Instructions
Step 1
Do not drink tea on an empty stomach, as it is very harmful. Its "cold nature" enters the body, damaging the stomach and spleen.
Step 2
Do not drink too hot tea, the temperature of which is above 60 degrees. Frequent use of such a drink will negatively affect the gastrointestinal tract, causing its pathological changes.
Step 3
Avoid iced tea, which is especially popular with young people. It is known for its side effects, including phlegm buildup.
Step 4
Drink a tea that does not contain too much caffeine. Otherwise, you can get sleepless nights and severe headaches.
Step 5
If you suffer from hypertension, insomnia, or heart disease, replace black tea with green tea. But with low blood pressure and vasospasm, it is black tea that is an effective alternative to drugs.
Step 6
Add the leaves and roots of various medicinal plants to your tea for a varied palette of flavors and aromas. Plus, these double-strength drinks will boost your health. For example, for headaches and irritability, you can add lemon balm or mint leaves, for depression and bad mood - St. John's wort, for liver problems - tansy flowers or rose hips, etc.
Step 7
Follow the doctor's recommended tea intake for a healthy person - no more than five to six cups of green and two to three cups of black tea.
Step 8
Consider some restrictions on tea intake: strong brewed, it is contraindicated for children under ten years old, people with high blood pressure and pregnant women. If you are prone to heart rhythm disturbances (tachycardia, arrhythmias, etc.), then you can only drink green tea.
Step 9
Prefer unpackaged teas without flavors. Such products, as a rule, do not contain harmful impurities and are safe for health. Large leaf tea is valued higher than its over-ground counterpart.
Step 10
Don't be afraid to add sugar to green tea. Recent studies have shown that sucrose favors the absorption of many of the nutrients in the drink, and does not interfere with them, as was previously thought. In addition, experts advise to add lemon or other fruits containing a lot of vitamin C to tea, as it also promotes better absorption of tea polyphenols - substances that prevent cancer, strokes and a number of other diseases.
