I have long known that tea is magical. Lu Quan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described the efficacy of tea in this way: "One bowl moistens the throat, two bowls are lonely and boring, and three bowls are poor, with only 5,000 volumes of words; Four bowls of light sweat, unfair life, scattered to the pores; Five bowls of clear skin; Six bowls of fairy spirits; Seven bowls can't be eaten; I just feel a breeze under my arm. " In the Song Dynasty, Wu Shu's "Tea Fu" said: "It's wonderful for a husband to quench his thirst and turn his bones into light weight, thanks to tea milk." Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty said: "Tea tastes bitter and cold, and the yang in the yin will sink, which can best reduce the fire.".
Oolong tea, as a famous tea unique to China, has been confirmed by modern scientific research institutes at home and abroad. Oolong tea not only has the health care functions of refreshing mind, relieving fatigue, promoting fluid production and diuresis, relieving fever and disease, sterilizing and diminishing inflammation, promoting digestion and relieving fatigue, losing weight and keeping fit, but also has the special functions of preventing cancer, reducing blood fat and resisting aging.
First, cancer prevention.
1June 998 15 Health News (Reporter Zheng Yuanxiang) Not long ago, Han Chi, an associate researcher in the Toxicology Laboratory of Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, and her assistant Xu Yong conducted an anti-cancer experiment of tea on animals. They fed mice five kinds of tea, such as Anxi Tieguanyin, and at the same time, they were fed methyl carbazide glue, a synthetic carcinogen with purity greater than 99.8%. After three months, the incidence of esophageal cancer in rats was 42-67%, and the average number of tumors in rats with cancer was 2.2-3. The incidence of esophageal cancer in rats who did not drink tea was 90%, and the average number of tumors in mice with cancer was 5.2. Five kinds of tea have the best anticancer effect in Anxi Tieguanyin. At the same time, they also conducted another experiment, that is, using sodium nitrite and methyl carrageenan as carcinogenic precursors. The results showed that none of the rats in the tea drinking group developed esophageal cancer, and the incidence rate was 100%. This result proves that tea can completely block the endogenous formation of nitrite nitrogen in the body.
Second, reduce blood fat.
198 1 year, a male professor from Toyomi Miyagawa, Kawamura and a foreign women's university conducted an experiment on the effect of oolong tea on animal fat metabolism, which proved that oolong tea can significantly inhibit the increase of cholesterol and neutral fat in blood.
From 65438 to 0983, Fujian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine observed a group of patients with hypercholesterolemia. When they stopped using all kinds of lipid-lowering drugs, they drank oolong tea twice every morning and evening. After 24 weeks in a row, the blood cholesterol content of patients decreased to varying degrees. Further animal experiments show that oolong tea can prevent and alleviate atherosclerosis of aortic blood lipids. Drinking oolong tea can also reduce blood viscosity, prevent erythrocyte aggregation, improve blood hypercoagulability, increase blood fluidity and improve microcirculation. This is of positive significance for Chinese medicine to prevent vascular diseases, intravascular thrombosis and blood stasis. In addition, in vitro thrombosis test also shows that oolong tea has the effect of inhibiting thrombosis.
Third, anti-aging.
65438-0983 Anti-aging experiments conducted by Fujian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine showed that the lipid peroxidation in the liver of two groups of animals fed with oolong tea and vitamin E decreased obviously, indicating that oolong tea has the same anti-aging effect as vitamin E. Human experiments also showed that drinking oolong tea can keep the content of vitamin C in blood at a high level and reduce the excretion of vitamin C in urine. The anti-aging effect of vitamin C has long been proved by research. Therefore, drinking oolong tea can enhance the anti-aging ability of human body in many ways.
1985 10 professor Wang Zenong wrote a poem during his inspection in Anxi tea town, which highly summarized the health care efficacy of Anxi oolong tea: Anxi is like the fragrance of Tieguanyin, and six roots prolong life. Huang Jingui, a newly selected famous tea, is a panacea to protect Dan's heart. After serving for thousands of years, it is beautiful, cures all diseases, and is light and light.
Matters needing attention in making oolong tea:
The newer the new tea, the better. Improper drinking can easily hurt the stomach. Because new tea has just been picked, it has a short storage time and contains more unoxidized polyphenols, aldehydes and alcohols, which has little effect on healthy people. But for patients with poor gastrointestinal function, especially those with chronic gastrointestinal inflammation, these substances will stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa, and people with poor gastrointestinal function are more likely to induce stomach diseases. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink more new tea, and do not drink new tea that has been stored for less than half a month.
In addition, new tea contains more caffeine, active alkaloids and various aromatic substances, which will also excite people's central nervous system. Patients with neurasthenia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should drink in moderation, not before going to bed or on an empty stomach. The correct way is to leave it for half a month before using it.
