Tea brewed from ordinary tea leaves can actually have great effects and functions. In addition, there are many taboos in oolong tea. What other aspects should be paid attention to when drinking oolong tea? Let's take a look with me.

The efficacy and function of oolong tea to improve hearing

Oolong tea has the functions of caring skin, expelling toxin, facilitating defecation, resisting chemical activity and eliminating active oxygen molecules in cells. Middle-aged and elderly people often drink oolong tea to help keep their hearing.

The protective effect on male hearing is obviously greater than that on female hearing. Although drinking oolong tea is good for hearing, you should not drink too much. It is advisable to drink 1~2 cups of tea a day.

Weight loss effect

Oolong tea has the effect of dissolving fat to lose weight. Because tannic acid, the main component of tea, is closely related to fat metabolism. Oolong tea can reduce the cholesterol content in the blood.

Compared with black tea and green tea, oolong tea can not only * * the activity of lipolytic enzymes in the pancreas and reduce the absorption of sugar and fatty foods, but also accelerate the increase of body heat production, promote fat burning and reduce the accumulation of abdominal fat.

Lowering blood lipid

Oolong tea can prevent and alleviate the atherosclerosis of blood lipids in main arteries. Drinking oolong tea can also reduce blood viscosity, prevent erythrocyte aggregation, improve blood hypercoagulability, increase blood fluidity and improve microcirculation. Thrombosis test in vitro also shows that oolong tea has the effect of inhibiting thrombosis.

anti-ageing

Oolong tea has the same anti-aging effect as vitamin e. Under the condition of taking enough vitamin C orally every day, drinking oolong tea can keep the content of vitamin C in blood at a high level, reduce the excretion of vitamin C in urine, and vitamin C has anti-aging effect. Therefore, drinking oolong tea can enhance the anti-aging ability of human body in many ways.

Taboos of oolong tea *** 1*** Do not drink on an empty stomach. The harm of drinking tea on an empty stomach is obvious. Drinking tea on an empty stomach can easily dilute gastric juice, reduce digestive function, and the absorption rate of gastrointestinal tract is high, resulting in a large number of bad ingredients in tea entering the blood, which will cause dizziness, palpitation, weakness of hands and feet and other symptoms.

***2*** Avoid drinking tea before going to bed. Oolong tea is also rich in tea polyphenols and other elements. If we drink it before going to bed, it will easily lead to enough excitement, and it will be difficult to get sleep and rest during normal work and rest hours!

***3*** Avoid drinking Leng Cha. Oolong tea is cold after cold, which is not good for the stomach and may also cause a cold; Tannic acid in oolong tea can combine with iron to form an insoluble final compound, and Leng Cha enters the body, so that the body can not get enough iron source, which aggravates the deterioration of patients with anemia!

***4*** Avoid drinking tea during special physiological periods. Tea has the function of decomposing fat. People who are malnourished will be more malnourished if they drink tea to decompose fat. Tea contains a lot of tea polyphenols, caffeine and so on, which has many unfavorable factors for the growth of the fetus in the mother's womb, in order to make the fetus's intelligence develop normally! Drinking strong tea during lactation, too much caffeine will enter the milk, and children will be indirectly excited after breast-feeding, which will easily lead to less sleep and more crying.

Oolong tea brewing method Oolong tea brewing method

Tea water

Tea-making water requires that the water source is free from pathogen pollution and industrial pollution, and the sensory properties of the water are good, that is, colorless, odorless, transparent, odorless, free of suspended substances, and the tongue tastes cool and sweet. The PH value of the water is neutral at 7, and the permanent hardness after boiling does not exceed 8 degrees. Such water is suitable for making tea.

Tea-making appliance

Famous tea and tea set are always in perfect harmony. In history, the tea set for drinking oolong tea is very elegant, with a small and exquisite tea set called "Four Treasures of Tea House", that is, Chaoshan furnace-ceramic magnetic wind furnace or tin wind furnace produced in Chaozhou and Shantou, Guangdong Province; Yushuqian-a flat and thin magnetic kettle with a water capacity of about 250 ml; Mengchen jar-a small teapot made of purple sand produced in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, with a water capacity of about 50 ml; Ruochenou-a set of four small white porcelain cups made in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, each with a water capacity of about 5 ml. Nowadays, the tea set for soaking oolong tea is still inseparable from the "four treasures of the tea house", but it has changed and become more practical and convenient. The commonly used "Four Treasures of Teahouse" include a small electric stove, a steel kettle, and a matching electric stove and kettle called "instant soaking", a steel tea tray or a plastic tea tray, and a bell-shaped white porcelain bowl with a height of 5.5 cm, a diameter of 8.2 cm and a bottom diameter of 4.5 cm. This kind of bowl is very convenient for putting tea leaves, smelling the aroma, boiling water and pouring tea dregs, and only in this way can we have the conditions for soaking oolong tea.

Another way to evenly distribute tea is to pour several cups of tea in turn in the teapot, and when it is about to be finished, put the remaining tea soup into each cup, commonly known as "Han Xin ordered soldiers".
