Sacred lotus is a prized plant across Asia, and especially in China. And for good reason, ladies! This plant is said to be endowed with remarkable properties. So today, we’re taking a closer look at all the benefits this plant has to offer for the body. Stay with us — we’re sharing everything!
Sacred lotus: good for slimming?
Indeed, since ancient times, the Chinese have used lotus to support weight management and reduce the amount of lipids absorbed by the body. In fact, there’s even a legend surrounding this plant. We’ll tell you all about it — it’s quite a fun story.
Long ago, a very cruel emperor ruled over China. His ministers could have their heads cut off at any moment and for no real reason! Unsurprisingly, many of them were eager to resign. But to do so, they needed a solid excuse that wouldn’t upset the emperor. One of them began drinking litres of lotus leaf infusions. Seeing his sudden and dramatic weight loss, the emperor decided to send him home. Imagine his surprise when, all of a sudden, all his ministers became incredibly slim!
So, if it works for ministers, why not for us? 😋
But where does this property of sacred lotus come from?
According to scientists, it comes from a compound called “nucerine”, found in lotus leaves! Indeed, it is thought to help the body eliminate lipids more easily.
Experiments have actually been conducted on this in China. They found that giving lotus leaf infusions helped to lower blood lipid levels in approximately 91% of cases! As a result, this plant appears to help reduce glycerol and cholesterol levels. It may therefore be particularly well-suited for anyone looking to support their health in relation to high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or excess weight.
