Tea is one of the three major beverages in the world, and the rest include coffee and cocoa. But with so much tea, how should we choose? In modern life, most people have bad stomachs, which can be described as ten stomachs and nine diseases. For the health of the stomach, most people think that we should drink black tea instead of green tea. Is that really the case?
Different from green tea, black tea belongs to completely fermented tea, and it is precisely because of this process that there are fewer antioxidants in black tea, which is far less than unfermented green tea, so people think it is nourishing the stomach.
In fact, in many studies, people are even advised to drink green tea. In a study conducted in the American Journal of Nutritional Chemistry, mice were fed with high-fat food continuously and given green tea extract at the same time. At the same time, there is a group of control experiments, and finally it is concluded that the protein and fat accumulated in mice that ate green tea extract are lower than those that did not.
This also shows that patients with fatty liver in real life may wish to drink some green tea, which is also beneficial to excrete body fat and reduce the burden on the stomach.
There is also an experiment about black tea and green tea. These experiments found that after black tea fermentation, the original antioxidant substances such as tea polyphenols not only lost their activity, but also were oxidized into pigments. The content of tea polyphenols in green tea is more, which is beneficial to improve the levels of low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein cholesterol in blood, thus preventing cardiovascular diseases more effectively.
Therefore, even people with a bad stomach need not be too paranoid about choosing black tea or green tea. According to everyone's taste, you can choose the tea that suits you. For green tea with strong antioxidant effect, it will not damage the gastric mucosa, as long as there is no discomfort after drinking, there is no need to worry.
A way of paying attention is different from that of China people. Drinking black tea in the west may also add milk and a little sugar. If people with three highs drink it, it is best to drink it alone, so as not to bring a burden to health. When choosing tea, the relationship between caffeine and diseases is still uncertain.
Check your blood pressure and blood sugar level when drinking tea, and don't drink it if it fluctuates greatly. If you are a gout crowd, avoid drinking too much strong tea, and it is best to choose barley tea, which is the most beneficial way for your condition.
