Tea has been a part of our culture since ancient times and is known as "the taste of tea Zen". Tea contains a variety of beneficial components, such as tea polyphenols, amino acids, vitamins, etc., which have a variety of physiological activities such as antioxidant, anti-fatigue, and blood pressure lowering. However, there are many types of tea, and different tea leaves have different properties and effects, and not everyone is suitable for drinking. This article will delve into the matching of ** physique and tea, and remind readers that choosing the wrong tea may hurt the body and kidneys.
First, the interaction between physique and tea.
1.Classification of constitutions.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the human constitution can be divided into eight types: peace, qi deficiency, yang, yin, phlegm-dampness, dampness, dampness, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Each constitution has different physiological characteristics and susceptibility to diseases.
2.Classification of tea.
Tea can be divided into six categories according to the degree of fermentation: green tea, yellow tea, white tea, oolong tea, dark tea, and black tea. Different teas have different properties and effects, such as green tea has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, refreshing and refreshing the mind, and is suitable for people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency; Black tea has the effect of dissipating cold and nourishing the stomach, and is suitable for people with yin deficiency and phlegm dampness.
3.The principle of matching physique with tea.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the matching of physique and tea should follow the principle of "seeking homogeneity and avoiding heterogeneity". That is, people with the same constitution should drink tea with similar properties, and people with different constitutions should avoid drinking tea with opposite properties. For example, people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency should drink warm tea, such as black tea, oolong tea, etc.; People with yin deficiency and phlegm dampness are suitable for drinking cold tea, such as green tea, white tea, etc.
Second, choosing the wrong tea may hurt the body and kidneys.
1.Injuries.
Choosing the wrong tea can lead to physical discomfort such as stomach pain, diarrhea, insomnia, etc. For example, people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency drink cold tea, such as green tea, white tea, etc., which can aggravate the cold of the body, leading to stomach pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. On the contrary, people with yin deficiency and phlegm dampness drink warm tea, such as black tea, oolong tea, etc., which will aggravate the heat of the body, leading to insomnia, upset and other symptoms.
2.Hurt kidneys.
The kidneys are vital organs in the human body responsible for excreting metabolic waste products and regulating water and electrolyte balance. Choosing the wrong tea may cause damage to the kidneys, such as chronic nephritis, kidney stones, etc. For example, long-term consumption of tea leaves with high oxalic acid content, such as black tea, oolong tea, etc., can increase the risk of kidney stones. In addition, the caffeine in tea has a diuretic effect, and excessive consumption may lead to an increased burden on the kidneys, especially for people with kidney disease.
3. How to choose tea correctly.
1.Understand your constitution and identify the type of constitution.
2.Choose the right tea according to your body type. For example, people with yang deficiency and qi deficiency should drink warm tea, and people with yin deficiency and phlegm dampness should drink cold tea.
3.Pay attention to the quality of the tea and choose fresh, dry, and pollution-free tea.
4.Drink tea in moderation and avoid excessive consumption. In general, it is advisable to drink 3-4 cups of tea a day.
5.Pay attention to the storage of tea leaves, avoid moisture, heat, and taste.
In short, although tea is good, it is necessary to choose the right tea according to the individual's physique. Choosing the wrong tea may hurt the body and kidneys, so we should pay attention to the matching of physical fitness and tea, and drink tea scientifically in order to give full play to the health benefits of tea. At the same time, drinking tea should also be done in moderation, as excessive drinking is not beneficial to the body.
