Recently, with the increasing attention to healthy living in society, the topic of beverage choice and physical health has once again become a hot topic. Some people pay attention to the role of tea in daily life, especially strong tea, which is believed to have the effect of refreshing the mind and relieving hangover and protecting the liver, mainly due to the rich tea polyphenols in tea.
However, scientific evidence suggests that this view is misplaced. In fact, strong tea is not only not effective in relieving hangover, but may even have the opposite effect on the body. Theophylline is an active substance in tea, which has a significant diuretic effect, and drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol may promote the incompletely oxidized alcohol to enter the kidneys prematurely, aggravating the metabolic burden of the kidneys. The combination of alcohol and high concentrations of theophylline can lead to potential damage to kidney function.
The current hot news also constantly reminds us that the choice of drinks should be based on scientific evidence and rationally look at traditional concepts. Drinking weak tea in moderation is good for health, but after drinking, it is especially not appropriate to use tea as a substitute for reasonable hangover measures, such as hydration, adequate rest, and intake of foods that help accelerate alcohol metabolism, so as to truly protect the liver and kidneys and maintain our health.
How to sober up after being drunk:
1. You can drink a glass of warm milk, eat a banana, and drink some honey water, which can effectively reduce the symptoms of headache after drinking. 2. Acidic drinks, you can drink grapefruit juice, yogurt, and orange juice, which can help alcohol metabolism and reduce alcohol absorption. 3. Drinking a large amount of boiled water or sugar water can promote metabolism.
