2. Are you clear on the eight benefits of Chinese green tea?
1. Green tea's benefit: anti-aging
Green tea contains many trace elements, and drinking it regularly can have an anti-aging effect. You can see that the people who drink a lot of tea in daily life are generally middle-aged and older adults, yet among these middle-aged and older adults, those who drink green tea age more slowly than those who do not, and this is because of the effect of the trace elements in green tea.
2. Green tea's benefit: antibacterial
Some elements in green tea are extracted by boiling water, and when they reach a person's stomach they can have a sterilizing effect. Today's environment and diet force us to pay attention to our own bodies, and sterilization is the most basic protection for the body.
3. Green tea's benefit: lowering blood lipids
Green tea contains vitamin K, an element that many foods do not have, and it mainly helps lower blood lipids. Nowadays, because of irregular eating habits, many middle-aged and older adults develop high blood pressure, and at such times drinking a little green tea every day can help you lower your blood lipids.
4. Green tea's benefit: slimming and fat reduction
The vitamin C contained in green tea can promote the dissolution of dietary fiber. If you have eaten something greasy and do not want to gain weight, you can brew a cup of green tea after the meal to help you slim down and reduce fat.
5. Green tea's benefit: preventing cavities and clearing bad breath
If you look it up online, you will know that green tea contains fluoride, which has a corrosive effect; especially when your teeth are yellowing or your mouth has an odor, drinking green tea can help you prevent cavities and clear bad breath.
6. Green tea's benefit: cancer prevention
That green tea has a cancer-preventing benefit is acknowledged by everyone, so there is no need to say much about it; a quick search online will tell you. Nowadays, many middle-aged and older adults drink green tea every day in order to prevent cancer.
7. Green tea's benefit: radiation protection
Recently, a young woman in our department started drinking green tea every day. She comes in early in the morning, fills a big cup with boiled water, and brews a pot of tea that lasts the whole day. I asked her why she drinks green tea instead of black tea. She told me that green tea has a radiation-protection benefit, and that facing a computer every day means being exposed to plenty of radiation. After hearing that, I felt I should take action too. It is especially suitable for people who sit in an office every day.
8. Green tea's benefit: refreshing the mind
Besides coffee having a refreshing effect, green tea also has the benefit of refreshing the mind. At work it is hard to avoid feeling sleepy, and sleepiness affects work efficiency; at such times we can drink green tea to refresh the mind.
3. When is the best time of day to drink green tea? Before or after a meal?
1. When is the best time of day to drink green tea?
Green tea is relatively cold in nature, so you should not drink green tea first thing in the morning; it is best to drink it after midday, around one or two o'clock.
2. Is it better to drink green tea before or after a meal?
You cannot drink tea on an empty stomach, so it is best to drink green tea one hour after a meal, which can also help cleanse the digestive tract.
3. In which season is it best to drink green tea?
It is best to drink green tea in summer, because summer is hot and you sweat often, and drinking green tea has a heat-relieving benefit.
4. Can women drink green tea to lose weight?
Women can drink green tea to lose weight. Apart from its cancer-preventing benefit, green tea's greatest benefit is that it helps with weight loss. Besides helping with weight loss, women who drink green tea also get beauty and whitening, anti-aging, protection for your teeth, and clearing of mouth odor.
Note: women should not drink green tea during their period, because green tea is cold in nature, so it is best not to drink it during menstruation.
