What Tea Is Good for Health Preservation?

Green tea is cold in nature, making it suitable for those with a hot constitution, high stomach fire, and abundant energy. Now that summer has arrived and the weather is getting hotter, drinking some green tea can help quench thirst and cool the body. In addition, those who sit in front of computers working can also drink green tea daily, as green tea has radiation protection effects.

Yellow tea is also cold in nature, and its effects are similar to green tea. It is rich in many components such as theophylline and tea polyphenols, which can affect the activity of the stomach, so those with weak stomachs should not drink it. Additionally, it can affect the body's absorption of iron, so pregnant women should not drink yellow tea.

White tea is cool in nature, and the suitable population is similar to that of green tea. However, “the aged green tea is grass, but the aged white tea is treasure,” as aged white tea has the effect of dispelling evil and supporting health.

Oolong Tea (also known as green tea) is neutral in nature and is suitable for the broadest range of people. There are many good Oolong teas, especially aged ones, that produce a pleasant fruit acid. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sour flavors enter the liver meridian, thus having the effect of regulating the liver and qi. However, those with spleen and stomach ailments should not drink too much. Avoid drinking oolong tea on an empty stomach, as it can cause “tea drunkenness,” symptoms of which include dizziness, palpitations, and weakness in the hands and feet.

Black tea is warm in nature and is suitable for those with cold stomachs, cold hands and feet, weakness, and older age. When we make milk tea at home, we use black tea, which tastes even better with the addition of milk and honey. Women who like to drink tea can also drink black tea in the summer, as most women have a cold constitution.

Dark tea is warm in nature and can eliminate greasiness, detoxify meat, and lower cholesterol. Those with dark and dull complexions, sore throats, decreased appetite, dysentery, cold backs and feet, back pain, and reduced vitality would benefit from drinking this tea.

However, those with severe arteriosclerosis or unstable hypertension should not drink strong dark tea when their condition is unstable; anemic patients and those with low blood sugar should not drink dark tea.
