Introduction: Office workers today face numerous troubles—lack of sunlight, poor air circulation, and constant exposure to radiation-emitting office equipment like computers, printers, and copiers. To passively endure this damage without taking any corrective measures is akin to a slow suicide. What can be done to protect oneself? Why not start with the essential glass of water at your desk? Brew a pot of fine tea to make your life healthier!
Nourish the Liver and Spleen, Protect Vision
Daily computer use can lead to fatigue and dryness in the eyes, no matter how healthy they are. It is recommended to steep 10 chrysanthemum flowers, 5 globe flowers, 5 grams of cassia seeds, and 3 grams of goji berries in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Even if you are not nearsighted, you should brew this drink regularly. It is very helpful for relieving eye soreness, fatigue, and vision decline caused by prolonged computer use.
For office workers who often experience dry eyes, chrysanthemum is the top choice. Chrysanthemum clears heat and toxins, nourishes the liver and brightens the eyes, and can refresh the mind and brighten the vision. It is especially effective for dry eyes caused by liver fire and overuse of the eyes. Globe flowers soothe the throat and nourish the liver and eyes. Cassia seeds have a remarkable effect on treating eye diseases. Goji berries tonify the liver, benefit the kidneys, and brighten the eyes. They are an excellent food for nourishing yin and blood. Daily consumption can improve fatigue from overuse of the eyes and at the same time keep the eyes moist and bright.
Anti-Radiation, Resist the Office Enemy
Radiation is the greatest enemy in the office and must be guarded against, as it is directly linked to the terrifying word—cancer. You can use 8 rose flowers, 2 roselle flowers, 2 grams of Gynostemma pentaphyllum, and 2 grams of green tea, steeped in 90°C water for 3-5 minutes before drinking.
Gynostemma pentaphyllum can combat electronic radiation. Roselle is a powerful antioxidant that has a protective effect against electronic radiation. The polyphenols in green tea have strong antioxidant activity, which can remove oxygen free radicals from the body, thus acting against radiation and enhancing the body's immunity. It can also absorb radioactive substances in the body and excrete them through urine and stool, reducing or eliminating the harm of X-rays to the body. Rose flowers regulate qi, relieve depression, invigorate blood, and nourish the skin, serving as an auxiliary role.
Detoxification, Beautify the Skin
The most prominent symptoms of the office syndrome are also constipation and facial acne, which stem from multiple hazards such as air pollution and radiation. These two persistent ailments cause many office workers endless trouble. It is recommended to use 5 grams of honeysuckle, 3 grams of lavender, 10 grams of licorice, and 5 grams of honey, steeped in warm water for 5-10 minutes. Honeysuckle clears heat and toxins, and reduces inflammation and acne. Lavender reduces inflammation and acne, calms the mind, whitens and tightens the skin, repairs scars, promotes metabolism, and accelerates scar healing. Licorice tonifies the spleen and qi, and clears heat and toxins. As for honey, its effects of promoting bowel movements, detoxifying, and beautifying the skin are well-known to all.
Weight Loss, Brew a Graceful Figure
As the saying goes, "If you don't lose weight in spring, you'll only be sorry in summer." To maintain a graceful figure, you must say goodbye to sweets. But there are always times when you crave something sweet. If there was a tea that was genuinely sweet but very low in calories, would you drink it?
Monk fruit tea is such a wonderful beverage. Although as sweet as sugar, its calorie count is nearly zero. Most Chinese teas have the effect of promoting fat metabolism, and Pu-erh tea is a master at eliminating excess fat. The elements in tea can enhance the breakdown of abdominal fat. Pu-erh tea has a special taste, but it is not bitter. Swelling, especially facial swelling, can affect your work performance. The treatment for swelling mainly involves expelling excess water from the body to achieve a de-swelling effect. On days when you are swollen, persist in drinking mugwort tea. It has the effects of diuresis and detoxification, making it a key player in reducing swelling.
Tasting tea in early spring will surely bring good health to office workers. Friends, why not give it a try.
