What can be used to brew tea for lowering blood lipids?
Disease description:
My grandmother has slightly high blood lipids, and she happens to enjoy drinking tea. May I ask what kind of tea should be used to help reduce blood lipids?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Feng
Teas that can help lower blood lipid levels:
1. Green tea: The catechins in green tea help reduce blood lipids, increase the body's energy consumption and fat oxidation, thereby decreasing the absorption of fatty foods and achieving a lipid-lowering effect.
2. Pu'er tea: Pu'er tea contains catechins and various other nutrients, which can improve blood vessel elasticity and prevent lipid deposition, thus exerting a positive effect on lowering blood lipids.
3. Hawthorn fruit tea: Rich in vitamins, hawthorn fruit tea promotes blood circulation, increases coronary blood flow, and helps reduce or eliminate lipid deposition in the coronary arteries, thereby assisting in lowering blood lipids.
4. Chrysanthemum tea: The flavonoids present in chrysanthemum tea help reduce blood lipids and cholesterol levels, offering certain benefits in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia.
If blood lipid abnormalities are severe, prompt medical consultation and treatment are recommended.
