Tea is an indispensable drink for China people, and it has many functions. So what knowledge does healthy tea drinking have? Come and have a look with me!
How much tea is the healthiest to drink every day?
To truly achieve health goals, tea must be drunk every day. Experts told us that according to Japanese animal experiments, the standard practice of animal experiments in tea drinking research is to extract15g of green tea and make it into 250ml. In order to achieve the greatest health benefits of drinking tea, he suggested drinking 500 ml, about 2 large cups every day, and the concentration of tea should be soaked for 2 minutes. If you drink light tea, you can drink 1000 ml at most a day, and then it is not recommended.
Tea must be drunk while it is hot.
Professional research has found that tea contains more than thousands of substances. Good substances can be released in the first 2 minutes of brewing, but they will release negative components after soaking for a long time. Besides, drink the tea while it is hot. Once cooled and oxidized, the health benefits will be greatly reduced. Therefore, experts suggest that office workers can make tea in a thermos bottle with a filter to keep the tea warm and drink it slowly.
You must pay attention to the time of tea.
Some people can't finish making tea, so they can drink it overnight. Experts say that once stored improperly, it is easy to breed bacteria, but as long as the tea leaves are taken out and properly preserved, there is basically no problem in drinking overnight tea. In order to avoid affecting the digestion and absorption of gastrointestinal tract, it is recommended to avoid drinking a lot of tea before meals or drinking with tea, and not to drink tea immediately after meals. The best time to drink tea should be 2 to 3 hours after meals, and people who are sensitive to caffeine should avoid drinking tea before going to bed.
Besides drinking tea, you should also eat, which is the healthiest.
In order to prevent diseases, you must drink every kind of tea, and drink tea and eat tea alternately. Unfortunately, some nutrients in tea, such as carotene, vitamin E, mineral manganese, dietary fiber, etc., are insoluble in hot water and cannot be ingested by drinking tea alone, and finally they are thrown away as tea dregs. Therefore, drinking tea is also a good way to absorb the nutrients in tea.
Healthy tea drinking and knowledge of removing blood stasis-hawthorn brown sugar tea
Blood stasis is poor blood circulation, which is characterized by dark skin, long spots, purple lips and purple tongue coating.
The method is simple: take 8~ 10 slices of hawthorn, wash them, remove the core, break them, brew or cook them in boiling water for 20 minutes, and add brown sugar and mix well.
Yang deficiency-Sanhua tea
The most typical symptoms are chills and cold hands and feet. Except for a few people who are born with yang deficiency, most people are caused by bad habits such as gluttony for cold drinks and staying up late for a long time.
Patients with yang deficiency may wish to try Sanhua Buyang tea: 3 grams of Kangxian flower, 2 grams of Tianshan Saussurea involucrata flower, 2 grams of ginseng flower, and boiled water.
Qi stagnation double scented tea
Double scented tea is especially suitable for people with qi stagnation and is very helpful to improve depression. But jasmine powder is easy to hurt people. Use with caution for those with kidney deficiency and insufficient middle qi.
Here, we recommend a tea for soothing the liver and relieving depression-double scented tea: 20 grams of rose, 20 grams of jasmine, brewed in boiling water for 5 minutes.
Yin deficiency-Lycium barbarum chrysanthemum tea
The human body is composed of yin and yang. Yin deficiency means that the body fluid, blood essence and other yin fluids are insufficient. If Yang Qi cannot be restrained, it will lead to hyperactivity of yang due to yin deficiency, which is manifested as dry mouth, dry throat, fever of hands and feet, night sweats and dry skin.
The principle of nourishing yin and blood, nourishing liver and kidney yin is aimed at people with yin deficiency and fire flourishing. A simple and effective tea conditioning method is medlar chrysanthemum tea: take 5 chrysanthemums and medlar 10g, wash them slightly and brew them with boiling water.
Tanshi Sanbao Tea
People with phlegm-dampness constitution are often accompanied by dysfunction of spleen and stomach and endocrine disorders, mainly manifested as obesity, fullness of abdomen and sticky mouth.
Here we recommend the three treasures of tea: 5 grams of chrysanthemum, 5 grams of dried tangerine peel and 5 grams of Pu 'er tea, which are ground into coarse powder, wrapped in gauze and put into a cup, and brewed with boiling water for drinking.
Damp-heat quality-Wuhua Qushi tea
People in damp heat constitution are often dirty and shiny, have acne, often feel dry mouth and bitter taste, and are accompanied by bad breath. Most of these people have yellow greasy tongue coating, red eyes, upset and tired.
Wuhua Qushi tea is very suitable for such people to drink every day. Take 50 grams of honeysuckle, 50 grams of kapok, 50 grams of frangipani, 30 grams of chrysanthemum and 300 grams of Sophora japonica, add 3000 ml of clear water, simmer for half an hour, filter out the soup, and add 200 grams of honey after cooling slightly.
Qi deficiency-black tea and astragalus tea
People with qi deficiency are often abnormal, either too thin or overweight, accompanied by fatigue, pallor, palpitation, shortness of breath and love sweating. People with qi deficiency have poor resistance and are prone to many diseases.
Black tea is the first choice for qi deficiency. Black tea is good at regulating gastric motility and improving symptoms such as loss of appetite and abdominal distension caused by qi deficiency. Secondly, Astragalus membranaceus is a good medicine for invigorating qi in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also a must-have for people with qi deficiency.
Unique quality-strengthening foundation and increasing tea inspection exemption
People with allergic constitution and family history of hereditary or congenital diseases belong to special constitution. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that conditioning should focus on invigorating qi and consolidating exterior, nourishing blood and expelling wind, so as to reduce the occurrence and aggravation of allergic symptoms.
People who are in good health should not drink too much tea.
Strong tea will make the body's "excitability" too high, which will adversely affect the cardiovascular system and nervous system. People with cardiovascular diseases may have tachycardia and arrhythmia after drinking strong tea, which may easily lead to repeated illness.
Don't drink before going to bed.
This is especially important for early tea drinkers. Many people will find it very difficult to fall asleep after drinking tea before going to bed, and even seriously affect their mental state the next day. People with neurasthenia or insomnia should pay special attention.
Don't drink before meals.
Drinking a small amount of tea before or during meals is not a big problem, but if you drink a lot of tea or drink too much tea, it will affect the absorption of many macro elements (such as calcium) and trace elements (such as iron and zinc). It should be noted that when drinking milk or other dairy products, don't drink tea at the same time. Because theophylline and tannic acid in tea will combine with calcium in dairy products to form water-insoluble calcium salts, the nutritional value of dairy products will be greatly reduced.
Don't drink after drinking.
After drinking, the alcohol in the wine enters the blood through the gastrointestinal tract and is converted into acetaldehyde in the liver, which is then converted into acetic acid, which is then decomposed into carbon dioxide and water to be discharged. After drinking tea, theophylline in tea can quickly diuretic the kidney, thus promoting the undecomposed acetaldehyde to enter the kidney prematurely.
Acetaldehyde has a great stimulating effect on the kidney, which will affect the renal function. Therefore, people who often drink strong tea after drinking are prone to kidney disease. Not only that, the ethanol in wine stimulates the cardiovascular system greatly, but tea also stimulates the heart, and the combination of the two enhances the stimulation to the heart. Therefore, drinking tea after drinking is more harmful to heart patients.
Don't drink new tea.
New tea will stimulate the gastric mucosa, cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and even aggravate the condition. From a nutritional point of view, too fresh tea nutrients are not necessarily the best. Because the so-called new tea refers to the tea that has been picked for less than a month, and these teas contain substances that have adverse effects on health, such as polyphenols, alcohols, aldehydes and so on. , has not been completely oxidized. If you drink new tea for a long time, you may have discomfort such as diarrhea and bloating.
Avoid taking medicine with tea.
Some people, especially those who love tea, will choose to use tea to deliver medicine, but they don't know that tannins in tea can be combined with drugs to precipitate, thus changing the properties of drugs, hindering absorption and affecting efficacy. So take medicine with boiled water. This is also a daily "tea antidote".
Don't drink tea every night.
Overnight tea is easy to be polluted by pathogenic organisms because it has been put on hold for too long, and the complex components in tea are also easy to change. Drinking overnight tea can lead to gastrointestinal diseases. When I was a child, I was always taught that "drinking tea every night and having diarrhea" seems to have its own reasons.
