitamins B1 and B2, which can promote the metabolism of fat and protein. It also contains nutrients such as vitamin C, iron, calcium, and magnesium. It is known as the "drinkable salad" and can not only help lose weight, but also maintain a balanced nutrition and avoid discomfort such as weakness and diarrhea caused by weight loss.

In recent years, studies have found that catechins in green tea can increase metabolic rate and help lose weight.

4. Rose tea: Rose contains nutrients such as vitamins A, B3, C, D and E, which can prevent infection and protect the human body. According to Chinese medicine theory, rose has the effects of promoting blood circulation and relieving depression, beautifying the skin, moistening the intestines and facilitating bowel movements, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Since ancient times, it has often been used as a slimming tea for weight loss and oil removal.

5. Mint tea: Mint contains menthol, which can promote metabolism, remove greasiness, and relieve bloating. It and green tea have the function of promoting digestion and help burn more calories. The unique aroma of mint leaves makes them refreshing when brewed into tea, making them particularly suitable as an after-meal drink.

6. Green tea: If you want to drink tea to lose weight, you must not miss green tea. Studies have found that the catechins in green tea can increase the metabolic rate and help burn fat. Drinking 3 cups a day can burn up to 70 calories. It has become a very popular weight loss tea in recent years. Experts recommend that green tea tastes better when brewed with 85°C hot water for 2 to 3 minutes.

【Health Tips】

According to TCM theory, different types of herbs have their own special medicinal properties and effects. Drinking a cup of them occasionally can moisten your throat and satisfy your craving for flavored water. However, if you want to use it as a slimming drink, it is recommended that you first consult a physician specializing in weight loss or a TCM physician to assess whether your individual stomach and physical condition are suitable. Even if they are suitable, the dosage should be considered to avoid hurting your body instead of losing weight.
