What are the precautions for drinking tea
What are the precautions for drinking tea? Experts say: Chinese people have liked drinking tea since ancient times, and tea is no longer just a beverage in people's lives. Patients with psoriasis can drink tea, especially green tea, because it is rich in "tea polyphenols," which are beneficial for cardiovascular health and prevention. So, what are the specific precautions for drinking tea? Let's find out below:
First, do not drink strong or hot tea. Generally, it is better to drink tea light rather than strong. Brewing with boiling water can quickly extract the active ingredients in the tea. Some very tender green teas, such as Longjing tea, can be brewed with water at 80℃ to 85℃ to ensure the tea has a pure aroma and a mellow taste. Director Tang reminds us that the human esophageal wall is very delicate and can only tolerate food at 50℃ to 60℃. Drinking tea that is too hot can easily scald the epithelial cells of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. Frequent repeated scalding can easily lead to mutations in epithelial cells, creating a potential for cancer.
Second, tea and medicine cannot be taken at the same time. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, you should not drink tea immediately after taking it, and even less should you use tea water to swallow the medicine, as this will affect the effective absorption of the drug.
Third, patients with cardiovascular diseases, people with weak spleen and stomach, and those who are prone to insomnia should not drink large amounts of tea.
Fourth, new tea should not be consumed in a hurry. Tea picked less than a month ago has not been stored for a long time, and its beneficial substances such as polyphenols, alcohols, and aldehydes have not been fully oxidized, which may lead to adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, and bloating after consumption. In addition, new tea also has higher levels of caffeine, active alkaloids, and various aromatic substances, which can easily overstimulate the nervous system, causing "tea intoxication" symptoms such as limb weakness, cold sweats, and insomnia.
The above content covers some precautions to take when drinking tea. Friendly reminder: Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as egg yolks, milk, and corn. Foods rich in carotene include carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes. Foods rich in vitamin B2 include peanuts, eggs, lean meat, and green vegetables.
