Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Can people with lupus drink Pu-erh tea?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a type of rheumatic immune disease. For the most part, diet has no significant impact on it, so it is considered that you can drink Pu-erh tea. Pu-erh tea itself does not have a distinction between raw and ripe tea; relatively speaking, the content of caffeine in raw tea is a bit higher, which can easily lead to increased deep sleep. Therefore, you can decide that ripe tea is better. As for lowering blood lipids, Pu-erh tea does not have significant effects. Although it is consumed with meat and food, drinking Pu-erh tea can make it easier to absorb, but it does not have the effect of lowering blood lipids.
