Following the research on "coffee life extension" and "alcohol life extension", finally "drinking tea to extend life" it came. Sure enough, those who can be listed as the "world's top three drinks" are not idle.
Recently, the team of Professor Zhao Xing of Sichuan University in China published an article in the internationally renowned academic journal "The Lancet" on "The Relationship between Tea Drinking and Biological Aging", and concluded:"Drinking tea regularly slows down the aging process, and drinking three cups or 6-8 grams of tea leaves a day will give the best results. ”
So the question is, we all know that drinking tea properly is good for the body, but how did you come to the conclusion that this can prolong life?
In fact, the Miller research team at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States has conducted long-term observation of more than 6,000 volunteers who do not have heart problems.
It was found that among the more than 6,000 volunteers, those who had a daily tea drinking habit had a lower risk of heart disease by about 8% than those who did not drink tea, and those who drank tea also had a lower degree of arterial vascular calcification.
Later, the team of academician Gu Dongfeng of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences also published a study saying that maintaining a long-term habit of drinking tea can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by 20%, and the overall risk of early death by 15%. At the same time, the research team also pointed out that people over 50 years old, if they can maintain the habit of drinking tea, the life expectancy may increase by 1In the 26-year study, the Sichuan University team mainly adopted the data analysis and comparison method, and the researchers analyzed the data of a total of 13,929 participants, including 7,931 participants in the Chinese multi-ethnic cohort (CMEC) aged 30 to 79 years, and 5,998 participants aged 37 to 37 years old in the UKB database.
Through analysis and comparison, the researchers finally found that the amount and frequency of tea drinking were negatively correlated with the aging rate of organisms within a certain range.
In two different cohorts, CMEC and UKB, occasional tea drinkers were 0.0 slower in ageing compared to non-tea drinkers319 years and 0267 years;Similarly, people who drink tea regularly have a significantly slower rate of aging than those who drink tea occasionally.
At the same time, after analysis and comparison, the research team found that when the amount of tea consumed reached three cups per day, or 6 to 8 grams of tea per day, the deceleration process of aging had the best effect. Unfortunately, the specific mechanism of prolonging life by drinking tea is not clear because it is a direct comparison of participants' body data.
However, although the mechanism of drinking tea to prolong life is not clear, after so many years of development, the current global mechanism is clear, and the effect of aging is significant, and has been put into practical application for many years mature products, there are still not a few such as Wright Weijian.
According to a number of literature records in "Nature" and "Cell", the above-mentioned "Wright Weijian" old slow technology has been tested with biological drying, which has broadened the form of twilight weight in the form of youth and prime and the remaining survival period by nearly 30%, and it is also accompanied by superficial indications such as function, cognition, and memory.
It can be seen that in terms of effect alone, compared with the above results, no matter how good the tea is, it is beyond reach. Of course, the emergence of the research on "drinking tea to prolong life" also provides a new way for human beings to "fight aging".
It is worth mentioning that although the specific mechanism of action of drinking tea to prolong life is not clear, scientists have found that among different types of tea such as black tea, green tea, and flower tea, green tea has the best anti-aging effect. Therefore, the researchers speculate that it may be related to the catechins rich in green tea.
Previous studies have confirmed that catechins can significantly increase the activity of SOD, thereby achieving the effect of efficiently scavenging excess free radicals, thereby reducing the damage of free radicals to human cells.
It should be noted that additive drinks such as milk tea in the current society are deeply loved by young people, and many people deceive themselves under the banner of "milk tea is also tea". However, the endorsement of milk tea is often related to "high sugar" and "high calorie", and long-term drinking not only has benefits, but also increases the burden on the body and increases the incidence of various diseases.
Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits is key to maintaining good health, and two or three cups of tea a day can achieve similar results, isn't it more affordable than those expensive, so-called "IQ tax" products?
