Will China people unlock the tea drinking gene when they reach a certain age? When did you begin to like drinking tea?

I think when China people reach a certain age, especially after retirement, they will basically unlock the tea drinking gene when they are 60 or 70 years old. After all, it's very pleasant to have a small cup of tea, watch TV plays or play cards when you are free!

I can't remember when I had tea. There is always tea at home anyway. I basically drink some tea during work or rest. In my opinion, drinking tea is good for people;

1, anti-cancer or anti-cancer

Cancer has become one of the biggest threats to human health. Tea contains catechins, especially catechins in green tea, accounting for 15%-20% of tea. Flavonoids such as catechins have certain anticancer effects. Tea also contains a certain amount of vitamin c and vitamin e, which also has an auxiliary anti-cancer effect;

2. Tea helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

One of the main causes of hypertension and coronary heart disease is the increase of blood lipid and cholesterol, which leads to atherosclerosis. Drinking tea can effectively reduce blood lipid and cholesterol levels, because tea polyphenols can inhibit the proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells, and have obvious anticoagulant effect, promote fibrinolysis, prevent the formation of blood spots, and reduce capillary fragility and blood viscosity;

Tea can quench thirst and relieve summer heat.

Drinking a cup of green tea in hot summer can make you feel full of saliva and cool all over, which is a good summer remedy. Because polyphenols in tea, as well as sugars, pectin, amino acids and other components react with saliva, the mouth is moist and produces some coolness.

In addition, caffeine in tea can also regulate the body temperature center inside the human body, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating body temperature.

Tea is good, but you should also pay attention to related taboos to avoid harm to your body:

1, avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach.

Drinking tea on an empty stomach will dilute gastric acid, inhibit the secretion of gastric juice, hinder digestion, and even cause palpitation, headache, stomach discomfort, dizziness, upset and other "drunken tea" phenomena, and affect the absorption of protein, but also cause gastric mucosal inflammation. If "tea drunkenness" occurs, it can be alleviated by taking candy or drinking some sugar water.

2. Avoid drinking tea before going to bed

It is best not to drink tea within 2 hours before going to bed. Drinking tea will make you feel high, affect your sleep and even insomnia, especially the newly picked green tea. After drinking, the nerves are extremely excited and cause insomnia.

3, avoid drinking overnight tea

You'd better drink tea at once. Tea leaves have been stored for a long time, which not only leads to the loss of nutrients such as vitamins, but also tends to be rancid and sick.
