1).Lose Weight Food- Dark Tea. The most famous dark tea is Puer Tea, which is from Yunan, China. *Dark tea has obvious restraining effect to abdomen fat accumulating.
Just brewed and dense dark tea is the best choice if you want to lose weight by drinking dark tea. Further more, you should insist to drink 1.5 Litre each day,one cup before and after meals for long time.
*Note: Here "Dark tea" is not what westerners usually refer to "Chinese black tea". Its color is deeper than red(black) tea and is one of Chinese six tea categories(white tea, yellow tea, green tea, Oolong tea, black tea ,and dark tea).
Dark tea is made from fermented Aspergillus Niger. A Punuoer component is produced in the fermentation process, which played a role in preventing the accumulation of fat.
Somebody made a trial. Besides feedstuff with 1% cholesterol, feeding rats with water,green tea and dark tea respectively,16 consecutive weeks later,their weight increase and visceral weight increase have no difference. But observe the fat on their abdomen,the one feeding with dark tea reduced more than 1/3. The test data are, the abdominal fat of the rat feeding with water is 8.7 grams, 7.9 grams with green tea, only 5.3 grams with dark tea.
Dark tea already existed for more than 400 years and especially produced in China, mainly produced in minority areas of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi,etc.
Minorities such as Tibetan, Mongolian and Uigur drink dark tea and dark tea is these minorities' one of necessary daily drinks. Dark tea digests meat and fat, adjusting three metabolism (glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, water metabolism). That's one of the reasons that these minorities who take meat as main food are in low diabetes and prostate disease. Mongolian doctors think that dark tea is good to kidney.
For dark tea, the longer year to store,the better. But maybe we're not so used to its taste as these minorities,or maybe many people haven't found its value, dark tea is not so popular and no sales in other countries so far.
