Compared with those who drank less than 1 cup of tea a day, the average risk of death from cerebrovascular disease fell by 22% for men and by 31% for women who drank more than 5 cups of green tea a day. Among them, cerebral infarction dropped most significantly, with a 42% drop in men and a 62% drop in women. According to the British &#8220;Daily Mail&#8221; report, a latest study found that drinking 3 cups of tea a day can reduce the risk of myocardial infarction by 70%. Research reports from Finland and France also show that drinking 2 to 3 cups of tea a day can reduce the risk of stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea has the effect of lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers from the University of Hong Kong found that drinking tea can reduce total blood cholesterol levels by 25%. Another survey that studied the relationship between tea drinking and the incidence of hypertension found that the incidence of hypertension among people who did not drink tea was 10.55%, and that among those who often drank tea was 6.95%. Tea does have a certain antihypertensive effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea helps reduce the risk of diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers conducted long-term follow-up observations on 17,000 men and women aged 40 to 65 and found that those who drank more than 6 cups of green tea a day had a 33% lower risk of developing diabetes than those who drank less than 1 cup a week. There is also information that drinking green tea with cold boiled water is more effective in preventing and treating diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea helps prevent and treat Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea has a protective effect on brain cells. Tea can effectively delay brain degeneration and help maintain the health of cerebral blood vessels. The latest research shows that drinking more tea can improve memory and prevent Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:1024\/h:616\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LBTEAS-JASMINE-TEAS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-233 lazyload\"><noscript><img data-opt-id=658118090  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:1024\/h:616\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LBTEAS-JASMINE-TEAS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:1024\/h:616\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LBTEAS-JASMINE-TEAS.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:300\/h:180\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LBTEAS-JASMINE-TEAS.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:768\/h:462\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LBTEAS-JASMINE-TEAS.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:600\/h:361\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LBTEAS-JASMINE-TEAS.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:1033\/h:621\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LBTEAS-JASMINE-TEAS.jpg 1033w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:1033\/h:621\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LBTEAS-JASMINE-TEAS.jpg 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea has anti-stress and anti-anxiety effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern life and work are fast-paced and stressful, which often cause mental and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, tension, irritability, and depression. Green tea contains theanine, which is a non-sedative relaxant that can help the brain increase the production of gamma waves. Gamma waves can help control anxiety, increase concentration, and improve mental state and overall function. Generally, 3-4 cups of green tea can contain 100-200 mg of theanine, which makes green tea better effective in anti-stress and anti-anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea can improve immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s been a recent flu outbreak, drink more tea. Researchers at Harvard University have pointed out that people who drink five cups of tea a day for two weeks will produce a large amount of anti-viral interferon in their bodies, and the content is 10 times that of people who do not drink tea. This infection-fighting protein boosts immunity and helps the body fight off the flu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea can increase the bactericidal power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a report in May 2008 that Egyptian scholars used &#8220;green tea plus antibiotics&#8221; to test 28 kinds of bacteria. The results showed that green tea can greatly increase the potency of antibiotics, increase the maximum bactericidal efficiency by more than three times, and reduce the drug resistance of various pathogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea has a slimming effect on obese people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers found that compared with those who did not drink tea for more than 10 years, men&#8217;s body fat proportions were reduced by about 20%, and women&#8217;s body fat proportions could be reduced by 30%. Isn\u2019t it a good thing to lose weight while drinking tea? Not only that, tea is also a beautifying agent that has a very good protective effect on the skin. Drinking more tea will make you beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chun-mee-green-tea-41022AAAA-from-LBTEAS.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234 lazyload\"><noscript><img data-opt-id=1076822797  decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chun-mee-green-tea-41022AAAA-from-LBTEAS.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:678\/h:521\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chun-mee-green-tea-41022AAAA-from-LBTEAS.png 678w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:300\/h:231\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chun-mee-green-tea-41022AAAA-from-LBTEAS.png 300w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:600\/h:461\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chun-mee-green-tea-41022AAAA-from-LBTEAS.png 600w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:678\/h:521\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chun-mee-green-tea-41022AAAA-from-LBTEAS.png 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other health benefits of tea<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea can also eliminate fatigue, refresh yourself, improve eyesight, digestion, diuresis, and detoxification, prevent dental caries, and eliminate bad breath. Tea is also an alkaline drink, which is helpful for correcting acidic constitution&#8230; Tea is worthy of being the healthiest drink in the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an indisputable fact that tea makes an important contribution to human health. Before the 19th century, no one could clearly tell us why tea has so many functions. Since the 1960s and 1970s, the ancient and magical field of tea has ushered in the exploration of natural sciences. Many scientific technologies have been used to study and analyze the substances contained in tea, thus opening this magical door for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea leaves contain 75% water, which is the scientific basis for &#8220;4 pounds of leaves to 1 pound of tea&#8221;. The water-soluble substances in tea are 30%-48%. Its main chemical components include tea polyphenols, alkaloids, amino acids, sugars, organic acids, etc., which constitute the quality and taste of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:857\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/organic-black-tea-from-LBTEAS.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-235 lazyload\"><noscript><img data-opt-id=1694817430  decoding=\"async\" width=\"857\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:857\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/organic-black-tea-from-LBTEAS.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:857\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/organic-black-tea-from-LBTEAS.jpeg 857w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:251\/h:300\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/organic-black-tea-from-LBTEAS.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:768\/h:918\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/organic-black-tea-from-LBTEAS.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:600\/h:717\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/organic-black-tea-from-LBTEAS.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:903\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/organic-black-tea-from-LBTEAS.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/mlgneznb6aw9.i.optimole.com\/cb:i3_Z.3c0c1\/w:903\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/ig:avif\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/lbteas.com\/allaboutteas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/organic-black-tea-from-LBTEAS.jpeg 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyphenols<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyphenols widely exist in nature, and are well-known tea polyphenols, apple polyphenols, grape polyphenols, etc. Because of their good antioxidant functions, they are widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea polyphenols are one of the main components that contribute to the color and aroma of tea, and are also one of the main components in tea that have health-care functions. It has high content, wide distribution, and great changes, and has the most significant impact on the quality of tea. Tea polyphenols include catechins, anthocyanins, flavonoids, flavanols and phenolic acids, among which catechins have the highest content and are the most important. Studies have shown that half an hour after drinking a cup of tea, the antioxidant capacity (ability to resist oxygen free radicals) in the blood increases by 41%-48%, and can remain at a high level for one and a half hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyphenols account for about 1\/3 of the total dry matter of fresh leaves and 3\/4 of the total tea extract. They are extremely active in nature and are prone to a series of chemical reactions under external conditions to generate some new chemical substances. Affects the quality of various types of tea, so the oxidation degree of tea polyphenols is one of the important bases for classifying various teas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyphenols are the main part of water-soluble pigments in tea, the main component of the color of tea soup, and participate in the composition of dry tea color. At the same time, the main components that cause astringency in tea are polyphenols and their oxidation products, aldehydes, iron, and other substances. Among them, catechins play a particularly important role in the presentation of astringency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alkaloids<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alkaloids have been considered as substances that can treat diseases since ancient Greece and are one of the oldest medicines. Tea mainly contains three alkaloids: caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline, all of which have the effect of stimulating the central nervous system. Among them, caffeine has the highest content, generally 2%-4% of dry weight, and is one of the characteristic chemicals of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The caffeine in tea plays an important role in the formation of the taste of tea. If there is too much caffeine in the tea soup, the tea soup will have a bitter taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea amino acids<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amino acids in tea mainly include more than 20 kinds of theanine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid. Among them, theanine is an important component in forming the aroma and freshness of tea, accounting for more than 50% of the free amino acids in tea. Its water-soluble substances mainly present umami and sweet taste, which can suppress the bitterness of tea soup. Japan has already used theanine as a food additive in 1964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to being extracted from tea leaves, theanine can also be produced through biosynthesis, chemical synthesis, and other pathways. Because theanine has the effects of lowering blood pressure, calming the nerves, improving sleep, and promoting brain function, it has been used as a health food and pharmaceutical raw material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fragrance substances in tea leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aroma of tea is a comprehensive reflection of a variety of aromatic substances. The formation and intensity of aroma are affected not only by different tea tree varieties, picking seasons, old and tender leaves, but also by different tea-making processes and technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to analysis, there are usually more than 700 aroma compounds in tea. Some of them are common to black tea, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lbteas.com\/products\/lbteas-organic-green-teas\/\" title=\"\">green tea<\/a>, and fresh leaves, and some are unique to each. It is worth noting that at present, only the relationship between aroma components, composition changes and tea quality can be studied qualitatively. It is not yet possible to determine what kind of aromatic substance composition and content can represent what type of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea pigments mainly include chlorophyll, \u03b2-carotene, etc., which have anti-aging and beauty effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tea polysaccharide is a kind of complex mixture. Tea polysaccharide has the effects of anti-radiation, increasing the number of white blood cells, improving immunity, and can also lower blood sugar. The practice of drinking crude tea to treat diabetes is spread among the people, mainly due to the role of tea polysaccharides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chemical components in tea not only determine the quality of tea, but are also closely related to certain pharmacological effects of drinking tea. However, the formation of tea quality and health benefits are not based on the effect of a single ingredient, but the coordinated effects of multiple ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about LBTEAS, please reach us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:sales@sinoyqx.com\">sales@lbteas.com <\/a>or voice to us: +86-28-8754-3505.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some pictures and texts are reproduced from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
