What is the therapeutic effect of oolong tea?
The popularity of oolong tea is entirely due to its fat-dissolving and slimming effect, and this statement does have scientific basis. Because tannic acid, the main component of tea, is proved to be closely related to fat metabolism, and the experimental results also confirm that oolong tea can really reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, which is really a rare slimming tea. As we all know, oolong tea is the representative of China tea, which is a semi-fermented tea, and its characteristic is transparent amber tea juice. But in fact, oolong tea is just a general term, and it can be subdivided into many different kinds of tea. For example: Narcissus, Bai Mudan, Tieguanyin, which is suitable for seafood, and so on. There are many kinds, you can choose from them. Experiments show that drinking one liter of oolong tea every day can inhibit the rise of cholesterol. Although the amount to drink depends on everyone's physical condition, when the food is too greasy, it is best to match oolong tea, which will not only make you feel full, but also remove greasy. The health care function of oolong tea: tea magic, has long been known. Lu Quan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described the efficacy of tea like this: "One bowl moistens the throat, two bowls are lonely and boring, and three bowls are poor, with only 5,000 volumes of words; Four bowls of light sweat, unfair life, scattered to the pores; Five bowls of clear skin; Six bowls of fairy spirits; Seven bowls can't be eaten; I just feel a breeze under my arm. Wu Shu, a Song Dynasty poet, said in Tea Fu: "It is wonderful that a husband can relieve boredom and thirst, turn bones and strengthen the body, thanks to tea milk. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty said: "Tea tastes bitter and cold, and the yang in the yin will sink, which can best reduce the fire. "Oolong tea is a special famous tea in China. Modern scientific research at home and abroad has confirmed that oolong tea not only has health care functions such as refreshing the brain, relieving fatigue, promoting fluid production and diuresis, relieving fever and preventing diseases, killing bacteria and diminishing inflammation, detoxicating and preventing diseases, helping digestion and relieving boredom, losing weight and keeping fit, but also has special functions such as preventing cancer, reducing blood fat and resisting aging. 1. Anti-cancer1998 June 15 Health News (Reporter Zheng Yuanxiang) Not long ago, Han Chi, an associate researcher in the Toxicology Laboratory of the Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, and her assistant Xu Yong conducted an anti-cancer test of tea on animals. They fed mice five kinds of tea, such as Anxi Tieguanyin, and at the same time, they were fed methyl carbazide glue, a synthetic carcinogen with purity greater than 99.8%. After three months, the incidence of esophageal cancer in rats was 42-67%, and the average number of tumors in rats with cancer was 2.2-3. The incidence of esophageal cancer in rats who did not drink tea was 90%, and the average number of tumors in mice with cancer was 5.2. Five kinds of tea have the best anticancer effect in Anxi Tieguanyin. At the same time, they also conducted another experiment, that is, using sodium nitrite and methyl carrageenan as carcinogenic precursors. The results showed that none of the rats in the tea drinking group developed esophageal cancer, and the incidence rate was 100%. This result proves that tea can completely block the endogenous formation of nitrite nitrogen in the body. Male professors from Gaoshan Tea Network II, Hypolipidemic 198 1 Japanese Heyang Women's University conducted an experiment on the effect of oolong tea on animal fat metabolism, which proved that oolong tea can significantly inhibit the increase of cholesterol and neutral fat in blood. From 65438 to 0983, Fujian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine observed a group of patients with hypercholesterolemia. When they stopped using all kinds of lipid-lowering drugs, they drank oolong tea twice every morning and evening. After 24 weeks in a row, the blood cholesterol content of patients decreased to varying degrees. Further animal experiments show that oolong tea can prevent and alleviate atherosclerosis of aortic blood lipids. Drinking oolong tea can also reduce blood viscosity, prevent erythrocyte aggregation, improve blood hypercoagulability, increase blood fluidity and improve microcirculation. This is very important for preventing vascular diseases, intravascular thrombosis and traditional Chinese medicine? Quot Blood stasis has positive significance. In addition, in vitro thrombosis test also shows that oolong tea has the effect of inhibiting thrombosis. 3. Anti-aging 1983. The anti-aging experiment conducted by Fujian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine showed that the lipid peroxidation in the liver of two groups of animals fed with oolong tea and vitamin E respectively decreased significantly, indicating that oolong tea has the same anti-aging effect as vitamin E. Human experiments also showed that drinking oolong tea can keep the content of vitamin C in blood at a high level and reduce the excretion of vitamin C in urine. The anti-aging effect of vitamin C has long been proved by research. Therefore, drinking oolong tea can enhance the anti-aging ability of human body in many ways. 1985 10 professor Wang Zenong wrote a poem during his inspection in Anxi tea town, which highly summarized the health care efficacy of Anxi oolong tea: Anxi is like the fragrance of Tieguanyin, and six roots prolong life. Huang Jingui, a newly selected famous tea, is a panacea to protect Dan's heart. After serving for thousands of years, it is beautiful, cures all diseases, and is light and light. As we all know, drinking tea has many benefits. But why does drinking tea have many benefits? For the average person, this is knowing it but not knowing why. With the development of science, it was not until the beginning of19th century that the composition of tea industry became clear. After modern scientific separation and identification, oolong tea contains more than 450 organic chemical components and more than 40 inorganic mineral elements. Organic chemical components and inorganic mineral elements in tea contain many nutrients and medicinal components. Organic chemical components mainly include tea polyphenols, plant alkaloids, protein, amino acids, vitamins, pectin, organic acids, lipopolysaccharides, sugars, enzymes and pigments. Tieguanyin contains organic chemical components such as tea polyphenols, catechins and various amino acids, which are significantly higher than other teas. Inorganic mineral elements mainly include: potassium, calcium, magnesium, cobalt, iron, manganese, aluminum, sodium, zinc, copper, nitrogen, phosphorus, fluorine, iodine and selenium. Tieguanyin contains more inorganic mineral elements such as manganese, iron, fluorine, potassium and sodium than other teas.
