Named the unique properties of different types of tea

Select the best option for themselves.

Every day is getting colder, and we often warm up with tea. So this drink not tired, many are doing their “tea card” multi-colored: besides the classic black and green, buy yellow, white, red teas. They differ in color and taste, but have a common “talent”: improving the General body tone and delivery to it of the order of 500 nutrients; increased blood circulation and, as a consequence, the flow of more oxygen to the cells; the activation of mental abilities and good mood; increase metabolic rate and normalizing the digestion, improving absorption of nutrients from food.

But everyone has tea and special properties. About them we spoke with Boris Skachko, dietician, therapist, herbalist, medical blogger.

White — drink immediately after brewing

This tea is harvested from the buds of the tea tree (that is, it is the most fresh) and do not undergo fermentation. Therefore, the content of nutrients in it is highest, in particular vitamin C in this tea — about 300 mg/100 g (for example, in red it is not more than 30 mg/100). In addition, white tea is the leader in content of chlorophyll, a substance that increases the level of hemoglobin in the blood, and the enemy of carcinogens.

To get the maximum amount of ascorbic acid, white tea should be drunk freshly brewed, the longer the boiling water affects the vitamin C, the more it breaks down and/or oxidized.

Red — a bit of sugar with butter

This tea is rich in vitamin A. Therefore is perfect for the beginning of the day people, long time working at a computer, or those who due to work needs for a long time to focus on the details: tea at the same time protonium vessels, including the visual apparatus, and “feed” the eye needed for the functioning of beta-carotene. Vitamin a is absorbed only in tandem with vitamin E, because to obtain such effect to the eyes tea drink with a bit of sugar sandwich with butter.

Green — add the honey

This tea removes excess fluid from the body. Therefore, it is good for colds, in which it is important to wash the toxins produced by viruses. To get the cleansing effect of water per day, a sick person should drink at least 2 l. Otherwise, the body cells will be dehydrated and there is not enough liquid — there is nothing to remove toxins. Besides suffering from the body needs more antioxidants. If you add honey, it will trigger the transition of the inactive sugars in the tea leaves into the active form, — they fight free radicals.

Black with a slice of lemon

The bioflavonoids in tea prevent atherosclerosis, premature aging and reduce pain. The latter effect is indispensable during menstruation in women. Enhances the action of bioflavonoids and ascorbic acid, because black tea with lemon — perfect tandem. In addition, “askorbinka” increases the solubility of caffeine that helps the latter is better absorbed.

Yellow — don’t drink on an empty stomach

Any tea due to tannin and caffeine stimulates the appetite and digestion. Also, as in other teas, in yellow there is another important component, a positive influence on the digestive tract, — tannins that have anti-inflammatory properties. However, their yellow tea due to the fact that it was the middle stage of fermentation, not a little, but not much. And this is good because a large amount of tannin coagulates the mucosa of the stomach, which impairs the usefulness of the digestion and absorption of some nutrients. Due to the specified effects on the gastric mucosa tea should not be consumed on an empty stomach. It also shouldn’t drink just before eating.

The rules of the tea party

SHOULDN’T BE DRINKING WITH THE BLUES. And when fatigue and lack of sleep. In these conditions the disturbed reactions of excitation and inhibition in the brain. Its enhanced features will only aggravate the health.

TABOOS FOR HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS. And for people with any diseases of the heart, blood vessels and kidneys. Stimulation of the cardiovascular system and Central nervous system will bring chaos to the work of diseased organs, why can sharply increase the pressure, to occur acute heart or kidney failure.

MORE THAN TWO CUPS A DAY. In the large number of tea will lead to overstimulation of the Central nervous system. This condition is uncomfortable in itself. Another negative consequence is the breakdown: when excessive stimulation of the body launches an emergency sedation to suppress hyperactivity of nerve impulses, has a devastating effect on all organs and systems.

6-8 HOURS OF SLEEP. Tea, drunk after this time may degrade your night sleep to the evening, subject to circadian rhythms, the body significantly reduces the production of adrenaline, a forced increase in the level of this hormone will disrupt biological rhythms in the body.

WITHOUT “MADE IN CHINA” UNDER STRESS. The caffeine in tea differs depending on where it is grown. So, tea is a native of Georgia, Krasnodar or England contains up to 2.5% caffeine, while assembled in China, and Ceylon — not less than 5.5%. Therefore pay attention to the “home” of tea on the label and refrain from adrenaline, if you are hot-headed or stressee.

NOT IMMEDIATELY AFTER A MEAL. Tea prevents absorption of iron. Therefore, drinking immediately after lunch, he would leave the body without a dose of hemoglobin, not allowing the iron from meat to get into the blood. If you want to get magnesium from chocolate (improves the mood), then also do without tea: this mineral it forms insoluble complexes, making the magnesium passes through the body in transit.
