Chrysanthemum is sweet, bitter and slightly cold, so it has the functions of dispelling wind and clearing heat, clearing liver and improving eyesight, and many people who get angry like to drink chrysanthemum tea to reduce fire.
Remember: people with spleen deficiency and stomach cold should not drink it, and chrysanthemum has the effect of lowering blood pressure. People with normal blood pressure and low blood pressure should not drink it every day. If you drink, don't drink more than three at a time.
2. Boat-fruited Sterculia
Can boat-fruited Sterculia be drunk every day?
Many people have hoarse voices, and the first thing that comes to mind is to make a cup of boat-fruited Sterculia. Chinese medicine believes that boat-fruited Sterculia is cold and sweet, which can relieve sore throat and open throat. However, boat-fruited Sterculia is cool, and people with spleen and stomach deficiency and diarrhea should not drink it.
Remember: Boat-fruited Sterculia doesn't drink standing up. Drink it in moderation for two or three days, and don't drink it after the symptoms get better. If the symptoms are not relieved, stop drinking for a few days. Excessive intake of boat-fruited Sterculia will lead to high blood sugar, so diabetics should drink it carefully.
Step 3: Chinese wolfberry
Drink medlar water to protect your eyes?
Lycium barbarum is rich in carotene and zeaxanthin, and is known as "eyesight". However, experts remind that zeaxanthin is insoluble in water, and it is difficult to "extract" the nutrients in Lycium barbarum by simple brewing.
Remember: when cooking, you might as well use medlar as ingredients, put it in porridge and vegetables, and chew it. People who love to drink Lycium barbarum water should not "just soak and not eat". People with a hot constitution should not eat more.
4. Lemon
Lemonade can best supplement vitamin C?
Fresh lemon contains vitamin C, flavonoids and other substances. Patients with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases drink it for a long time, which is beneficial to their health. However, only one or two slices of fresh lemon are put in the cup. It is difficult to supplement vitamin C just by drinking lemonade.
In fact, there is a record in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Lemon has the power to quench thirst and dispel summer heat." It can effectively stimulate gastric acid secretion, increase appetite and help digestion.
Remember: it is best to choose fresh lemon instead of dried lemon. Brewing with warm water will save more nutrients. People with bad stomach often drink pantothenic acid, so it is recommended to drink or drink less after meals.
5. Rose
Can rose tea be used for beauty?
Rose contains more than 300 chemical components, such as aromatic alcohol, phenol, oil essence and so on. Its smell can relieve stress, relax the mood and help to adjust the color.
Experts believe that dry petals are usually soaked in water at present. After sun exposure, nutrients are lost to a certain extent, so it can't directly provide nutrition to the skin as uploaded on the Internet.
Remember: it tastes better when brewed with fresh rose petals. In addition, rose tea can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and women with more menstrual blood should drink less.
Step 6 drink tea correctly
1, the way to make tea
(1) Brewing method of non-fermented tea
The most common non-fermented tea is green tea, and the rest also includes Longjing, Maojian and other teas. This kind of tea is characterized by retaining the natural substances of tea leaves, with less loss of nutrients such as tea polyphenols and vitamins, and has the effects of reducing blood fat and weight, disinfection and antibacterial, refreshing and relieving fatigue. There are two ways to make this kind of tea, one is to boil water before adding tea, and the other is to put tea before adding water. Both methods require that the water temperature of boiling water should be controlled between 75-90℃, and the water temperature should not be too high or too low, because too high water temperature will destroy the nutrients of tea and affect the taste.
(2) Brewing method of fermented tea
Semi-fermented tea mainly refers to oolong tea, which can be divided into light fermentation and heavy fermentation according to the degree of fermentation, while fully fermented tea includes black tea and Pu 'er tea. This kind of tea is mild, does not hurt the stomach, and has a certain health care function. Semi-fermented tea and fully fermented tea are suitable for brewing with boiling water, and the soaking time is controlled at about 60 seconds. Because the fermented tea has gone through the processes of withering, rolling, shredding, fermentation, drying and so on, it is contaminated with more dust, so the first and second soaking are tea washing processes, and these two teas are not suitable for drinking.
2. Choose the right tea according to the season.
Spring is suitable for drinking scented tea, which helps to dispel the cold evil accumulated in the human body in winter, promote the growth of human yang, and relieve spring sleepiness.
Drink more green tea in summer. Green tea tastes bitter and cold, and has the effects of clearing away heat, relieving summer heat, detoxifying and sterilizing, promoting digestion and enhancing gastrointestinal function.
Autumn is suitable for drinking green tea. Green tea is warm, which can help the human body to completely eliminate residual heat, refresh the mind and make people feel refreshed.
It is suitable for drinking black tea in winter, which is sweet and warm. Drinking black tea can promote blood circulation in the body, dispel cold in the body, make blood supply to the brain sufficient, and play a nourishing role.
3, drinking tea should not be on an empty stomach
Tea contains caffeine. If you drink tea on an empty stomach, the tea ceremony will absorb too much caffeine, which will easily lead to adverse reactions such as rapid heartbeat, palpitation and frequent urination. After a long time, it will also affect the body's absorption of vitamin B, while sleeping in tea will dilute gastric acid, inhibit the secretion of gastric juice, hinder digestion, and even cause palpitations, headaches, stomach discomfort and other "drunk tea" phenomena, and will also affect the absorption of protein, which is easy to cause gastritis.
4. It is best not to drink new tea.
The storage time of new tea is too short, and it contains more unoxidized polyphenols, aldehydes, alcohols and other substances, which has a strong stimulating effect on people's gastrointestinal mucosa and is easy to cause stomach problems, so drink less new tea, especially new tea stored for less than half a month.
Don't drink tea immediately after dinner.
Tea contains a lot of tannic acid. Tannic acid enters the body and reacts with iron in food to form insoluble clots, while tea leaves enter the stomach where food is being digested, which is easy to dilute gastric juice and affect food digestion and absorption, so it is best not to drink tea immediately after meals, but to drink it after an hour.
6. Don't drink tea when taking medicine.
Tannin and theophylline in tea can change chemically with some drugs. Therefore, when taking hypnotic and sedative drugs, drugs containing iron and blood, drugs containing enzyme preparations and drugs containing protein, do not use tea. Tea polyphenols in tea are easy to react with iron and precipitate, thus affecting the efficacy.
