Drinking tea is a traditional food culture in China, and it must have a reason to survive so far. So what is the reason? It turns out that tea is rich in a lot of antioxidant nutrients, which is of great help to the body. Therefore, drinking tea is also regarded as a scientific way of health care. So, how to drink tea scientifically? What is the effect of drinking tea? Let's take a look.
With the accelerated pace of life, the work pressure of white-collar workers has gradually increased, and many white-collar workers always have enough medicines in their bags. Actually, you don't have to go to so much trouble. Drinking tea correctly can offset the effects of most drugs.
The first level: make a cup of tea and enjoy it healthily.
"Tea is the medicine for all diseases, so don't forget to drink tea to keep fit"-Professor Zhao Lin, a health education expert, once said in the health lecture hall. Vitamins C and E contained in tea, especially tea polyphenols, have strong antioxidant activity and can scavenge oxygen free radicals in the human body, thus playing a role in anti-radiation and enhancing immunity.
Office white-collar workers spend more than 8 hours in front of the computer every day, facing the super radiation of the computer screen. Drinking more tea can not only relax the mood, absorb trace elements, but also prevent computer radiation, which is much more beneficial than pure water, coffee, juice and other drinks!
The second level: choose the right tea, and the efficacy will appreciate.
We also generally know the efficacy of various teas. For example, green tea can clear away heat and detoxify, oolong tea can refresh and relieve fatigue, black tea can nourish the stomach, and Pu 'er can lose weight ... However, whether these effects can be exerted depends on your physique.
According to the degree of fermentation, tea can be divided into cool (green tea, Tieguanyin), neutral (oolong tea) and warm (black tea, Pu 'er tea). People are divided into dry and hot constitution and cold deficiency constitution. Therefore, it is also very particular about choosing what kind of tea to drink!
If you have the habit of smoking and drinking, it is easy to get angry and be afraid of heat, and your body is fat-hot and dry, so you should drink herbal tea.
If you have stomach deficiency and cold, eating bitter gourd and watermelon will make you feel abdominal distension uncomfortable, or you will feel weak-deficiency and cold constitution, please consciously choose neutral tea or warm tea. You should also be especially wary of Kuding tea. 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's better for people with hot and dry constitution, but it's definitely not suitable for you with deficiency and cold constitution.
But some people will show the characteristics of two constitutions. For example, fat, easy to get angry, can eat cold things have loose bowels; Thin, weak spleen and stomach, and very hot. But everyone's physique will show the main symptoms. When drinking tea, it is ok to take the main symptoms as the basis.
In addition, the elderly can drink more neutral and warm tea.
The third level: can make tea and appreciate the quality.
Although drinking tea is of great benefit to the human body, good things will go bad if used in the wrong way. So, how about drinking tea like this?
Matters needing attention in drinking tea
1, use ceramic tea sets to make tea, and don't use metal products, especially aluminum products, to avoid chemical reactions and poisoning.
2. Wash the teacups frequently to remove tea rust. Tea rust is an insoluble colloidal substance formed by the oxidation of polyphenols contained in tea in air and water. Tea rust brought in when drinking tea will hinder the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
3. brew on the same day and drink on the same day. There is a saying "Don't drink overnight tea". This is because the tea contains a small amount of protein, and the organic matter such as protein will deteriorate if it is stored for too long.
4. It is not good to add ingredients randomly. Some people like to add sugar to tea, but in fact, it will not make tea taste, and it will also destroy the nutritional value.
Don't drink tea on an empty stomach in the morning. Drinking tea on an empty stomach can cause kidney hyperfunction, frequent urination, palpitation, and affect gastrointestinal function, hindering the absorption of iron and vitamin B.
6. Don't drink tea before going to bed. Tea has a stimulating effect on the nervous system, which will make the brain in an excited state and make it easy to lose sleep.
7. Don't drink tea for half an hour before and after eating. Drinking tea before eating will dilute saliva, affect eating and digestion, and may temporarily reduce the absorption of protein by digestive organs. Don't drink tea immediately after meals, because tannic acid in tea can coagulate with protein and iron in food, which will affect the absorption of these nutrients.
8. Don't drink tea for half an hour before and after taking medicine. Tea contains a variety of compounds, which will produce chemical changes when mixed with drugs. Second, it will reduce the efficacy and have greater side effects.
9. Don't drink strong tea. The concentration of theanine, caffeine and theobromine in strong tea is too high, which will shrink the stomach wall, affect appetite, hinder digestion and absorption, and even lead to gastric ulcer.
10, women drink less strong tea during menstruation. Especially girls, don't drink strong tea to prevent anemia. Women will lose a lot of blood during menstruation, which contains a lot of methemoglobin, plasma protein and other components. The lost iron can only be supplemented by food. Tannic acid in strong tea can make iron in food synthesize iron tannic acid. Iron tannic acid is an insoluble substance, which is not easily absorbed by intestinal mucosa. In this way, it is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia.
