How can people with cold constitution drink tea to lose weight?

Cold constitution is a description of physical condition in traditional Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, people with cold constitution show gastrointestinal dysfunction or are very prone to symptoms of cold. A considerable number of people with cold constitution will appear bloated. At this time, they can lose weight by drinking tea. Let’s see how people with cold constitution can lose weight by drinking tea.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people’s physiques can be divided into two types: dry and hot, weak and cold. Tea also has cool and warm properties after different production processes, so there are also different ways to drink tea for different physiques. People with a hot constitution should drink cool tea, while people with a cold constitution should drink warm tea.

1. Green tea: People with allergies may vomit easily after drinking green tea. Most of China's famous teas are green teas. Since there is no fermentation step in the production process, their nutritional content is higher than other types, but their chlorophyll content is also higher, which has a greater irritation to the stomach and intestines. Patients with gastric ulcers cannot drink green tea.

2. Tieguanyin: Do not drink on an empty stomach. Tieguanyin is a semi-fermented tea. Due to its short fermentation period, it is still cold in nature, has outstanding fat-burning and digestion-promoting functions, and has a particularly strong tea aroma. But you can’t drink Tieguanyin on an empty stomach, otherwise, you will easily get tea drunk.

3. Oolong tea: must be brewed with 100℃ boiling water. Oolong tea is neither cold nor hot, but spicy, cool, sweet and moist. It is a neutral tea suitable for most people. Because the tea leaves are coarse and old, they must be brewed with 100℃ boiling water.

4. Dahongpao Tea: It is warm but not cold and does not hurt the stomach. It has a mellow taste and rich aroma. The fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks after drinking and lasts for a long time. After brewing 9 times, the original tea still has the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.

5. Pu'er tea: It is mild and mellow in nature, and has the effects of warming the stomach, lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. Long-term drinking is effective in reducing atherosclerosis and preventing cardiovascular diseases.
