Longevity Tea ranked 3rd to 5th | Solve constipation, insomnia and prevent diabetes

No. 5 longevity tea: Houttuynia cordata tea

• The quercetin component in Houttuynia cordata tea can promote intestinal peristalsis and help improve constipation.
• Defecation is the main way to excrete 75% of the toxins in the body. If the intestinal toxins accumulate, the intestinal environment will be deteriorated, carcinogens will increase, and even flow to different parts of the body through the blood, resulting in fatal diseases.

No. 4 Longevity Tea: South African National Treasure Tea

• Microfilament blood vessels are channels that transport nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body. There are about 10 billion blood vessels all over the body, with a total length of about 100,000 kilometers, enough to circle the earth for two and a half weeks.
• If the microfilament blood vessels decline, the whole person will look pale, become old, cause symptoms such as high blood pressure, and increase the risk of brain degeneration in the long run.
• South African national treasure tea contains superoxide dismutase (Superoxide Dismutase, SOD), an antioxidant component, which can strengthen the microfilament blood vessel wall, so that nutrients and oxygen can be transported to the whole body through blood vessels, making the body younger both inside and outside.

No. 3 Longevity Tea: Genmaicha

• Xuanmaicha is made from roasted brown rice and green tea. The oryzanol contained in the shell of brown rice can help stimulate insulin secretion, so it can help stabilize blood sugar, and it also has the benefits of green tea, which can help control blood sugar levels.
• Best time to drink: It is best to drink before meals, because oryzanol can effectively suppress appetite, and can lower blood sugar, and has the effect of preventing diabetes.
• Optimum drinking amount: The consequences of drinking too much are unknown, and experts suggest that it is not suitable to drink too much.

Longevity tea No. 1 to No. 2 1 tea can help reduce the risk of stroke by 62%

No. 2 Longevity Tea: Barley Tea

• Barley tea is caffeine-free and has refreshing and diuretic effects. Its aroma can help you relax and fall asleep easily. Even just inhaling the scent of barley tea can make you relax.
• Barley tea has the effect of helping sleep. When the quality of sleep is affected, it is easy to have osteoporosis and increase the risk of dementia, which can indirectly reduce the risk of geriatric diseases.
• The best brewing method: Barley tea is suitable for brewing with warm water, which is beneficial to the operation of parasympathetic nerves and maintains a relaxed state.
• Best time to drink: drink before going to bed to help fall asleep.
• Precautions: Avoid steeping tea bags for a long time, so that the smell will not become bad and bacteria will grow.

No. 1 Longevity Tea: Green Tea

Green tea has the highest content of catechins, which can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine and excrete cholesterol in the form of defecation, thereby reducing cholesterol accumulation, preventing blood vessel blockage, and preventing cardiovascular disease, stroke and other diseases. Although black tea, oolong tea and green tea are all made from tea trees, green tea is not fermented, so the catechins are retained in the tea leaves, while black tea and oolong tea are made from fermented and semi-fermented tea trees respectively.

According to a study conducted by Northeastern University, 45,000 people aged 40 to 79 were investigated to study the relationship between their frequency of drinking green tea and cerebral infarction. It was found that men and women who drank 5 cups of green tea a day had a 42% and 62% lower risk of stroke than those who drank 1 cup a day. According to a survey in Shizuoka Prefecture, 80% of the elderly over the age of 100 have the habit of drinking 5 cups of green tea a day.

• The best way to brew: Use slightly cooled hot water (about 70 to 80 degrees) to make tea, because when brewed at room temperature, catechins can release theanine in it to neutralize the toxins in the tea. Caffeine has a relaxing effect.
• Optimum drinking amount: It is recommended to drink 5 cups of green tea a day, but because it also contains caffeine, it is recommended not to exceed 10 cups.
• The best time to drink: 3 hours after a meal, it takes about 3 hours for fat to accumulate in the small intestine, the ideal time to drink green tea is 3 hours after a meal. Prevents cholesterol absorption.
• Note: People with anemia should avoid drinking green tea when taking iron, because the body can only absorb 10% of the iron in the food, and the tannins contained in the tea will further inhibit the body from absorbing iron.

Finally, in addition to the above five kinds of tea, black tea and oolong tea also have different health effects. Black tea contains theaflavin (Theaflavin), which can resist viruses; Oolong tea contains polyphenols (Polyphenol), which can decompose fat and reduce the production of neutral fat.
