(A) Tieguanyin's anti-aging effect
Some scientific studies in China and abroad have shown that human aging is related to the over-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the body, and the over-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids is related to the role of free radicals. Chemically active free radicals can make unsaturated fatty acids over-oxidation, so that the cell function mutation or decline, causing tissue proliferation and necrosis and produce the disease that puts people to death. Lipid over-oxidation is the devil of human health, but the culprit is free radicals, as long as the free radicals removed, you can make the cells to obtain normal growth and development and health and longevity.
Currently, the commonly used antioxidants are vitamin C and vitamin E, which are both effective in preventing the over-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. However, recent Japanese research has shown that polyphenolic compounds in Tieguanyin can prevent over-oxidation; purine alkaloids, which can indirectly play a role in scavenging free radicals, thus achieving the purpose of slowing down the aging process.
(2) Tieguanyin anti-cancer
Cancer is a serious threat to people's health today, "incurable". Therefore, in recent years, the study of anti-cancer tea has aroused great interest and concern. Over the years, there has been a report that the Shanghai public for drinking tea to reduce the esophagus year by year, therefore, drinking tea can prevent the occurrence of cancer this fact in the world caused a great reaction. Now drinking tea can prevent cancer has been recognized by the world, and in the tea anti-cancer effect is the best Tieguanyin.
As early as 1983, Professor Takuo Okuda of Okayama University, Japan, had screened dozens of plant polyphenolic compounds for anticancer effects, and the results proved that: catechins (EGCG) have strong anticancer activity. Other scientists in the confirmation of Tieguanyin anti-mutagenesis research, that Tieguanyin tea polyphenols is the main active ingredient of this effect; chemical substances carcinogenicity research, affirmed the Tieguanyin tea polyphenols to prevent cancerous changes. In addition, vitamin C and vitamin E in Tieguanyin can block the synthesis of carcinogens - nitrosamines, which has a greater effect on the prevention and treatment of cancer.
(3) Tieguanyin anti-atherosclerosis effect
With the development of social material civilization, people's dietary structure is also changing high fat and sugar food consumption is rising year by year, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis patients have also increased significantly. According to the clinical statistics in recent years, one of the causes of atherosclerosis is the oxidation of LDL in the blood. Therefore, many clinicians advocate that by lowering LDL in the blood or inhibiting its oxidation is as an effective method to prevent the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
May 31, 1999, held in Tokyo, Japan, the fourth oolong tea and health symposium, fujian province institute of traditional Chinese medicine, vice president of chen ling reported that they have been 25 hyperlipidemia obese people for clinical observation, to explore the consumption of oolong tea tielong tea on the inhibition of oxidation of low-density lipoproteins in the blood and to improve the pragmatic lipid metabolism of the role. The study proved that tea polyphenols and vitamins in Tieguanyin can inhibit the oxidation of LDL in blood. Dr. Seihiko Hara of Mitsui Institute of Agriculture and Forestry, Japan, also confirmed in years of research that tea polyphenols can not only reduce blood cholesterol, but also significantly improve the ratio of high-density lipoproteins to bottom-density lipoproteins in the blood. Caffeine can diastole blood vessels, accelerate respiration, reduce blood lipids, on the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases have a certain role.
According to the Fujian Medical University Coronary Heart Disease Prevention and Control Research Group in 1974 in Fujian Anxi Tea Township of 1080 farmers survey found that the proportion of drinking Tieguanyin and the incidence of coronary heart disease: the incidence of not drinking tea for 3.1%; occasionally drink tea for 2.3%; year-round tea drinkers (more than 3 years) for 1.4%. This shows that the incidence of coronary heart disease is lower in regular drinkers than in non-drinkers of Tieguanyin.
(4) Tieguanyin's role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes
Diabetes is a worldwide disease. At present, there are about 200 million people in the world suffering from diabetes, and more than 30 million people in China are suffering from diabetes. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic progressive disease of the whole body characterized by disorders of glucose metabolism. Typical clinical manifestations are "three more and one less", i.e., drinking more, urinating more, eating more and losing weight, and weakness of the whole body. This disease is called "consuming thirst syndrome" in Chinese medicine, which belongs to the category of dampness and heat in the lower scorched area. The main reason for the disease is the lack of polyphenols vitamin B1, pantothenic acid, phosphoric acid, methyl salicylate and other components, so that the sugar metabolism is impaired, the body's blood glucose increased dramatically, the metabolism of the role of the weakened.
Japanese medical doctor Ogawa Gojirou and others clinical experiments confirmed that regular tea can be timely supplementation of the body's vitamin B1, pantothenic acid, phosphoric acid, methyl salicylate and polyphenols content, can prevent the occurrence of diabetes. For moderate and mild diabetes patients can make blood glucose, urinary glucose reduced to very little, or completely normal; for severe diabetes patients, can make blood glucose, urinary glucose reduction of various major symptoms to reduce.
2 Anxi Tieguanyin effect ?
(E) Tieguanyin's weight loss and bodybuilding
Obesity is a kind of nutritional disorder that accompanies the continuous improvement of people's living standards, which is caused by excessive nutritional intake or insufficient utilization of energy stored in the body. Obesity not only brings a lot of inconvenience to people's daily life, but also is a cause of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
In recent years, in developed countries, people are very concerned about how to lose weight, have introduced a variety of weight loss exercise, diet and drug therapy, which also introduced many weight loss tea. In clinical application, most people believe that both the role of weight loss or weight loss method is more ideal or drinking Tieguanyin. Japan Cihui Medical University Nakamura Jishio research laboratory on oolong tea clinical trials, the experiments proved that regular consumption of oolong tea can reduce blood cholesterol and neutral fat, have to lower blood pressure, prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease and weight loss and bodybuilding effects.
Tang Dynasty Chen Zangqi "herb gleanings" said: "Tea long food is thin, go to the human fat". China's successive medical books on long-term tea can remove greasy, lipid, weight loss, etc. are recorded, indicating that our country has long been found that tea has a weight loss effect. In recent years, drinking tea can lose weight clinical research results continue to emerge. 1996, fujian province institute of traditional Chinese medicine on 102 with simple obesity of adult men and women, drinking iron guanyin weight loss role of research. Research shows that Tieguanyin contains a large number of tea polyphenol substances, not only can improve the role of lipolytic enzymes, but also promote the metabolic activity of the neutral lipase tissue. Thus, drinking Tieguanyin can improve the body shape of obese people, effectively reduce the subcutaneous fat and waist circumference of obese people, reduce their weight.
Quanzhou City People's Hospital in Fujian Province, the use of Iron Goddess of Mercy weight-loss tea on the 164 people suffering from obesity treatment, 12-14 grams of weight-loss tea every day, 15 days for a course of treatment. After two courses of observation, the patient's blood lipids, triglycerides and cholesterol have been significantly reduced, and the weight is also reduced, the total effective rate of treatment is more than 70%.
(F) Iron Goddess of Mercy's role in preventing dental caries
People generally believe that there are two major diseases that jeopardize people's teeth, one is dental caries, and the other is periodontitis. Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a common dental disease. Dental caries occurs for many reasons, one of the important reasons is: poor calcification of the teeth, the texture is not hard enough, easy to be damaged. Drinking tea can protect teeth, in China's ancient times has long been applied. Song dynasty Su Dongpo in the "tea said" cloud: "strong tea gargling, both to go to the annoyance of greasy, and can be firm teeth, eliminating moth-eaten." Modern scientific analysis, Iron Goddess of Mercy is rich in fluoride, while the general food contains very little fluoride. Fluoride in Tieguanyin about 40% ~ 80% dissolved in water, very easy to combine with the calcium in the teeth, forming a layer of calcium fluoride on the surface of the teeth, to play the role of anti-acid and anti-caries.
Japan has two neighboring villages in the caries rate of children enrolled in the survey, the results show that drinking Tieguanyin on the prevention and treatment of dental caries has a good effect. Each schoolchildren drink a cup of Iron Goddess of Mercy every day, according to the fluoride content of 0.4 milligrams of calculation, continued for a year, the original caries in half of the children will be cured. Japan statistics of 100 elementary school with dental caries in school students, by changing the drinking Tieguanyin, which has 55% of the students suffering from dental caries significantly reduced the condition. It can be seen that drinking Tieguanyin has a preventive effect on people who do not have dental caries, and has a therapeutic effect on people who have dental caries.
(7) Tieguanyin sterilization dysentery
In Anxi folk early use of Tieguanyin treatment of dysentery and neck pain. China's ancient medical books also have a lot of use of tea to treat bacterial dysentery, dysentery, white diarrhea, acute enteritis, acute gastritis records. Why can Tieguanyin play a bactericidal dysentery effect? Mainly tea polyphenol compounds. Because of the tea polyphenol into the gastrointestinal tract, can make the intestinal tract of the tense function of relaxation, ease of intestinal movement; at the same time, but also can make intestinal protein coagulation, because the bacteria itself is made up of proteins, tea polyphenol and bacterial proteins meet, bacteria, that is, the line of death, play a role in the protection of the gastric mucosa, so there is a treatment for the efficacy of gastroenteritis.
According to the British Pharmacopoeia: tea into the stomach, the tea polyphenol can be combined with alkali, protein into tannins, protein or other coagulated proteins are digested, the tea polyphenol is free, and then combined with other substances into the small intestine (small intestine alkaline), the tea polyphenol so that the protein coagulation and reduce the secretion of the tea, so the tea can be a treatment for dysentery. 1961, Japan's epidemiological dysentery, has been widely used in tea as a dispel the disease. The tea can be used as a treatment for dysentery.
(H) Iron Goddess of Mercy's role in clearing heat and reducing fire
Tea is a good drink to prevent summer heat. Li Shizhen, "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Tea bitter flavor cold, ...... the most capable of lowering the fire, the fire for all diseases, the fire is down on the clear carry on. ...... warm drink is the fire because of the cold gas and down, hot drink is to borrow the fire gas and ascending dispersion." In the summer three days, the cool sun in the sky, the heat of the time, drink a cup of cool Tieguanyin or a cup of hot Tieguanyin, will feel the physical and mental coolness, the body and mind to relieve the summer heat. This is because the tea contains tea polyphenols, sugars, amino acids, pectin, vitamins and saliva in the mouth with a chemical reaction, moisturize the mouth, so it can play the role of thirst. At the same time, due to the role of caffeine in Tieguanyin, prompting a large amount of energy dispersed from the body's skin pores. According to reports, a cup of hot tea, through the body's skin pores sweating heat, equivalent to 50 times the cup of tea, so it can make people feel cool and relieve the summer heat.
(IX) Tieguanyin's refreshing effect
Drinking tea can refresh your mind is known to almost everyone. China's medical books throughout the ages, many records, writers and artists, monks and all waved the brush, the tea of the refreshment and benefit of the work. Bai Juyi "East neighbor Wang XIII" poem said: "hand in hand with the moon by the pool, open the lapel under the bamboo wind. Driven by sorrow to know the power of wine, broken sleep to see the power of tea." The poem clearly mentioned the tea refreshing and sleep-breaking effect. Su Dongpo's poem said: "build tea thirty pieces, do not review the flavor how to give the package Jushi, monk room war sleep demon." He said to give the Jian tea to Bao Jushi, let him drink in the Zen meditation can avoid dozing. Drinking tea can benefit the mind, by people's favorite, especially for some writers, poets and other mental workers by the deep. Such as France's great writer Balzac, Chinese-American writer Han Suyin and China's famous writer Yao Xueyin, etc. are fond of drinking tea, to help the literature.
Tieguanyin can be refreshing and beneficial to the mind, its function mainly lies in the caffeine in the tea. Caffeine has the function of excitation of the central nervous system, enhance thinking, improve efficiency. Therefore, after drinking tea can break sleep, refreshing, to annoy, relieve fatigue, clear mind, enhance thinking, can significantly improve the oral defense ability and mathematical thinking response. At the same time, due to the presence of polyphenols and other compounds in Tieguanyin, offsetting the adverse effects of pure caffeine on the human body. This is one of the key reasons why the history of tea drinking is so longstanding, enduring and evolving. Ming Dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming's "just as sound drunkenness, wake up but must be tea" of the famous sentence, indicating that our people have long recognized the efficacy of drinking tea to relieve alcohol. Ancient people used to "drown their sorrows in wine" and "sober up with tea". Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi, one day drunk, remembered Bai Juyi have "six class tea" can be alcohol, they sent for tea to wake up, was passed on as a tea story.
The composition of wine is mainly alcohol, a cup of wine contains 10% to 70% alcohol. Wine can help to cheer up, but can paralyze the nerves, bring the feeling of drunkenness and trance. If excessive drinking of strong alcohol, vomiting will occur, and even the phenomenon of alcohol poisoning. And Iron Goddess of Mercy does have the effect of alcohol, this is because the tea polyphenols and ethanol (alcohol in the main components) offset each other, so drinking tea can be alcohol.
Tieguanyin can not only wake up, but also enemy smoke. Because Tieguanyin contains a phenolic acid substances, can make the nicotine in tobacco precipitation, out of the body. At the same time, caffeine in Tieguanyin can improve the liver's ability to metabolize drugs, promote blood circulation, and excrete nicotine in the human bloodstream from the urine, reducing and eliminating the side effects brought about by nicotine. Of course, this effect is not only the single effect of caffeine, but with tea polyphenols, vitamin C and other components of the result of synergistic cooperation.
