There are so many benefits of drinking tea, but do you know that it is better not to drink it?

If I have to choose a "ceiling of human tea drinking", I have to vote for Gao Yuanming in "Sweeping Dark Storm", Mr. Gao! Drinking at home is nothing, he just moved the whole set of tea sets to the passenger seat of the car. There is no shortage of rockery, dry ice, purple clay cups, and they are 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 book "Shennong's Herbal Classic", there was a description that "Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, encountered 72 poisons every day, and got 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, Ya'an, Sichuan Province), transplanted and planted seven tea trees on Mount Mengding in Ya'an, creating a precedent for artificial tea planting in the world, and also achieved the later reputation of "water from the heart of the Yangtze River, tea from the top of Mount Mengding".

Since then, tea has been used as a commodity for trading. Until today, Chinese tea has become one of the most popular drinks in 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 little flavor and tasting better than plain water. This is not a small idea. The benefits of drinking tea are not just about tasting good. To put it in a more vulgar way, it is a must for discussing great undertakings; to put it in an elegant way, it can cultivate one's sentiments; to put it in terms of health, 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 may ask: "I know that drinking more tea is good, but there are too many varieties of tea, green tea, black tea, Pu'er tea, scented tea... How do I choose? My eyes are dazzled. Director Fu recommends that everyone drink different types of tea all year round.

🍵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, each with its own seasons, we are not forcing everyone to drink tea strictly according to this standard. Everyone has different physiques and body sensations, and they feel different about different types of tea. It does not mean that only seasonal, expensive, and famous brand teas are good teas, and drinking them is beneficial to 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 or low! Besides, when Chinese people drink tea, what they drink is a kind of attitude towards life. The clear, harmonious, mellow, and moist taste of tea are all between existence and non-existence. You cannot taste tea without a calm mind, and you cannot decide without comparison. Therefore, the first priority of tea tasting is the word "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 people, this idea is very dangerous! The polyphenols in tea 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, so they blow on it twice and then start drinking it in big gulps. Aren't they afraid of burning their throats? If you drink tea this hot 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 really don't like to drink tea, but they are "punk health". They roll their eyes and say that Huaxi experts recommend drinking tea. Milk tea is also tea, and it contains milk, so the nutrition is doubled! It's a pity that they don't study Chinese language and literature. Milk tea is indeed on the recommendation list of Huaxi experts, but it is a recommended blacklist. Although milk tea looks like a big cup of water, it also contains a lot of trans fatty acids or sugars. According to a survey, the average caffeine content of commercially available milk tea is 258mg/kg, and the highest can reach 522mg/kg (converted to 365mg/cup), which is equivalent to the total caffeine content of 7 cans of Red Bull (or 3.5 cups of medium American coffee). It's not that these things can't be touched, but if they are consumed excessively for a long time, be careful of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and other diseases knocking on your door.

In addition, I would like to say a few more words. In addition to milk tea, sugary drinks are not recommended, such as cola, packaged juice, etc. Especially 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 boiled water. If you are greedy, it's not a big problem to drink milk tea, cola, or juice occasionally.

So

Drinking tea is also a technical activity

Is there anyone around you who likes to drink tea?
