The healthy benefits of Chinese tea
Chinese tea is made from a variety of plants for a variety of reasons. Chrysanthemum flower tea is one very common type. Drunk with meals it helps to aid digestion, especially of greasy foods. It is also commonly taken to help strengthen the lungs, relieve head congestion (tension headaches) and balance the “yangness” or “heatiness” in our body. When made from fresh flowers, the flowers can be applied to the eyes to relieve dryness and itching. In China, chrysanthemum tea is now being recommended for office workers exposed to Video Display Terminals (VDTs).To make this healthy tea - to a teapot that can contain 500 ml of water - add 2 tbsp of chrysanthemum bud tea, 2 tbsp of Chinese wolfberries (gei ji) and 3 slices of dried licourice (kam choe). Fill up with boiling hot water. Steep for 5 minutes before drinking. When teapot is empty, pour hot water again for a second round.
There has been research that suggests the Chinese tea may trigger weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and decreasing body fat.
Certainly I believe that Chinese tea should be a part of any person's healthy lifestyle, whether you plan to use it as an aid for dieting and healthy weight loss or not. But, I don't believe that green tea is some magical solution to weight loss.
From my personal experiences with trying to maintain a healthy weight and diet, I have found that I typically tend to gain weight when
- I am emotionally stressed
- I am not maintaining a balance lifestyle
- I am not taking the time to enjoy my meals
- I am not paying attention to what I eat
Drinking of Chinese tea has a number of benefits to the human body. Since the tea has cooling properties, then a Chinese tea can be a good choice of refreshments during hot season.
If all these claims about chinese tea are true, then we can all switch to drinking Chinese tea regularly to maintain a healthy weight level.
