Puer Tea is a natural free radical scavenger with notable effects in antioxidation, delaying aging, and preventing cardiovascular diseases. As the public brand “Xianyang Puer Tea” gains increasing recognition, the Health benefits of Puer tea products are being taken more seriously by an ever-growing number of consumers. Recently, we have been sharing excerpts from “Speaking of Puer Tea,” authored by Liu Xiang, Vice President of the Shaanxi Tea Circulation Association and member of the association's expert committee. The book, published by World Books Publishing and selected as one of the top ten tea books by the Tea Industry Media Alliance, delves into the health benefits of Puer tea, aiming to help consumers gain a more comprehensive understanding of it.

Those who regularly drink Puer tea tend to look younger.

Aging is an inevitable law of life. While it is both frightening and unavoidable, it can be delayed. Among the over 300 theories or hypotheses explaining the mechanisms of aging, the free radical theory is the most prominent.

The body waste produced within our bodies, known as free radicals, if not promptly cleared, can accumulate and cause various diseases, such as heart and brain vascular disease, stroke, darkened skin tone, age spots, etc.

Therefore, eliminating excess free radicals can delay aging and maintain a youthful state.

With the passage of time and the increase in age, everyone grows old, but everyone hopes to age slowly and appear younger. Thus, many people start buying health supplements and skincare products in search of methods for beauty and youthfulness.

However, there are always some individuals who do not spend large sums on health supplements nor pursue expensive skincare products, yet they still seem relatively young. Studies have found that among this group, most have a long-term habit of Drinking Tea.

Ultraviolet rays are factors that trigger the production of superficial layer free radicals in the skin and are also significant contributors to aging. Radiation can cause the rupture of biological molecules and water molecules within the body, generating a large number of free radicals that damage the skin.

Some elderly individuals, diabetics, and those with high cholesterol often have darker skin tones, sometimes even blue or purple, and in severe cases, yellowish-brown spots or age spots may appear on their skin. These are all signs of poor health, primarily due to the accumulation of free radicals in the superficial layers of the skin.

The human body's blood vessels can be figuratively divided into “nutrient pathways,” “constant flow pathways,” and “temperature regulation pathways.”

Nutrient Pathways

These are mainly responsible for supplying nutrients to organs. At the front end of these nutrient pathways are “muscle valves” that control the flow of blood, functioning like “regulating valves” to adjust the amount of blood flow. The degree to which these “muscle valves” are open depends on the sympathetic nervous system's assessment of the CO₂ content in the organs or downstream pathways. Higher CO₂ levels indicate a need for oxygen in the cells, prompting the “muscle valve” at the front to open wider, increasing blood flow. Conversely, the “muscle valve” will be adjusted smaller or closed when CO₂ levels are low.

Constant Flow Pathways

When the body or certain organs are in a state of minimal energy consumption, certain pathways must remain open to ensure normal blood circulation. The walls of constant flow blood vessels are thick and dense. They do not exchange blood with the body's tissues and organs, ensuring blood returns properly.

Temperature Regulation Pathways

These are primarily responsible for regulating body temperature and are mainly located in the superficial layers of the body to facilitate heat exchange with the external environment.

As people age and experience health issues, their microcirculatory systems deteriorate, leading to blockages in nutrient pathways, constant flow pathways, and temperature regulation pathways, causing organ dysfunction and weakness in the limbs.

Temperature-regulating vessels are primarily distributed across the surface of the body. If these “temperature pathways” are not properly maintained and are suddenly exposed to extreme heat or cold, the blood vessel switches become disordered. When combined with the already high levels of free radicals in the body, this can lead to the accumulation of free radicals in the superficial capillaries and surrounding skin tissues, resulting in a darkened skin tone and, in severe cases, “pigmented patches” or age spots.

Additionally, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause melanin deposits in the skin's superficial layers. This is why people who work outdoors often have dark and rough skin.

Puer tea is rich in substances, including multiple antioxidants that have the function of clearing free radicals within the body. The polysaccharides from the golden flower fungus can increase superoxide dismutase levels in cells by 17% to 35%, and also enhance the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity and oxygen supply by about 20% to 40%. Consequently, the physiological metabolism around the body and skin capillaries is strengthened, reducing the chances of free radical and pigment accumulation.

Moreover, Puer tea contains Caffeine and quercetin, which can dilate capillaries and improve microcirculation in the body.

Sweating in a sauna is not conducive to heat dissipation, making it difficult to expel dampness and heat. Drinking hot tea and lightly sweating allows the skin pores to expand, facilitating detoxification.

Thus, regularly drinking Puer tea helps protect the skin and improves complexion, making one appear younger.

Quercetin

Quercetin is a flavonol compound widely distributed in the plant kingdom with a variety of biological activities. Quercetin combats free radicals by binding or capturing them, preventing lipid peroxidation in the body; it can directly inhibit tumors, effectively playing a role in cancer prevention and treatment; it also has strong biological activity in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiallergic properties, as well as in preventing diabetic complications. Additionally, quercetin has effects such as lowering blood pressure, enhancing the resistance of capillaries, reducing capillary fragility, lowering blood lipids, dilating coronary arteries, and increasing coronary blood flow, which can be beneficial for patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension. Given its lack of toxicity, quercetin is significant for treating and preventing cancer, aging, and cardiovascular diseases, and holds great potential for development.
