Tannins Inhibit The Activity Of The New Coronavirus! Doctor: Drinking This High Content Can Also Reduce Fat And Promote Metabolism

Recently, a research team led by Hong Mingqi, President of China Medical University, found that "tannins" can inhibit the replication of the new coronavirus, thereby reducing the chance of infection. The research results were also published in the well-known journal "American Journal of Cancer Research". How much tannin do you need to eat to reach an effective concentration?

The research that tannins can inhibit the activity of the new coronavirus can be said to be a major breakthrough in anti-epidemic. Xiao Jiejian, the attending physician of weight management at Sanshu Orioles Clinic, pointed out on Facebook that bananas, grapes, strawberries and other fruits and tea are rich in tannins, and some people have even moved their heads to wine. Since then, there are more reasons to drink properly. A sort of. In fact, since the SARS era, there have been ideas and researches on using tannins to fight the SARS virus.

Xiao Jiejian explained that tannins can kill two birds with one stone in inhibiting the replication of coronavirus:

1. Tannins can inhibit the protease of the coronavirus, and the protease is an enzyme necessary for the virus to replicate.

2. Tannins can inhibit TMPRSS2 on the surface of human cells. When humans are infected with coronavirus, the virus will recognize this enzyme on the surface of human cells.

However, all experiments used pure tannins. If you want to take it from the prototype food, how much do you need to eat to inhibit the activity of the virus? Xiao Jiejian said that Professor Hong Mingqi once mentioned in an interview that in order to inhibit the concentration of tannins, red wine must be drunk about 1 liter to be effective.

Xiao Jiejian further stated that if he drinks every daySo much alcohol may cause health problems such as fatty liver and weakened immunity. In addition, if you eat too much bananas, grapes, strawberries and other fruits at the same time, it will lead to excessive stomach acid; if you eat it with meat, it will produce a tannin protein, which will slow down digestion and cause gastrointestinal discomfort or constipation.

Xiao Jiejian said that mildly fermented tea has higher tannin content, while roasted tea has lower tannin content. It is recommended to drink green tea. The catechins in it also reduce fat and promote metabolism. Effect. So, don't drink too much wine to prevent the new coronavirus.

"Health 2.0" reminds you

In response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the CDC continues to strengthen epidemic monitoring and border control measures, and wear a mask as instructed to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and actively inform the doctor of travel history and contact history, so as to facilitate timely Diagnosis and notification.
