The benefits and harms of tea: what every lover of the drink needs to know
Tea is present in the diet every day, but no one thinks that, despite its good taste and beneficial properties, it has a number of negative qualities.
First, you need to know what tea is?
Tea is a drink obtained by brewing previously dried tea tree leaves.
In ancient times it was used exclusively for medicinal purposes, but over time, thanks to the Chinese, it became a daily drink.
Research shows that a cup of tea in the morning helps you to perk up and get a positive outlook for the whole day.
Fresh tea infusion is used to treat a variety of diseases.
For example, black tea can perfectly flush the kidneys. To do this, you need to drink 2-3 cups of tea in a row every hour or 2 hours.
Pu-erh tea helps to avoid cancer, it blocks the growth of cancer cells and removes free radicals from the body.
Green tea is useful for slow metabolism. It is important to know that green tea is steeped longer than black tea and due to this it releases more useful substances into the water.
It is for this reason that people serving in the armed forces are given tea brewed in the traditional way, rather than from tea bags.
Tea has a positive effect on the body in the treatment of diseases such as capillary inflammation, scurvy, nephritis, measles, etc. Metal welders have a special way of using tea leaves.
During work, they can get so-called "bunnies": a burn of the retina or mucous membrane of the eye due to exposure to bright rays during welding.
These "bunnies" come in varying degrees of severity, and for mild burns, welders apply cotton pads soaked in very strong tea or tea bags themselves to their eyes. This method reduces swelling and soothes eye irritation.
Tea invigorates the body and is a good tonic due to its caffeine content. Theobromine and theophylline, which are related to caffeine, help to naturally remove harmful substances from a person.
Despite the above-described benefits of tea, experts recommend limiting its consumption to 2-3 cups per day.
The fact is that the caffeine contained in tea can cause addiction and negatively affect the nervous system.
