With the recovery of the earth, new tea (the first batch of fresh leaves picked from tea trees in spring) is also on the market one after another, with fresh and refreshing taste, which is good for many people. However, it should be noted that some people are not suitable for drinking new tea that has just been listed.

Lv Peiwan, deputy director of the Henan Provincial Committee of Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Care, said that many people will have a "drunken tea syndrome" after drinking new tea, which is manifested by a series of adverse reactions such as dizziness, insomnia, weakness of limbs, stomach pain, bloating and constipation. The reason is that the content of caffeine, active alkaloids and various aromatic substances in tea leaves harvested less than one month is high, which is easy to excite people's nervous system and is very unfavorable to neurasthenia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, the content of non-oxidized polyphenols and aldehydes and alcohols in new tea is also high, which has a strong stimulating effect on gastrointestinal mucosa. Therefore, people with poor gastrointestinal function are prone to abdominal pain, constipation, dry mouth, dry throat and diarrhea after drinking.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, new tea is cold and cool. People with strong spleen and stomach can drink it, which can clear away heat and detoxify; People with weak spleen and stomach will have difficulty transporting it because it is too cold, and there will be gastrointestinal discomfort such as diarrhea. Tea is the bud of plants, which contains wood gas and has the function of promoting human yang. When the human body is full of yang, it is refreshing after drinking tea; When the human body's yang is insufficient, the yang will rise outward, reducing the internal yang, leading to disharmony between the spleen and stomach, leading to abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Therefore, people who usually drink cold water and eat cold rice, people with gastrointestinal discomfort, people with cold stomach and fear of cold, or people whose limbs are cold when they touch cold water are not suitable for drinking new tea. Old people and children are usually weak in spleen and stomach and are not suitable for drinking new tea. On the contrary, if you are always depressed, easily angry and grumpy, you can drink fresh tea appropriately; Friends who drink daily and like to eat greasy and obese are also suitable. If you buy new tea, you can store it for about half a month until some polyphenols, aldehydes and alcohols in tea are oxidized and the activity of caffeine, alkaloids or aromatic substances is reduced before drinking. I really want to drink new tea, but I'm worried about stomach upset. When making tea, I can put a few slices of ginger and drink a little, which will help reduce irritation and dispel cold. ▲
