Is drinking tea really good for your health?

People like drinking tea for two reasons. The first is that tea tastes good, and the second is that drinking tea is good for health. Some people just regard tea as an ordinary drink, and drinking tea is no different from drinking water. Of course, some people value the taste of tea, like the aroma and taste of tea, and regard it as an unusual drink, but in the final analysis, it is just a drink. Some people pay more attention to the pharmacological effects of tea than the taste of tea. It can be said that drinking tea is for the efficacy of tea, or that drinking tea is for health. Some people who don't know much about tea may ask, is drinking tea really good for your health?

Drinking tea is naturally beneficial to your health, but only if you drink tea correctly and reasonably. The so-called rationality is healthy tea drinking, such as not drinking tea on an empty stomach, not drinking a lot of strong tea, not drinking a lot of overnight tea, not drinking tea to take medicine, not drinking tea after drinking, and not drinking tea before going to bed. In addition, you can drink tea according to your physical condition and state at that time. If we have a cold and a fever, we shouldn't drink a lot of tea. If you are a person with a bad stomach, you should also drink tea in moderation, and you can drink some tea with little irritation. Drinking tea is a good way of life, but based on rationality and health, drinking tea at will is unhealthy.

Let's look back at the records about the efficacy of tea in ancient books. Lu Yu of Cha Sheng wrote in the Book of Tea: Tea is used, tastes cold, and is most suitable for people to drink. If you are hot, thirsty, stuffy, have a headache, your eyes are dull, your limbs are inflamed and your joints are uncomfortable, just say four or five mouthfuls to compete with you and Manna. Lu Yu thinks tea is the best drink, so thrifty people like to drink tea. In fact, tea has many functional origins. For example, some foods say that "the ancients ate grass and drank water", and for example, Shennong's Herbal Classic records that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs every day and was poisoned by 72 drugs, so he solved it with tea.

In a word, there are many ancient books in China that record the discussion about drinking tea and health. Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases: Tea is very effective in treating purulent blood. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica: Tea tastes bitter and cold, and the yin in the yin is strong and healthy, which can best reduce fire. Supplement to materia medica: breaking hot air and eliminating miasma. Herbal Shu Shu: Ming, this classic is sweet in taste, slightly cold in gas, non-toxic, and bitter in word, but there are also people who are not bitter. Besides, many ancient people worshipped tea, such as Su Shi, Song Huizong and Gan Long. They all liked tea.

Tea has pharmacological effect, and tea has health care effect on human body, but we should also face it squarely and treat it reasonably. After all, it's just a drink, not a medicine, so tea can't be equated with medicine. It is wrong to really drink tea as medicine.
