There are so many benefits of drinking tea, but doctors in West China say: It is better not to drink it

If I have to choose a "ceiling for human tea drinking", I must vote for Gao Mingyuan in "Sweeping Dark Storm", Mr. Gao!

Drinking at home is nothing, they just moved the whole set of tea sets to the passenger seat of the car. There is nothing missing, including rockery, dry ice, and purple clay cups, which are also magnetic...

If you say that Mr. Gao doesn't really love tea, I, Hua, will be the first one to disagree !

Having said that, Chinese people love drinking tea, it is in their genes.

No matter how great a cause or billion-dollar contract is, they were all negotiated over a cup of tea.

As for drinking tea, Fu Ping, director of the Department of Nephrology at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, also expressed his approval!

Chinese people have been drinking tea for thousands of years.

Lu Yu, a tea expert in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote in his book The Classic of Tea: "Tea is the best tree of the south."

But this is not the earliest record of tea. As early as in the earliest known Chinese medicine work "Shennong's Herbal Classic", there appeared a description that "Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons a day, and found tea to cure them."

In other words, "tea" had already appeared in the lives of Chinese people in the Neolithic Age.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Wu Lizhen, a native of Yandao (now Mingshan District of Ya'an, Sichuan Province), transplanted and planted seven tea trees on Mount Mengding in Ya'an, creating a precedent for artificial tea cultivation in the world and creating the famous "Yangtze River water, Mengshan mountain tea" that later became famous throughout the country.

Since then, tea has begun to be traded as a commodity.

To this day, Chinese tea has become one of the most popular drinks among people all over the world and is known as the "holy water of the East."

What are the benefits of drinking tea?

Although Chinese people have been drinking tea for thousands of years, most people still think of tea as having a bit of flavor and tasting better than plain water.

The pattern is too small.

The benefits of drinking tea are not as simple as just tasting good. To put it in a common way, it is a must-have for discussing long-term business; to put it in an elegant way, it can cultivate one's sentiments; and to put it in a health-conscious way, there are even more benefits!

Let’s take a look at what’s in the tea leaves↓↓↓

With so many nutrients, it is definitely a leader in health products, and the effects of taking any one of them out are amazing.

How to drink tea correctly?

Someone is going to ask:

I know it's good to drink more tea, but there are so many varieties of tea, green tea, black tea, Pu'er tea, scented tea... How do I choose? It's so confusing.

Director Fu recommends that everyone drink different types of tea throughout the year.

🍵Spring : It is recommended to drink scented tea in spring. Scented tea is sweet and cool, with a fragrant and pungent aroma, which can invigorate the spirit, make people feel comfortable and clear their minds.

🍵Summer : In the hot summer, it is recommended to drink green tea. Green tea is cold in nature, which is helpful for cooling down and reducing internal heat, and can also stop sweating. It is also rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

🍵Autumn : In autumn, the "dry air is in season", so it is recommended to drink green tea. Green tea is what we call oolong tea. It is mild in nature, can moisturize dryness, promote body fluid, clear the accumulated heat in the body, and help the body adapt to changes in the natural environment.

🍵Winter : In winter, the temperature is low and the cold is heavy. It is recommended to drink black tea. It has mild properties, can warm the stomach and keep out the cold, and increase resistance.

🍵Dark tea is suitable for all seasons . Dark tea is a post-fermented tea with mild nature, mellow taste and sweet aftertaste, and is not very irritating. In addition, dark tea, like other teas, is rich in tea polyphenols, which can regulate the levels of blood lipids, blood sugar and uric acid in the human body. It is a healthy drink suitable for all seasons.

"Does that mean you can only drink scented tea in spring and green tea in summer?"

Not at all!

Although we have divided tea into several categories, which are different in different seasons, it does not force everyone to drink it strictly according to these standards.

Everyone has different physiques and body sensations, and they feel differently about different types of tea. It doesn't mean that only seasonal, expensive, and branded teas are good teas, and drinking them is beneficial to your physical and mental health. As long as it is suitable for you, as Dr. Huaxi said, it is good tea regardless of whether it is high-quality or low-quality!

Besides, when Chinese people drink tea, they are drinking a kind of attitude towards life. The clear, harmonious, mellow and moist taste of tea is all about presence and absence. You can’t taste it without a calm mind, and you can’t make a decision without comparison. Therefore, the most important thing for tea tasting is calmness.

Drinking tea, the more the better?

Tea has so many benefits, wouldn't it be more effective if you drink it all at once?

Young man, this idea is dangerous!

The polyphenols in tea can easily form complexes with non-heme iron in the human body, thereby reducing the body's absorption rate of iron. Drinking too much tea can easily lead to anemia.

In addition, the following drinking methods are not recommended:

Drink strong tea regularly

Tea contains caffeine and oxalic acid. If you drink too much, caffeine will keep the brain, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular nerves in a state of continuous excitement, which will lead to arrhythmia, palpitations, etc. Oxalic acid can easily cause kidney stones.

Drink tea before bed

It's probably the caffeine that's to blame. A big cup of tea before bed might stimulate my nerves, and I'll just lie in bed and count sheep at night...

Drink too hot

Some people drink tea like a cow...it's still very hot right after it's brewed, but they blow on it twice and then start drinking it in big gulps. Aren't they afraid of scalding their throats?

If you drink such hot water for a long time, esophageal cancer is not a dream! So at least wait until the tea cools down to below 65℃ before drinking it. You can still wait for a while.

So everything should be done in moderation. No matter how good the food is, you can't eat or drink it without limit. I originally drank tea for health, but I ended up in the hospital. Who can I go to for justice?

Milk tea is also tea, so drinking it is good for your health?

Some young people do not like drinking tea, but they also believe in health preservation. They roll their eyes and say that experts from West China University of Political Science and Law recommend drinking tea. Milk tea is also tea, and it contains milk, so the nutrition is doubled!

This word is so good that it is a pity not to study Chinese language and literature. Milk tea is indeed on the recommendation list of West China experts, but it is a recommended blacklist.

Although milk tea looks like a big glass of water, it also contains a large amount of trans fatty acids and sugars.

According to a survey, the average caffeine content of commercially available milk tea is 258 mg/kg, and can be as high as 522 mg/kg (equivalent to 365 mg/cup), which is equivalent to the total caffeine content of 7 cans of Red Bull (or 3.5 medium cups of American coffee).

It’s not that you shouldn’t touch these things, but if you consume them in excessive amounts for a long time, be careful about high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and other diseases knocking on your door.

In addition, I would like to say a few more words. Apart from milk tea, sugary drinks are not recommended, such as cola, packaged fruit juice, etc.

In particular, fruit juice looks healthy, but in fact it contains a lot of artificial sugar, such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, starch syrup, maltose syrup, etc.

So if you really can't drink tea, it's better to drink some boiled water. If you are greedy, it's not a big deal to drink milk tea, cola, or juice once in a while.

So

Drinking tea is also a technical activity

Is there anyone around you who likes to drink tea?

@TA come and see
