Keywords: green tea Green tea should be cool in summer
As the saying goes, "Drink scented tea in spring, green tea in summer, green tea in autumn and black tea in winter." Although these kinds of tea can be drunk in any season, some experts believe that tea can be divided into cold and hot and warm and cold. Green tea has the effects of clearing away heat, reducing dryness, quenching thirst, promoting fluid production, relieving summer heat and refreshing, and is more suitable for drinking in summer.
Green tea also contains caffeine, tea polyphenols, vitamins and other nutrients, which is beneficial for the human body to digest excess nutrients such as fat. Green tea also contains theanine and other ingredients, which helps the human body to eliminate free radicals and enhance cardiovascular activities, thus achieving health care effects such as improving immunity and anti-aging.
Key words: hot tea cools down and relieves summer heat.
Drinking tea in summer, how can we cool off the heat more effectively? Experienced tea drinkers know that only drinking hot tea will make people feel more comfortable. The temperature of hot tea can promote human perspiration, so that the heat in the body can be taken away by the heat dissipation of sweat evaporation; The more sweat evaporates, the more heat the human body emits. Medical research shows that after drinking hot tea 10 minutes, the body surface temperature can drop 1~2℃ for about 20 minutes.
In addition, caffeine and other ingredients in hot tea can also stimulate the kidneys and promote excretion, thus accelerating the heat dissipation of the human body and achieving the effect of cooling and relieving summer heat.
Key words: light tea is more effective to replenish water.
In summer, people sweat a lot, and sweat will take away sodium, potassium, magnesium and other elements in the body, which makes people sleepy. Tea contains caffeine and other ingredients, which will stimulate nerves; Tea polyphenols and other substances can react with saliva, moisten the mouth, and bring the effects of promoting fluid production to quench thirst and refreshing the brain.
Although drinking tea can refresh you, it should also be light tea with low concentration. Excessive drinking of strong tea will lead to excessive excitement, insomnia, dizziness, arrhythmia and other symptoms, affecting the normal work and rest of the human body. Strong tea should not be drunk on an empty stomach, which will easily lead to excessive stimulation of the intestine and affect the function of the spleen and stomach.
Expert advice: drink light tea after eating for a period of time during the day to properly cheer up; 2~3 hours before going to bed at night, in order to sleep quietly, you should avoid drinking tea.
Key words: Fresh tea is healthier now.
Drink tea immediately in summer and pay attention to hygiene. It is not advisable to drink overnight tea or tea that has been placed for a long time. If tea leaves are brewed for too long, it will not only lose the unique fragrance of tea, but also make the taste worse, which is harmful to human health.
When the temperature is high in summer, vitamins and other nutrients in tea are more likely to be oxidized, destroyed and even converted into harmful components; At the same time, because of the high temperature, microorganisms such as bacteria and molds are more likely to breed in tea, which will deteriorate. In addition, tannic acid and other components in tea soaked for a long time accumulate more, which is irritating and easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, and it is easy to cause gastrointestinal inflammation in summer.
