Is drinking tea good or bad for your health?
Drinking and drinking tea at the same time, although tea can temporarily sober you up, you can continue to fight each other. People are used to drinking more tea and strong tea when drinking and after drinking, thinking that it can help digestion, relieve oil and boredom, moisten dryness and diuresis, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. Drink more tea and drink tea immediately after drinking, which is easy to cause kidney cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that alcohol is pure yang, with pungent and sweet taste, rising yang and diverging, and its qi is dry and hot, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold. And tea tastes bitter, which belongs to yin and decline. Drinking tea after drinking is easy to drive alcohol to the "kidney" which is mainly wet with water, breaking dry heat and forming cold stagnation, leading to frequent urination, turbid urine and other symptoms. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink tea (especially strong tea) immediately or in large quantities after drinking, but to eat some fresh fruits in moderation. People should not use tea after getting drunk, especially strong tea to sober up. After alcohol enters the human body, most of it can be converted into acetaldehyde in the liver, and then into acetic acid, which can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water and excreted through the kidney. Theophylline in strong tea can quickly play a diuretic role in the kidney, thus promoting the undecomposed acetaldehyde to enter the kidney prematurely, and acetaldehyde has a greater toxic effect on the kidney, thus causing damage to renal function. In addition, because alcohol itself has a strong stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system, and strong tea also has an exciting effect on the human body due to the effect of caffeine, if you drink tea after drunkenness, it will be a two-pronged approach, which will further aggravate the stimulation to the heart and increase the burden on the heart, which is particularly unfavorable to patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
