Many people still argue about what is healthier, coffee or tea. And tea lovers, in turn, are divided into lovers of green and black tea.
At the same time, part of the population recognizes as tea only that which is brewed from medicinal herbs collected by hand.
But this is a fundamentally wrong approach, because each type of tea has its own advantages and contraindications.
Green tea
Conducted studies show that natural green tea improves metabolism and prevents the aging process.
It also counteracts inflammation, reduces blood pressure, strengthens the immune system, tones, and protects against dementia and degenerative diseases.
Black tea
This type of brewing tones up not much worse, contains vitamins and minerals, promotes wound healing, helps fight intestinal infections, cleanses the body of toxins, is good for gums, oral cavity, joints, bone tissue, restores metabolism and helps fight stress.
Herbal tea
Chamomile tea has medicinal properties.
This drink is recommended for allergy sufferers, protects against inflammation, stimulates digestion, cleanses from toxins, and is harmless to microflora.
The popular fireweed also has an anti-inflammatory effect and is good for the stomach and immune system.
No less popular are mixtures of herbs and shrub leaves, rosehip infusion, etc.
Conclusion
To sum it up, it should be noted that black tea is not recommended for excitable people due to caffeine.
It increases blood pressure and may be contraindicated in kidney disease, gastritis and ulcers.
Green tea is contraindicated in cases of high acidity, kidney stones, insomnia. It should also not be drunk on an empty stomach.
Herbal tea also has its contraindications and much depends on the herb or berries from which the infusion is prepared.
In addition, not all herbs are compatible with each other and may be contraindicated when taken with medications.
Therefore, we can talk about the harm or benefit of a drink in an individual case, in the presence or absence of contraindications.
For reference
Tea is a drink obtained by boiling, brewing and/or infusing tea leaves, which are pre-prepared in a special way.
