1) Drink Pu-erh tea to reduce the radiation pollution of smoking
Dr. Joseph DiFranzan of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center estimated that 30 cigarettes a day, his lungs in one year to get the amount of radiation from radioactive substances in the cigarette is equivalent to the amount of radiation in his skin in the chest X-ray machine through the chest for about 300 times. Drinking tea can effectively prevent radioactive substances from invading the bone marrow and can make strontium 90 and cobalt 60 rapidly discharged from the body, Pu'er tea leaves in the catechin-like substances and lipopolysaccharide substances can reduce the harm of radiation on the human body, the hematopoietic function has a significant protective effect. Pu-erh tea leaves agent treatment due to radiation-induced mild radiation sickness clinical trials have shown that its total effective rate of up to 90%
(2) drinking Pu-erh tea to reduce the possibility of smoking-induced cancer
Cigarettes contain more than 4,000 kinds of chemicals, more than 50 kinds of chemicals belong to the carcinogenic substances, but also through the respiratory tract absorption of these harmful substances are easy to diffuse in the whole body. Long-term smoking may not only lead to lung cancer, but also esophageal cancer, laryngeal cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer. Bladder cancer and other cancers, especially lung cancer patients smokers to account for 80% to 99.5%. Researchers from Houston Anderson Cancer Center have clarified the relationship between smoking and lung cancer from the molecular point of view, pointing out that the genetic variation caused by smoking is the direct cause of lung tumors. Drinking Pu-erh tea has anti-cancer effects. Tea polyphenols in tea can inhibit the release of free radicals and control the proliferation of cancer cells. Free radicals are a group of harmful substances produced by the human body in the process of respiration and metabolism while consuming oxygen, which exists in every cell of the human body and is a major hidden danger to the human body. Research has shown that free radicals are also an important cause of genetic mutation and carcinogenesis. Under normal circumstances, the human organism is in a dynamic balance of free radicals are constantly generated and constantly eliminated. It is worth pointing out that cigarettes are free radicals generator, it is determined that people smoke every day smoke can produce 10 of the 17th free radicals, smoking will destroy this dynamic balance. Free radicals produce too much, the possibility of human carcinogenicity has increased. The main body of tea polyphenols in tea catechins are a kind of antioxidant, but also a strong inhibitor of free radicals. It can inhibit tumorigenesis due to smoking. Tea polyphenols in green tea have a strong ability to scavenge free radicals, and they have a strong scavenging effect on superoxide anion free radicals. The Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene of the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medical Sciences, after studying 145 kinds of tea, confirmed that tea does have the ability to block the synthesis of nitrosamines in the human body. Yan Yusen, an expert in the test found that tea polyphenols into the human body can be combined with carcinogens, so that its decomposition, reducing carcinogenic activity, thereby inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. The United States Po Du University engaged in food and nutrition research Dorothy Moore said: "Our research shows that green tea leaves are rich in anticancer substances, the concentration of which is quite high, enough to produce anticancer effects in the body." Dr. John Weisberg, president emeritus of the American Health Foundation, who has forty years of extensive experience in cancer research, said, "My findings show that if you drink six cups of pu-erh tea a day, you can be cancer-free." The results of the study by researchers at Columbia University's Harcum Medical Center also show that green tea has anti-cancer properties. Therefore smokers drinking Pu-erh tea can help reduce the occurrence of cancer.
(3) Drink Pu-erh tea can supplement vitamin C
Smoking will prompt the human serum vitamin C and smoke in carbon monoxide, nitrosamines, nicotine, formaldehyde and other oxidized carcinogens combined, and then transformed into a non-toxic compounds or non-mutagenic substances discharged into the body, so that the vitamin C content is greatly reduced, resulting in the body of the garbage -- free radicals of a large number of accumulation, to the body. -Large accumulation of free radicals, leaving hidden dangers to the human body, exacerbating the damaging effects of free radicals on a variety of normal cells. For example, inhalation of harmful substances such as nicotine increases the concentration of oxygen free radicals in cells. Oxygen free radicals on human cells have an invasive effect, very easy to cause cancerous reaction, the United States researchers found that regular supplementation of a certain dose of vitamin C can be avoided by smoking this harm. Because vitamin C has an antioxidant effect, can inhibit the generation of oxygen free radicals, so that the body's cells from infringement. Tea is rich in vitamin C, especially green tea, under normal circumstances, Pu'er tea leaves in the vitamin C leaching rate can reach about 80%, the tea broth in the vitamin C in the temperature of 90 degrees Celsius is rarely destroyed. Smokers drinking Pu-erh tea can take in the right amount of vitamin C, especially insisting on drinking green tea, can completely supplement the lack of vitamin C due to smoking, in order to maintain the dynamic balance of the production and removal of free radicals in the body, and enhance the body's ability to resist.
(4) Drink Pu'er tea to prevent smoking cataracts
Smoking is becoming one of the major enemies of eye health, will promote cataracts. Harvard Medical School researchers found that, compared with those who never smoked, smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, the likelihood of cataracts is two times that of non-smokers, the greater the amount of smoking, the greater the likelihood of cataracts. In China's unexplained blindness in 4% of the people are caused by smoking. Canadian scientists have found that drinking more tea can prevent cataracts. They believe that cataracts are due to oxidative reactions in the body of free radicals in the lens of the eye due to the decomposition of tea polyphenols produced by the antioxidant metabolites can prevent the body from generating free radicals in the oxidative reactions occur. In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrition and Aging Research Center scientists recently found that the incidence of cataracts and human plasma carotene content and concentration of the size of the close relationship. Where cataract patients, their plasma carotene concentration is often very low, and the incidence rate is 3-4 times higher than normal. Pu'er tea leaves contain much higher carotene than general vegetables and fruits. Carotene not only has the effect of preventing cataracts and protecting the eyes, but also has the effect of preventing and fighting cancer, resisting nicotine and detoxifying tobacco. Smokers drink Pu-erh tea is good for protecting eyesight.
All in all, although drinking Pu'er tea has certain benefits for smokers, the purpose of this article is by no means to encourage people to go smoking, not to mention the fact that because of drinking tea can alleviate the harms of smoking and can be unscrupulous to go smoking. For the sake of your health, quitting smoking for good is our ultimate day's! If you have a friend who can't say goodbye to tobacco for a while because of his addiction, send him a box of Puerh Tea from Dayuanchang and warn him to quit smoking.
