Is it better for people with bad hearts to drink black tea or green tea?
When it comes to drinking tea, I still have a say, because my hometown is the hometown of tea. In our hometown, every household grows tea, so there is no shortage of tea to drink. Black tea, green tea, scented tea, jujube leaves, mulberry leaves, etc. As long as it can be fried, it can be fried into tea.

Who has a bad heart, which is better to drink black tea or green tea?

There are still many benefits of drinking tea. Tea contains many special effective components, the most important of which are tea polyphenols, catechins, theanine, tea and theophylline. Of course, there are vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Therefore, drinking tea has always been considered essential to the health of middle-aged and elderly people.

Drinking tea is also good for people with a bad heart. Studies have shown that drinking tea in moderation can protect the heart and prevent coronary heart disease. It is found that compared with people who drink less than 3 cups of green tea a day, drinking more than 10 cups of green tea a day can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease death by nearly13.

This is mainly because the tea polyphenols contained in tea, especially flavanols-catechins, are the most common. These substances have certain effects of reducing blood lipid, scavenging free radicals and resisting the oxidation of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, thus delaying the development of atherosclerosis and preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, for people with bad heart, drinking tea in moderation does have a certain health care effect on cardiovascular health. However, drinking tea is only an auxiliary health care, and it can't cure diseases, let alone replace drug treatment.

What are the risks of drinking tea for people with bad hearts?

There are advantages and risks. Many people with bad hearts are afraid to drink tea, because some people will be flustered and uncomfortable after drinking tea. Indeed, tea contains caffeine and theophylline, which both excite sympathetic nerves. If you drink too much Chata, your heart rate may increase. For patients with coronary heart disease, such as tachycardia, premature beats or atrial fibrillation, drinking tea does bring heart discomfort such as palpitation and chest tightness, and may even induce angina pectoris.

Whether it is green tea or black tea, it is the tea that everyone drinks most often. We produce more green tea there, and local people prefer to drink green tea. The biggest difference between black tea and green tea lies in the processing procedure. Green tea is not fermented, so the tea polyphenols contained in it are preserved more, and the vitamins, amino acids and chlorophyll contained in it are also preserved to the greatest extent. Black tea belongs to fermented tea. Because it has gone through various processes, the tea polyphenols contained in it are greatly lost, leaving only about 65,438+00%, and correspondingly more thearubigins and theaflavins are produced.

As mentioned above, tea is good for the heart, mainly because it contains tea polyphenols. Because green tea contains more active ingredients, theoretically speaking, drinking green tea is better than drinking black tea. But green tea contains more caffeine and theophylline. Green tea is cold and black tea is warm. For people with bad stomach and fast heart rate, drinking green tea is more risky, so you can choose to drink black tea.

In short, whether you choose black tea or green tea, people with bad hearts must pay attention to several points when drinking tea.

Be clear about your personal situation before drinking tea: some people will react after drinking tea, such as palpitation, rapid heartbeat, excitement, insomnia and other symptoms. This kind of people had better not drink tea, which may aggravate constipation and lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. People with bad stomachs should also be careful when drinking tea.

Do not drink "three teas": Do not drink strong tea, Leng Cha and bedtime tea. People with bad hearts are sensitive to tea. If Chata is thick or too cold, it will increase irritation and aggravate heart discomfort. If it is serious, it will also induce cardiovascular accidents, which must be avoided. In addition, drinking tea before going to bed can lead to insomnia and excitement. , will affect the quality of sleep, aggravate the condition, so try to drink tea in the morning, don't drink tea in the afternoon.

Drink tea without taking medicine: it is best not to take medicine when drinking tea, because tannic acid, caffeine and other ingredients contained in tea may affect the efficacy of some drugs, so don't drink tea to take medicine, and don't drink tea for a short time before and after taking medicine.
