Tea Selection Guide for People with Different Constitutions Tea in China is mainly divided into six categories: green tea, black tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, white tea and black tea. Each kind of tea has different properties and different effects on human body, so the suitable physique is also different. So, how to choose the right tea according to your constitution?

The human body is divided into cold and hot constitutions, and the difference in tea production technology leads to the difference in coolness and warmth of tea, so the best tea products suitable for people with different constitutions are also different. Generally speaking, people with hot and dry constitution are suitable for drinking herbal tea, while those with deficient and cold constitution are suitable for choosing warm tea. The specific manifestations are as follows: for people who are prone to get angry in daily life and those who have the habit of smoking and drinking, it is more appropriate to drink herbal tea; However, it is suitable for drinking warm tea if the stomach is deficient and prone to diarrhea, loose stool and weak constitution.

Guide to tea selection for special people

Obesity: For obese people, reducing fat and weight is the key, so oolong tea and black tea are the first choice. Oolong tea is a part of "fermented" tea, which contains ingredients that promote fat digestion and decomposition, which is conducive to preventing fat accumulation and inhibiting obesity; Black tea is "fermented" by Aspergillus Niger and contains Puno, which is beneficial to inhibit the increase of abdominal fat. These two kinds of tea are suitable for drinking before and after meals 1 hour, and the newly brewed strong tea has better weight loss effect.

Frequent exposure to X-rays: People who have been exposed to X-rays for a long time have decreased white blood cells and decreased immunity. They should always drink green tea or white tea to effectively resist radiation damage. If you are a radiologist or a scientific researcher who is often exposed to radiation, you might as well drink more green tea and white tea.

Diabetic patients: Tea polysaccharide (an acidic glycoprotein) in tea is of great benefit to diabetic patients, and soaking tea polysaccharide in cold water is less likely to be destroyed than soaking tea polysaccharide in hot water, so the curative effect will not be reduced, so diabetic patients can drink "cold water tea" as much as possible (that is, making tea with cold water). In addition, coarse old white tea, green tea and black tea contain more tea polysaccharides, which are more suitable for diabetics to drink.

Guide to tea selection in four seasons

There are four distinct seasons in China, with warm spring, hot summer, cool autumn and cold winter as the climate characteristics in most parts of China. In different seasons, the various functions of the human body will also change, and the effect of tea on the human body is also different. If you want to keep pace with your health, you might as well find a way to drink tea with reference to the four seasons.

In spring, a scented tea came, which was pleasant in fragrance and relieved the spring sleepiness.

When winter goes and spring comes, the earth warms up and everything recovers, but people generally feel sleepy and weak, which is manifested as "spring sleep". Spring is also a time when all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms are easy to grow, reproduce and cause trouble. At this time, drinking a cup of scented tea can not only relieve the spring sleep, but also eliminate germs and prevent the flu. Scented tea combines the beauty of tea taste and the beauty of flowers. Tea soup is mellow and sweet, which can be described as a treasure in tea. You can choose jasmine, gardenia, osmanthus, rose, calendula, lavender and other scented teas, put them in a transparent glass cover cup, brew with boiling water at about 90℃, cover the cup, and drink them after 2 ~ 3 minutes.

A cup of green tea in summer can relieve summer heat.

It is common sense that summer heat is yang evil, and people are prone to excessive heart fire, heavy physical exertion and low spirits under summer heat. Therefore, it is advisable to drink cool green tea in summer, and the green leaves in clear soup are fragrant, giving people a cool feeling, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, and regulating the stomach. There are many treasures in green tea, such as West Lake Longjing, Lu 'an Guapian, Xinyang Maojian, Taiping Monkey Kui, etc., all of which are top grades and are the best products to cool off summer heat and remove fire.

Qiu Lai has a pot of oolong, full of affection, nourishing autumn dryness.

In the autumn season, the air is crisp and the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot, which is a relatively comfortable season. However, while enjoying the beautiful season, we have to guard against autumn dryness. Autumn dryness is the most harmful to the lungs, so autumn tea should mainly moisten and nourish the lungs, among which oolong tea is the most ideal. Because oolong tea is between green tea and black tea, it is neither hot nor cold. It has the effects of moistening throat, promoting fluid production, moistening skin and promoting granulation, and eliminating accumulated heat in the body, which can not only eliminate residual heat in the body, but also restore body fluid. At the same time, oolong tea has outstanding anti-fatigue effect.

A cup of black tea in winter is as bright as amber and warm.

In winter, the weather is freezing, everything is dormant, the cold is attacking people, the physiological function of human body is declining, and the yang is gradually declining. Black tea is mild in nature, mellow in taste and rich in protein and sugar. Drinking in winter can nourish the body, store the yang, generate heat and warm the abdomen, thus enhancing the adaptability of the human body to the winter climate, so drinking black tea in winter is the best. In addition, people's appetite increases in winter and eat more greasy food. Drinking black tea can also relieve greasy, increase appetite, help to keep healthy, and make the human body better adapt to changes in the natural environment.

People who are not suitable for drinking tea

Drinking tea has many advantages, but it doesn't mean that everyone is suitable for drinking tea. For example, some people in special physiological cycles and some patients with diseases will be more or less constrained and have to "say goodbye" to their favorite tea. Really helpless, but for the sake of health, people who are not suitable for drinking tea should strictly avoid eating from today!

Osteoporosis

Drinking strong tea for a long time can easily lead to the loss of calcium. Caffeine in strong tea will promote the excretion of calcium in urine and inhibit the absorption of calcium in intestine, so it is best not to drink strong tea water for osteoporosis.

hyperthermia

Theophylline contained in strong tea can easily raise human body temperature, and because tea has diuretic effect, drinking tea can easily reduce the efficacy of some antipyretic drugs, so people with high fever should not drink it.

Chronic drug addict

Tannin and theophylline in tea mostly react with drugs. For example, some components in hypnotic and sedative drugs, iron supplements and drugs containing protein are easy to react with tea polyphenols to generate precipitated substances, thus seriously affecting the curative effect. Chinese herbal medicines such as Herba Ephedrae, Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis and Rhizoma Coptidis should not be mixed with tea, so as not to affect the curative effect and damage health.

neurosism

Tea contains a lot of caffeine. According to related research reports, the caffeine in 1 cup of strong tea is as high as 100 mg, which will greatly improve the brain excitability, accelerate blood flow and heartbeat, and easily lead to insomnia or sleep difficulties, especially for neurasthenia patients.

Ulcer patient

Tea will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, increase the stimulation to the ulcer surface, thus aggravating the condition, so patients with ulcers should not drink tea. However, patients with mild ulcer can drink light tea after taking medicine for 2 hours, or add appropriate amount of sugar or milk to black tea to play an anti-inflammatory and protective role of gastric mucosa.

Patients with urinary calculi

Tea contains a lot of oxalic acid, and urinary calculi are mostly calcium oxalate crystals, so patients with urinary calculi should not absorb more oxalic acid from tea, so as not to stimulate the growth of calcium oxalate in urinary tract and make the condition worse.

pregnant woman

Tea contains tannic acid, which is easy to combine with iron in food to form compounds that are not easily absorbed by human body. If pregnant women drink tea, especially strong tea, it is easy to cause symptoms of anemia during pregnancy, and the baby will also have symptoms of congenital iron deficiency anemia.

children

Tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which is easy to combine with trace elements such as calcium, iron and zinc in human body to form insoluble substances, thus hindering children's digestion and absorption of these substances, seriously interfering with the absorption and utilization of protein and fat in gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to children's growth and development.
