When you reach middle age, you should be careful when drinking tea. You should master the three things to drink and the three things not to drink. Only by drinking tea can you be healthy.

At forty, people are free from doubts. People of this age have both elderly parents and young children to take care of. They are also the backbone of the family, so health is more important. People of this age generally have the habit of drinking tea. Middle-aged people can achieve the health-preserving effect of drinking tea by choosing the right type of tea and paying attention to the way of drinking tea. What kind of tea can middle-aged people drink? What kind of tea can't they drink?

There are many types of tea, and there are many things to pay attention to when drinking tea. People of different ages have different choices of tea. For middle-aged people, the following three types of tea are more suitable for drinking.

Chrysanthemum Health Tea

There are many types of chrysanthemum tea. Huai chrysanthemum is one of the four major Huai medicines. Middle-aged people can choose Huai chrysanthemum tea. Huai chrysanthemum is divided into yellow chrysanthemum, white chrysanthemum and fetal chrysanthemum. These three types of chrysanthemum tea also have their own special effects. When people reach middle age, they have more or less liver problems, and fatty liver is more common.

For middle-aged people, white chrysanthemum is more suitable. White chrysanthemum has the effect of calming the liver and suppressing yang, and can protect the liver. When brewing chrysanthemum tea, you can sprinkle a few wolfberries to make wolfberry chrysanthemum tea. The two together play a role that is more than just one plus one equals two.

green tea

Chinese people have a long history of drinking tea. Among the many types of tea, green tea is more popular among consumers. Green tea consumed by Chinese people accounts for more than 80% of the total sales each year. In addition, green tea contains a lot of nutrients, such as tea polysaccharides, tea polyphenols, theanine, etc.

When you are in your forties or fifties, your body starts to go downhill. At this time, your physical fitness cannot be compared with that of a young man in his twenties. You may have high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood sugar. For these chronic diseases, there is often a problem of being difficult to cure. As a traditional healthy drink with Chinese characteristics, tea can also play a positive role in human health. For example, the tea polysaccharides contained in green tea are also known as natural "insulin", which can regulate blood sugar and help control blood sugar.

Wolfberry Health Tea

Wolfberry has always been regarded as a good health product. As early as in the Compendium of Materia Medica, there were records of wolfberry. Today's young people have also realized the role of wolfberry. The post-90s generation has also started the health mode of soaking wolfberry in a thermos cup. Every year on Double Eleven, the sales volume of wolfberry will be refreshed. Why is wolfberry so popular? This depends on the nutrients contained in wolfberry.

Lycopene contained in wolfberry is a prominent nutrient and the most effective antioxidant active substance known so far, with an antioxidant capacity 100 times that of vitamin E. It is precisely because of this powerful antioxidant effect that lycopene can significantly reduce serum lipid levels and prevent the oxidative damage of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

The above three types of health tea can not only help the human body replenish nutrients, but also help the human body replenish water. After all, water is the source of life, and we need to drink enough water every day. If we insist on drinking health tea every day, the benefits we want will gradually appear in our bodies. However, some teas are not suitable for middle-aged people. If these teas are drunk frequently, they will have adverse effects on physical health.

1. Slimming tea

Many people may have maintained a good body in their twenties and thirties, but after they reach forty, they find that even if they exercise every day, they may have fat on their waists. At this time, losing weight becomes an important thing. In order to maintain a good figure, some people will choose slimming tea. Drinking it for a week may reduce the weight by three or four pounds.

In fact, this method of weight loss is not advisable. Although slimming tea can reduce weight in a short period of time, it is more likely to rebound, and slimming tea often contains substances such as senna. Senna is a strong laxative that promotes the discharge of a large amount of feces in a short period of time, which has the effect of reducing weight. However, frequent drinking of slimming tea with senna added can cause intestinal dysfunction and form dependence, which is not conducive to intestinal health.

2. Milk tea

Milk tea, just by the name, sounds like a wonderful drink. Women have a strong desire for milk tea and always like to drink a cup of milk tea when they go to work. However, although milk tea brings a silky taste, it also has adverse effects on the body. Most milk teas are added with sugar during the production process. Drinking milk tea will increase the intake of sugar invisibly.

Excessive intake of refined sugar will also increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. Some milk tea may be mixed with creamer. Creamer often contains trans fatty acids. This substance has more adverse effects on the body. For milk tea, try to drink less. After all, the milk tea sold is rarely made from milk and tea leaves.

3. Overnight tea

When talking about overnight tea, many people will immediately think of the claim that overnight tea causes cancer. In fact, although overnight tea contains nitrite, the content is low, and the tea polyphenols contained in tea can inhibit the production of nitrosamines, so overnight tea will not cause cancer. Since overnight tea does not cause cancer, does it mean that it can be safely consumed?

The answer is no. After brewed tea is left for a long time, microorganisms that are not good for human health will grow in the tea. From a nutritional point of view, it is better to drink tea freshly brewed and drink it as soon as possible, so as to avoid "overnight tea" as much as possible. If you choose to drink cold brewed tea, you must put the tea in the refrigerator to drink healthy cold brewed tea.

Tea is a traditional Chinese health drink. The many health benefits of tea are based on the correct way of drinking tea. I hope every tea lover can remember the three things to drink and three things not to drink, so that you can drink tea to be healthy.
