Tea has been a part of our culture since ancient times, and its benefits for cardiovascular health are also talked about. Tea is rich in tea polyphenols, catechins and other bioactive substances, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive and other effects, which are beneficial to maintaining cardiovascular health. However, not all teas are suitable for everyone, and this article will introduce you to four teas to drink with caution to help you better protect your cardiovascular health.
First of all, strong tea needs to be drunk with caution. Strong tea is high in caffeine and tea polyphenols, and excessive consumption may cause heart palpitations, insomnia and other discomforts. Especially for people with a sensitive cardiovascular system, such as patients with high blood pressure and heart disease, excessive consumption of strong tea may lead to increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and even serious consequences such as angina. Therefore, it is recommended to drink strong tea in moderation and adjust the amount of alcohol according to the individual's physical fitness.
Secondly, overnight tea should also be drunk with caution. Bacteria and molds are easy to breed in overnight tea, and active substances such as tea polyphenols will oxidize and deteriorate, which will have an adverse effect on human health. Especially for the cardiovascular system, drinking overnight tea may increase oxidative stress in the lining of blood vessels and promote the formation of arteriosclerosis. Therefore, overnight tea should not be consumed again to avoid potential threats to cardiovascular health.
Third, fasting tea should be drunk with caution. Tea polyphenols, caffeine and other components in tea will stimulate gastric acid secretion, and drinking on an empty stomach can easily lead to excessive gastric acid, damage the gastric mucosa, and may lead to gastritis, gastric ulcers and other digestive diseases in the long term. At the same time, drinking tea on an empty stomach will also increase the burden on the heart, which is not good for the cardiovascular system. Therefore, it is advisable to drink tea after meals to reduce irritation to the digestive system.
Finally, milk tea should be drunk with caution. Milk tea contains a lot of creamer and sugar, which can increase the cardiovascular burden and promote the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the trans fatty acids in creamer are more harmful to cardiovascular health, and long-term consumption may lead to diseases such as arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure. Therefore, for cardiovascular health, you should try to choose low-fat and low-sugar drinks.
In short, although it is good to drink tea, the above four types of tea need to be drunk with caution. In daily life, we should drink tea in moderation according to our personal physique and health status to give full play to the benefits of tea on cardiovascular health. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining good lifestyle habits, such as moderate exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, etc., to jointly maintain cardiovascular health. Let's start drinking tea scientifically and move towards a healthier life!
