Tea reduces visceral fat by mimicking the effect of fasting

Hương Giang (Theo Medical News Today) |

Drinking kombucha tea may help reduce visceral fat by mimicking the effects of fasting.

Probiotics in kombucha: Kombucha contains probiotic bacteria that can change the metabolism in the gut. When these bacteria enter the gut, they create changes similar to those that occur when the body is fasting.

Reduced fat accumulation: Research in worm models suggests that the bacteria in kombucha may reduce fat accumulation and triglyceride levels in the body. This may help reduce the risk of heart disease and other health problems associated with visceral fat.

How it works: The probiotic bacteria in kombucha can stimulate metabolic pathways similar to those found during fasting, even when the body is still receiving adequate nutrition. This can lead to reduced fat accumulation and improved liver function.

Other health benefits: In addition to reducing visceral fat, kombucha may also help improve gut health and lower cholesterol and high blood pressure.
