◆ Tea can be divided into coolness and warmth through different production processes. People with hot and dry constitution should drink herbal tea, while those with deficient and cold constitution should drink warm tea.
It is best to drink black tea at night. Because green tea belongs to non-fermented tea, it has high content of tea polyphenols and strong irritation; Black tea is a kind of completely fermented tea with weak irritation. Especially for people with weak spleen and stomach, adding some milk when drinking black tea can play a certain role in warming the stomach.
◆ People who are easily excited or sensitive, have poor sleep and are weak should drink less or not drink tea at night.
◆ When drinking tea at night, put less tea and don't make the tea too strong. It's best to drink after meals. Drinking tea on an empty stomach can easily inhibit the secretion of gastric juice, hinder digestion, and seriously cause palpitations, headaches and other "tea drunkenness" phenomena.
Eight common mistakes in drinking tea
I like drinking new tea.
Because of its short storage time, new tea contains more unoxidized polyphenols, aldehydes and alcohols, which has a strong stimulating effect on human gastrointestinal mucosa and is easy to induce stomach diseases. Therefore, drink less new tea and avoid new tea that has been stored for less than half a month.
Second, drinking tea for the first time
Because tea is polluted by harmful substances such as pesticides in the process of planting and processing, there will always be some residues on the surface of tea, so the first-time tea should be discarded because of its washing function.
Third, drink tea on an empty stomach.
Drinking tea on an empty stomach will dilute gastric juice, reduce digestive function, increase water absorption rate, and lead to a large number of bad components in tea entering the blood, causing dizziness, palpitation, weakness of hands and feet and other symptoms.
Fourth, drink tea after meals.
Tea contains a lot of tannic acid, which can react with iron in food to form new substances that are difficult to dissolve. Over time, it will cause iron deficiency and even induce anemia. The correct way is to drink tea an hour after meals.
