1. What benefits does Guanyin Wang have?

1. Anti-aging

The polyphenol compounds in Tieguanyin can prevent excessive oxidation; purine alkaloids can indirectly play a role in scavenging free radicals, thereby achieving the purpose of delaying aging.

2. Anti-cancer

The catechin (EGCG) in Tieguanyin has strong anti-cancer mutation activity, and vitamin C and vitamin E can block the synthesis of the carcinogen——nitrosamine, playing a significant role in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

3. Anti-arteriosclerosis

The tea polyphenol compounds and vitamins in Tieguanyin can inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein in the blood. Tea polyphenol compounds can not only lower cholesterol in the blood, but also significantly improve the ratio of high-density lipoprotein to low-density lipoprotein in the blood.

4. Prevention and treatment of diabetes

Regular tea drinking can promptly supplement vitamin B1, pantothenic acid, phosphoric acid, methyl salicylate and polyphenols in the human body, and can prevent the occurrence of diabetes. For patients with moderate and mild diabetes, it can reduce blood sugar and urine sugar to very low levels, or completely normal; for patients with severe diabetes, it can lower blood sugar and urine sugar and reduce various major symptoms.

5. Weight loss and fitness

Tieguanyin contains a large amount of tea polyphenol substances, which can not only improve the effect of fat-decomposing enzymes, but also promote the metabolic activity of neutral lipase in tissues. Therefore, drinking Tieguanyin can improve the body shape of obese people, effectively reduce subcutaneous fat and waist circumference in obese people, thereby reducing their body weight.

6. Prevention and treatment of dental caries

Tieguanyin contains relatively abundant fluoride, while ordinary foods contain very little fluoride. About 40%~80% of the fluoride in Tieguanyin dissolves in boiling water, and it easily combines with the calcium in teeth, forming a layer of calcium fluoride on the tooth surface, playing a role in acid resistance and caries resistance.

7. Sterilization and stopping diarrhea

Tieguanyin can play a role in sterilizing and stopping diarrhea, mainly because it contains tea polyphenol compounds. After tea polyphenols enter the gastrointestinal tract, they can relax the tense function of the intestines and ease intestinal movement; at the same time, they can coagulate intestinal proteins. Because bacteria themselves are composed of protein, after tea polyphenols encounter bacterial protein, the bacteria die, playing a role in protecting the gastrointestinal mucosa, so it has the effect of treating enteritis.

8. Clearing heat and reducing internal heat

The tea infusion contains tea polyphenols, sugars, amino acids, pectin, vitamins and others that undergo chemical reactions with saliva in the mouth, moistening the mouth, so it can play a role in promoting salivation and quenching thirst. At the same time, due to the effect of caffeine in Tieguanyin, a large amount of energy is promoted to dissipate from the skin pores of the human body.

9. Refreshing the mind and benefiting thinking

Tieguanyin can refresh the mind and benefit thinking, and its function mainly lies in the caffeine in the tea. Caffeine has the function of exciting the central nervous system, improving thinking, and increasing efficiency. At the same time, because Tieguanyin contains compounds such as polyphenols, it offsets the adverse effects of pure caffeine on the human body.

10. Sobering up from alcohol and resisting smoke

The main component of alcohol is ethanol, and a cup of liquor contains 10%~70% alcohol. Tea polyphenols in Tieguanyin can offset ethanol (the main component in liquor), so drinking tea can sober a person up.

Everyone is advised to consume Guanyin Wang in daily life to prevent and treat diseases.
