Gynostemma pentaphyllum is derived from the buds and tendrils in the axils of Gynostemma pentaphyllum leaves, and contains saponins, amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients, which have the functions of lowering blood lipid and mediating the three levels, but there is no clear scientific proof of its weight loss effect. Gynostemma pentaphyllum itself is a cold medicine, which will affect the digestive function of gastrointestinal tract for a long time, resulting in indigestion of food. Therefore, some people will become thinner and thinner after taking Gynostemma pentaphyllum, which is actually a misconception. Weight loss still depends on exercise and a reasonable diet, not just drugs.
How to drink Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea correctly
1, tea selection
Gracilaria lemaneiformis tea is the best in the shape of strips, while Dragon Pearl tea and round Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea are mixed with many impurities, and some merchants add some rotten leaves and stems to them to make them, so you can't see them without careful selection.
2. Put in tea
The weight of drinking Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea should be judged according to its own actual situation. Usually, if the drinker drinks Gynostemma pentaphyllum only needs to prevent the disease, improve the resistance and achieve the purpose of disease-free health care, then the drinking amount should not be too much, and it can be less than 3 grams a day. If the drinker suffers from hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other symptoms, the amount of drinking can be appropriately increased.
3. Water injection
The temperature of the water for soaking Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea should not be too low, because the saponin in Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea can only be dissolved at 80℃ or above. Therefore, when soaking Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea, boiling water with a temperature of 100℃ should be injected, and about 500ml can be injected each time. In this way, the effective components of Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea can be fully leached, and the tea color and good taste can be maintained.
4, stuffy bubble
Different from traditional tea, Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea has a good health care and therapeutic effect, so it needs to be covered with stuffy foam for a long time, at least for more than 6 minutes, so that its medicinal components can be completely immersed in tea soup.
5. Taste and drink
Drinking Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea should be hot, but not hot. You can drink it when the water temperature is warm but not hot. When drinking, you should first take a sip, slowly feel the bitter taste of tea before the sweet taste, then slowly increase the consumption, and then continue to brew for 2-3 times repeatedly after drinking, so as to soak up the effective components of Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea as much as possible, and don't waste it.
What should I pay attention to when drinking Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea?
1, avoid hot water to wash tea, because high temperature will dissolve the nutrients in Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea, and the nutrients will be lost after the washed tea is poured out, so wash tea with cold water.
2. Don't pour out the tea for the first time. There are a lot of bubbles in the tea brewed by Gynostemma pentaphyllum for the first time. This bubble is produced by saponin, the effective component of Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Drinking it often is good for health without any side effects.
3, it is best to drink a small amount for the first time, and you can increase the amount after the body adapts. If you want to pursue faster results, it is better to make some strong tea to drink, but you must ensure that you are comfortable and have no abnormal reactions.
