Medicinal properties of tea

Tea and heart

Zhushang University has studied the effect of tea on the circulatory system and found that tea (in this case PU-erh) causes relaxation of veins, temporarily lowers blood pressure, lowers heart rate, and regulates brain circulation. Regular use of high-quality tea helps to strengthen blood vessels, stop inflammatory processes, and prevent blood clotting. Tea is especially useful for elderly people suffering from high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis.

Tea and tumors

In Japan, there are long-term studies of the influence of tea on the formation and development of tumors. Dozens of independent studies have shown that when tea is added to the water of experimental animals, they stop the growth of tumors. Scientists explained this effect by the fact that " polyphenols contained in tea have a high antimutagenic effect and slow down the development of cancer metastases, blocking pathogenic components in the circulatory system." Tea also reduces lung tumors caused by tobacco carcinogens and helps to cure the initial stage of skin cancer.

Tea and stress

British researchers have found that regular consumption of black tea helps to tolerate stress with the least harm to the body. Tea helps reduce the stress hormone cortisol and helps you relax faster and more completely after excitement. In case of depression, tea, on the contrary, invigorates and arouses interest in life. Given that tea also reduces the level of platelets and cholesterol in the blood, we can say that this drink literally saves people from heart attacks and strokes on a nervous basis.

Green tea and caries

The high content of polyphenols and fluorides makes tea an effective tool for strengthening teeth. Polyphenols reduce plaque formation by binding bacteria before they settle on the teeth, and fluoride is needed to strengthen tooth enamel. American and Chinese scientists independently found that a few cups of tea a day reduces the likelihood of caries formation. Tea lovers in General are much less likely to complain about problems with their teeth.
