Drinking tea has many benefits, but you should know that you have to drink different teas in different seasons. It's getting colder after autumn, so drinking black tea is perfect. Black tea is warm and can help women warm their stomachs and drive away cold. Drink tea for health in autumn and learn several kinds of black tea for health.
Four Benefits of Drinking Black Tea in Autumn
First, black tea can warm the body and resist the cold.
In autumn and winter, the physiological function of human body decreases, the yang is weakened, and the requirements for energy and nutrition are higher. Soaking a cup of warm black tea in autumn can not only warm the body, but also prevent diseases. Black tea is sweet and warm, which can nourish human yang, and the soup is reddish, which can give people a warm feeling.
Black tea is rich in protein and sugar, which generates heat and warms the abdomen, and can enhance the cold resistance of human body. Some parts of our country have the habit of drinking black tea with sugar and milk, which can not only warm the abdomen, but also increase nutrition and keep fit.
Second, black tea can nourish the stomach.
Tea polyphenols contained in tea have astringent effect, which has a certain stimulating effect on the stomach, and it is more irritating on an empty stomach, so sometimes drinking tea on an empty stomach will make you feel uncomfortable. Black tea is fermented and baked, and tea polyphenols are enzymatically oxidized under the action of oxidase, which reduces the content and stimulates the stomach.
Black tea not only won't hurt the stomach, but also nourish it. The oxidation products of tea polyphenols in black tea can promote human digestion. Drinking black tea with sugar and milk often can diminish inflammation, protect gastric mucosa and have a certain effect on treating ulcers.
However, black tea is not suitable for cold drinks, which will affect the effect of nourishing and warming the stomach, and may also reduce the nutritional content because it is left for too long.
Third, black tea can help digestion.
Black tea can get rid of greasy, help digestion, stimulate appetite and enhance heart function. When you feel greasy and bloated in your daily diet, drink more black tea to reduce greasy and promote digestion.
Big fish and big meat often make people indigestion. Drinking black tea at this time can eliminate greasy, help digestion of the stomach and contribute to good health.
Fourth, black tea can prevent colds.
When the weather gets cold, the human body's resistance drops and it is easy to catch a cold, and black tea can prevent colds. Black tea has strong antibacterial ability. Gargling with black tea can filter viruses to prevent colds, prevent tooth decay and food poisoning, and lower blood sugar and high blood pressure.
Black tea is sweet and rich in protein and sugar, which can enhance the body's resistance. Gargling or drinking directly can also prevent influenza. Because of its full fermentation and weak irritation, black tea is especially suitable for people with weak stomach and body.

Tip: How to make a good pot of black tea?
Brewing water
Because there is a lot of chlorine in tap water at home, let it stand in a big container for one night and boil it after chlorine is lost. In addition, the air in boiling water has been reduced, and if it is used for two times of boiling and brewing, the unique aroma and color of black tea will be greatly reduced.
As for the brewing water temperature, it should be between 90~ 100℃. The most accurate method is to measure with a thermometer, but it's not interesting. The general practice is to let the water boil and turn off the fire for a while before brewing. The waiting time depends on the room temperature.
Brewing time
If the brewing time is too long, all the tannins and catechins in the tea will be released, making the tea soup bitter. On the contrary, if the brewing time is too short and the amino acids in tea are not released enough, the sweetness of black tea will not be brewed, and the tea soup will have obvious water taste.
If it is difficult to control the time, another convenient method is "high flushing method", that is, holding the hot water kettle high, so that there will be a buffer when hot water is injected into the kettle, which will also play a role in cooling down.
Brewing apparatus
The attractive aroma of black tea is mainly emitted by hot air. If boiling water is poured directly into the cold teapot and then into the cold teacup, the heat will be greatly reduced and the fragrance will not be exerted.
So before brewing, the teapot should be scalded with hot water, and the teacup should be filled with hot water. When the tea leaves are soaked, drop all the water in the cup, and then pour the brewed tea soup.
If there are still tea leaves in the teapot, it is best to cover it with a heat preservation cover to keep the tea warm, especially when drinking tea in autumn and winter, the tea temperature drops instantly, and the heat preservation cover is one of the necessary props.
