How great are the health benefits of tea For the Chinese, drinking tea for health is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. In recent years, more and more research has been done on the health benefits of tea: anti-cancer, cardiovascular protection, radiation protection. It seems that all the health hazards in people’s lives can be dissolved by a cup of tea. So, what are the nutrients in the tea, whether or not it can play a role in health, how to drink to maximize the effect of health? How to drink tea is the most nourishing After choosing the right tea for yourself, how to make it play a maximum effect, is also a discipline. 1, preservation: tea is most afraid of moisture and odor. Preservation of containers to tin bottles, porcelain altar, colored glass bottles the best; followed by the appropriate use of iron listening, wooden boxes, bamboo boxes, etc.; plastic bags, cardboard boxes the most inferior. Containers should be dry, clean, no odor. Sheng good preservation of tea, should be placed in a dry and ventilated place, can not be placed in the humidity, high temperature, unclean, exposure to the sun. These places should not have camphor, medicines, cosmetics, cigarettes, laundry products and other items with strong odors. The new green tea of the year can also be sealed and put into the refrigerator freezer, can be saved for 3-6 months. 2, brewing: wash the tea for up to 15 seconds. “Nowadays, people like to wash tea when they drink tea, but I don’t agree with over-washing tea.” Han Chi said, we found in the experiment, green tea rinsed twice its active ingredient leaching rate of more than 70%, black tea for more than 60%. That is to say, if excessive washing tea, nutrients will be a large loss. If the tea has to be washed, then wash the tea time should not exceed 15 seconds. Green tea and white tea, it is best not to wash. “But there is an exception, people who are more sensitive to caffeine, can drink tea before washing again, because the caffeine in it leaches out faster than the tea polyphenols, and the fast washing can remove part of the caffeine.” 3, drinking: 12 grams per day is most suitable. For ordinary people, it is appropriate to drink about 12 grams of tea a day, brewed in 3-4 times. Eat more greasy food, smoking and drinking a large amount of people can appropriately increase the amount of tea. Pregnant women and children, neurasthenia, tachycardia, the amount of tea should be appropriately reduced. Han Chi reminded, with the popularity of Kung Fu tea, people drink tea “more and more hot”, which is very wrong. “People drink tea for health care, but drinking hot tea will increase the incidence of esophageal cancer and other cancers, the loss is not worth it. The best temperature for drinking tea should be about 60 degrees, not more than 70 degrees.” In addition, the day can drink different teas at different times: a cup of light green tea in the morning, wake up and clear the mind; morning drink jasmine tea, fragrant and pleasant, can improve work efficiency; afternoon drink a cup of black tea, sleepy and refreshing; evening with friends or family reunion, brew a pot of oolong or pu-erh, not a lot of fun, but also does not affect sleep.
