Nowadays, it's hard to imagine a meal without meat, but eating too much rich food can leave you feeling greasy. What foods can help you cut the grease after a meal?
1. Barley Tea
Have you ever noticed that Korean restaurants always offer a complimentary tea drink? That's barley tea. Barley is sweet in taste and neutral in nature, and is known to relieve bloating, soothe the stomach, quench thirst, boost energy, regulate the middle jiao, strengthen the blood, nourish the five organs, and aid digestion.
After a feast, a cup of strong barley tea can not only cut the grease but also promote digestion. Moreover, hot barley tea is soothing and warming for the stomach, making it suitable for people of all ages.

2. Garlic
Garlic contains an active component called allicin, which can lower blood lipids. So, after eating greasy food or feeling too full, you can have a few cloves of garlic. In particular, friends with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases can eat more garlic during holidays to reduce cholesterol and prevent blood clots.
3. Apples
As we all know, eating apples is good for your health. But did you know that breakfast is the best time to eat an apple? Eating it on an empty stomach can also help relieve constipation. Therefore, during the holidays, eating an apple before breakfast every day can not only keep your bowel movements regular and prevent weight gain, but also help flush out excess sodium from your body and maintain normal blood pressure.
4. Pure Milk
Pure milk is rich in calcium, which can reduce the body's absorption of cholesterol. In addition, drinking milk regularly can also improve dull and sallow skin. It's truly a multi-beneficial choice!
5. Pu'er Tea
Pu'er tea is rich in Vitamin B1, an essential element for burning fat in the body and converting it into energy. You can drink three cups of authentic Yunnan Pu'er tea daily during the holidays. It not only resolves the greasy feeling from eating rich foods but also gradually reduces fat in the blood, achieving a slimming effect.
Remember to cut the grease in moderation. Otherwise, eating too much of the foods mentioned above will either give you bad breath or make you feel even more bloated. It's like curing one illness only to bring on another.
