In fact, you should drink black tea in summer. Many people have some misunderstandings about tea, thinking that green tea should be drunk in spring and summer, and autumn and winter are the destination of black tea. However, in today's society, people's ways of heatstroke prevention and cooling have changed. Instead of sitting under a big tree and fanning with a cattail leaf fan, they all got into the air-conditioned room, ate popsicles and drank cold drinks in an attempt to avoid the heat and high temperature. In this way, the picture is temporary, but it will cause long-term harm to the body. If you want to be really healthy, it is a very good choice to drink black tea in the summer without hurting your health. There are several reasons for this.
First, black tea can dispel cold and warm the stomach, especially in summer.
Modern people hide in air-conditioned rooms in summer, and blowing air conditioners for a long time has some adverse effects on their health. In addition, eating a lot of cold drinks and popsicles leads to pore blockage and cold air in the body. Over time, there will inevitably be sub-health air-conditioning diseases, and even cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
As a completely fermented tea, black tea is very mild and has little irritation. You can drink it all year round. Especially in summer, a cup of warm black tea can make the pores of the body open quickly and let the cold in the body be discharged with sweat. At the same time, in order to achieve better heatstroke prevention and cooling effect, drinking hot tea is healthier and more reasonable than drinking cold drinks. Black tea contains polyphenols, sugars, amino acids, catechins and other nutrients, which can accelerate metabolism in the body and effectively achieve the purposes of promoting fluid production, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
Second, be greedy and drink more black tea in summer.
For those who love food, it's like entering a paradise in summer. All kinds of barbecue crayfish and beer supper, from morning till night. This diet is not particularly healthy. Especially in the case of overeating, it will increase the burden on the body.
If you don't want to make the spleen and stomach more fragile, you should protect it better. Black tea can play a role in maintaining and regulating sub-health status. Because black tea can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, help beneficial bacteria in the body to improve the balance in the body, protect the stomach and promote digestion and absorption. So friends who overeat in summer should drink more tea, especially black tea.
Third, stay up late in summer and drink more black tea to relieve fatigue.
In summer in the northern hemisphere, it gets dark late, but it gets dawn early. If we can't fully guarantee the sleep time every day, it is also against the way of keeping in good health. Many office workers have to work overtime at night, and it's already eleven or twelve when they get home. They can't sleep for a while and often stay up late. Get up at five or six in the morning and go to work before the morning rush hour. This kind of irregular work and rest is very harmful to the body.
If you don't get an effective rest at noon, it will easily lead to mental depression and low work efficiency. Black tea contains caffeine, which can stimulate nerves, speed up blood circulation, make oneself more energetic, and achieve the purpose of refreshing and eliminating fatigue. Of course, the most suitable time to drink black tea in a day is after 10 in the morning and afternoon, and it is best not to drink it two hours before going to bed at night. Especially those friends who often suffer from insomnia, drinking tea before going to bed may keep them awake. Don't drink tea after getting up in the morning. From a health point of view, drinking tea on an empty stomach will also bring a certain burden to the body.
