It is helpful to delay aging. Tea polyphenols have strong antioxidant and physiological activity, and are free radical scavengers in human body. Studies have proved that 1 mg tea polyphenols is equivalent to 9 micrograms of superoxide dismutase in scavenging excessive free radicals harmful to human body, which is much higher than other similar substances. Tea polyphenols can block lipid peroxidation and remove active enzymes. According to the test results of Tomoyo in Ota, Japan, it is confirmed that the anti-aging effect of tea polyphenols is 18 times stronger than that of vitamin E.

Tea polyphenols can inhibit cardiovascular diseases and play an important role in human fat metabolism. The human body has cardiovascular diseases such as high cholesterol and triglycerides, such as fat deposition on the inner wall of blood vessels and atherosclerotic plaques formed after vascular smooth muscle cells proliferate. Tea polyphenols, especially catechins ECG and EGC in tea polyphenols and its oxidation products theaflavins, are helpful to inhibit this mottled proliferation, reduce the formation of fibrinogen that enhances coagulation viscosity, make coagulation clear, and thus inhibit atherosclerosis.

Matters needing attention of lemon green tea
1, you can't drink 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. Therefore, the first tea has a washing function and should be discarded.
2. Don't drink 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, limb weakness and other symptoms.
3. Drink less new tea. Because fresh tea has a short storage time and contains more unoxidized polyphenols, aldehydes, alcohols and other substances, it 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.
People with cold stomach had better not drink green tea. People with cold stomach should not drink too much, which will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. People with neurasthenia and insomnia should not drink tea before going to bed, and lactating women should also drink less tea because tea has a astringent effect on milk.
