Beautiful things are often interconnected, always bringing a kind of aesthetic enjoyment to humanity! When friends and relatives gather, a cup of alcohol is, of course, indispensable, letting us have a passionate time. After your passion subsides, do you also feel the need to care about the warmth and cold among loved ones? At this moment, you truly need a cup of tea. The care for warmth and cold among family, friends, and relatives is particularly important.
Overeating, drinking excessively, and having an irregular lifestyle can easily lead to physical discomfort. From a health preservation perspective, it is recommended that you regularly drink some tea, which can effectively promote metabolism, remove grease and oiliness, expel toxins from the body, and maintain good health. So, what kind of tea is ideal to drink?
First, it is best to choose some ripe Pu'er tea or black tea that has strong functions of aiding digestion, removing grease, and relieving alcohol effects, and is warm in nature.
Pu'er tea has a mild nature, warms the stomach without harming it, and this is particularly evident in ripe Pu'er tea. Modern science has proven that Pu'er tea contains statin-like substances, giving it special efficacy in lowering blood lipids. When blood lipids are lowered, it naturally brings about weight loss effects. As early as in the Compendium of Materia Medica, there is a record stating, "Pu'er tea tastes bitter, resolves greasiness, beef and mutton toxicity... scrapes the intestines and promotes discharge," which mentions Pu'er tea's efficacy in resolving greasiness and aiding weight loss.
Modern medical research on the efficacy of Pu'er tea concludes that it has multiple benefits: warming the stomach, weight loss, lowering lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis, preventing coronary heart disease, lowering blood pressure, anti-aging, anti-cancer, lowering blood sugar, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, reducing tobacco toxicity, anti-radiation, preventing dental caries, improving eyesight, aiding digestion, preventing constipation, relieving alcohol effects, and more. Among these, the effects of warming the stomach, weight loss, lowering lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis, preventing coronary heart disease, lowering blood pressure, anti-aging, anti-cancer, and lowering blood sugar are particularly prominent.
Second, choose some semi-fermented Oolong teas, such as Tieguanyin, Da Hong Pao, Taiwanese Oolong, etc.
Oolong tea, commonly known as Oolong tea, has been confirmed by modern domestic and international scientific research. In addition to the general health functions of tea—such as refreshing the mind, eliminating fatigue, promoting saliva and diuresis, sterilization and anti-inflammation, detoxification and disease prevention, aiding digestion and removing greasiness, weight loss and body shaping—Oolong tea is particularly outstanding in its special efficacy in preventing cancer, lowering blood lipids, and anti-aging.
Furthermore, because Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea, its nature is relatively mild, making it also suitable for consumption during the Spring Festival period. For example, Tieguanyin is a famous tea unique to China, with a long history and exquisite craftsmanship. It has a sweet, mellow, and rich taste with a lasting fragrant aroma. Regular drinking can detoxify, aid digestion, remove greasiness, beautify and aid weight loss, resist aging, prevent cancer, enhance intelligence, make one smarter, foster friendship and cultivate temperament, and improve mood.
Third, white tea can be chosen, such as White Peony, Baihao Yinzhen, Gongmei, Shoumei, etc.
White tea is one of the six major tea categories in China. White tea is a specialty of Fujian, with main production areas in Fuding, Zhenghe, and other places. The basic processes are withering and drying. Withering is the key process in forming the quality of white tea. White tea is a lightly fermented tea and a special treasure among Chinese tea categories. It is named because its finished tea is mostly buds, covered with white hairs, resembling silver or snow.
The efficacy of white tea includes: preventing cancer, anti-cancer, preventing heatstroke, detoxification, treating toothache, especially aged white tea can be used as a fever reducer for children with measles, and its fever-reducing effect is better than antibiotics.
The longer white tea is stored, the higher its medicinal value. White tea also contains rich vitamin A原, which, after being absorbed by the body, can make eyes see more clearly in dim light, preventing night blindness and dry eye disease. At the same time, white tea contains anti-radiation substances, which have a significant protective effect on the human body's hematopoietic function and can reduce the harm of TV radiation. Therefore, drinking more white tea while watching TV during the Spring Festival has numerous benefits and no harm, especially for children and teenagers. It is advocated to drink more white tea, which is beneficial for protecting eyes and strengthening the body.
Additionally, one can drink some scented tea made with authentic craftsmanship or early spring green tea.
Because scented tea can dispel the cold that accumulates in the human body during winter. The rich fragrance of scented tea can promote the growth of yang energy in the human body. In spring, when everything revives, people are prone to drowsiness. At this time, brewing a cup of rich, fragrant, and refreshing scented tea can not only refresh the mind and clear sleepiness but also help dispel cold pathogens from the body and promote the growth of human yang energy.
