Tea Polyphenols

Tea polyphenols play an important role in preventing heart disease and delaying aging. Since high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the human body can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerotic plaques, tea polyphenols help inhibit atherosclerosis. Drinking at least one cup of tea a day will reduce the chance of a heart attack. Tea polyphenols have a strong inhibitory effect on the over-oxidation of fatty acids produced in the human body, thus preventing aging.

Caffeine

The caffeine in tea can stimulate the human central nervous system, enhance the excitation process of the cerebral cortex, and have a refreshing effect. According to research experiments, tea contains 2-5% caffeine. Drinking several cups of tea a day can neutralize acidic substances in muscles, eliminate fatigue, refresh the spirit, and improve work efficiency. At the same time, because caffeine can enhance the secretion of gastric glands, it can promote appetite and help gastrointestinal digestion.

Vitamin C

The vitamin C in tea can reduce the opacity of the eye lens. Regularly drinking tea has a positive effect on protecting eyes and improving eyesight. Drinking more tea can prevent cataracts. Smokers can intake an appropriate amount of vitamin C by drinking tea, especially by insisting on drinking green tea, which can fully compensate for the vitamin C deficiency caused by smoking, maintain the dynamic balance of free radical production and clearance in the human body, and enhance human resistance.

Aromatic Substances

"Ben Cao Bei Yao" records: "Tea can relieve greasiness from rich foods, reduce inflammation and toxicity, promote urination, and when consumed in quantity, it reduces fat and removes oil." The aromatic substances in tea can decompose fat and aid digestion. At the same time, aromatic substances can also give people a feeling of excitement and pleasure, increase gastric juice secretion, and promote the consumption of protein and fat. People who often drink tea can also prevent the accumulation of cholesterol and have the effect of lowering blood pressure.
