Tea is people's favorite drink, but medical experts remind that drinking tea requires a clear understanding of physical fitness and proper drinking, otherwise it will be very harmful.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people's physique can be divided into dry heat and deficiency cold, and tea can also be divided into coolness and warmth through different production techniques, so different constitutions also pay attention to drinking tea. People with dry and hot constitution should drink herbal tea, while those with deficient and cold constitution should drink warm tea.
Common tea leaves are mainly divided into green tea, green tea (including oolong tea, Tieguanyin tea and Dahongpao tea), black tea and black tea (Pu 'er tea). This is basically divided according to the degree of tea fermentation from low to high. Generally speaking, Tieguanyin in green tea and green tea belongs to herbal tea because of its low degree of fermentation. Oolong tea and Dahongpao in green tea belong to neutral tea, while black tea and Pu 'er tea belong to warm tea.
Experts suggest that people who have the habit of smoking and drinking, people who are prone to get angry, and people who are hot and fat (that is, people with hot constitution) drink herbal tea; People with stomach deficiency and cold, people with abdominal distension after eating bitter gourd and watermelon, or people with weak constitution (that is, people with deficiency and cold constitution) should drink neutral tea or warm tea, and the elderly are suitable for drinking black tea and Pu 'er tea. However, it should be noted that Kuding tea is cool, and its functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, softening blood vessels and lowering blood fat are better than other teas. It is most suitable for people with hot and dry constitution, but certainly not for people with sweaty constitution.
However, the constitution of modern urbanites cannot be simply divided into dryness and heat and deficiency and cold. Some people have both: being fat is easy to get angry, but eating cold things will cause diarrhea; Some people are thin, their spleen and stomach are obviously weak, but they are very hot. This is mainly caused by modern urbanites, who have bad habits such as smoking, drinking and staying up late, which leads to diversified constitutions, but everyone's physique will show the main symptoms, and drinking tea should be based on the main symptoms.
Patients with sub-health urban diseases should drink neutral and warm teas such as Dahongpao, black tea and Pu 'er, and at most add some milk to the tea to make milk tea. If the blood sugar itself is not high, consider adding sugar to tea. Some people may have poor absorption function, and drinking milk tea may cause diarrhea, so they only drink ripe Pu 'er tea (with high degree of fermentation), because ripe Pu 'er tea will produce many trace elements after fermentation, which will promote appetite and absorption.
Understand the characteristics of tea
Green tea: allergic constitution drinking green tea is easy to vomit. Most of the famous teas in China are green teas. Because there is no fermentation link in the production process, the nutritional components are higher than other kinds, but the chlorophyll content is also more, which is more irritating to the stomach. Patients with gastric ulcer cannot drink green tea.
Tieguanyin: You can't drink on an empty stomach. Tieguanyin belongs to semi-fermented tea. Because its fermentation cycle is short, it is still cool, and its function of reducing fat and promoting digestion is outstanding, and its tea fragrance is particularly strong. But you can't drink Tieguanyin on an empty stomach, otherwise, it is easy to get drunk.
Oolong tea: It must be brewed with 100℃ boiling water. Oolong tea is neither cold nor hot, spicy and cool. This is a neutral tea, which is suitable for most people to drink. Because tea leaves are thick and old, they must be brewed with 100℃ boiling water.
Dahongpao tea: warm but not cold, not hurting the stomach. It tastes mellow and has a strong aroma. After drinking it, it will leave a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks for a long time. After brewing for 9 times, there is still the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance of the original tea.
Pu 'er tea: mild and mellow, it has the functions of warming stomach, lowering blood pressure and lowering blood fat. Long-term drinking is effective in relieving atherosclerosis and preventing cardiovascular diseases.
