Khaberni - A recent medical study showed that consuming "Fu Chuan" Chinese tea helps fight fat accumulation in the body.
During the experiments conducted on laboratory rats, the researchers divided the rats into three groups: a group on a normal diet, a group on a high-fat diet, and a group on a high-fat diet supplemented with extracts from "Fu Chuan" Chinese tea.
The results showed that the animals that received the tea extract with their diet had significantly reduced rates of fat accumulation in their bodies, and the tea helped to alter the composition of gut microbes in the rats and activated metabolic pathways related to fat processing, including increased expression of genes responsible for fatty acid oxidation.
The researchers confirmed that the results obtained were conducted on laboratory animals, so they cannot be directly applied to humans before extended clinical trials are performed, but they suggest the possibility of benefiting from the tea in the future as an element in a diet to combat obesity.
"Fu Chuan" tea is a Chinese tea pressed into cubes or small cylinders after being subjected to prolonged microbial fermentation processes, and the fermentation produces types of beneficial bacteria for intestinal function and bioactive compounds that improve food metabolism processes in the body according to some health experts.
