What kind of tea is good for lowering blood lipids and blood sugar?

Diabetes and high blood lipids are now very common diseases. These diseases were not very common before when people’s living standards were not high. These diseases, also known as affluence diseases, are gradually endangering people’s health. Many people are trying their best to get rid of these diseases and want to lower blood lipids and blood sugar, but they don’t know what to do. In fact, drinking tea can solve these problems. So, what kind of tea is good?

1. The first one that only a few people know about is the green radish tea

Let us first introduce the Tibetan green radish flower to you. It is a good news for diabetic patients to help lower blood sugar. You can usually soak 4-5 flowers a day and drink it as tea. It is very effective in lowering blood sugar. There is no evidence, let's look at the relevant research:

Studies have found that the petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extracts of Tibetan scindapsus flower extract have a strong inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase. Therefore, Tibetan green radish flowers and their extracts can lower blood sugar and promote insulin secretion, and can be used to prepare drugs for the treatment of diabetes.

There are not many specialized pharmacological studies on Tibetan green radish flowers at present, but the practical experience of the vast majority of Tibetan compatriots for thousands of years has confirmed that green radish flowers do have the effect of lowering blood sugar and blood pressure! To this end, Professor Zhang Kun, Xu Xuetao, Du Zhiyun and others from the School of Chemical Engineering of Guangdong University of Technology conducted scientific and rigorous pharmacological research and in vivo experiments on mice. The results showed that the extract of Tibetan green radish flowers does have the effect of lowering blood sugar and blood pressure, and the effect is more obvious than acarbose, a commonly used diabetes drug.

2. Kuding tea lowers blood sugar

Kuding tea is an evergreen tree of the Kuding tea species of the genus Ilex of the Aquifoliaceae family. It is commonly known as Chading, Fuding tea, and Gaolu tea. It is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Fujian and other places. It is a traditional pure natural health beverage in my country. Kuding tea contains more than 200 ingredients including kuding saponins, amino acids, vitamin C, polyphenols, flavonoids, caffeine, protein, etc. The finished tea is fragrant and tastes bitter but then sweet and cool. It has many functions such as clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, improving eyesight and improving intelligence, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, promoting diuresis and strengthening the heart, moistening the throat and relieving cough, lowering blood pressure and losing weight, inhibiting cancer and preventing cancer, anti-aging, and activating blood circulation. It is known as "health tea", "beauty tea", "weight loss tea", "blood pressure lowering tea", and "longevity tea". In recent years, research on Kuding tea has focused on the nutritional and health aspects of processing finished tea and tea beverages. A variety of health foods have been successfully developed, including bagged Kuding tea, Kuding tea granules, Kuding tea lozenges, and compound Kuding tea. At present, research on the cultivation, processing, physiology, biochemistry and application of Kuding Tea is very active, but the research on its fine processing, deep processing, trade and physiological and biochemical mechanisms, especially the functional components of Kuding Tea, needs further in-depth exploration to promote the development of Kuding Tea beverage resource utilization.

For patients with diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, after lowering blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar by drinking Kuding tea, the drinking concentration can be appropriately reduced, but do not stop completely to avoid recurrence of the disease. If you drink bitter gourd tea in the right concentration, you can still lower your blood pressure and blood lipids within 20 to 30 days. This is also the value of Kuding tea.

Patients should pay attention to their diet, not too greasy but light, exercise more, control calorie intake, eat more vegetable oil and less animal oil, try not to eat animal offal, eat more beans, lean meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits, pay more attention to rest, do not eat raw, cold and irritating foods, maintain a good mood, and do not drink strong tea.
