There are countless ways to keep healthy, such as acupressure, practicing Tai Chi, and various other methods. Today, we will introduce the health benefits of drinking tea. Here are the specific methods:
How to Stay Healthy by Drinking Tea
【Herbal Tea】
The effects: Unsuitable for those with virtual heat or body cold. Elderly people often experience dry mouth and mouth sores after poor rest. Drinking herbal tea at this time has little effect.
This is because the fatigue produces virtual fire, and herbal tea is a cool tea that focuses on clearing fire.
Taboos: Therefore, those with weak spleen and stomach, diarrhea, or frequently cold hands and feet should not drink this tea.
Due to the diuretic components in herbal tea, elderly friends with renal insufficiency should also avoid excessive consumption.
【Astragalus, Goji Berry, and Red Date Tea】
The effects: Suitable for those with weak constitution. This tea can improve immunity, but its medicinal properties are warm. It is suitable for those with both qi and blood deficiency and weak spleen and stomach, such as feeling fatigue and weakness, cold hands and feet, poor appetite and loose stools, and excessive sweating due to physical weakness.
Taboos: However, it is not suitable for elderly people with stagnation and yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, such as constipation, hypertension, bacterial or viral infections, and symptoms of throat pain, as it may exacerbate the condition.
【Sicklepod Tea】
The effects: Be cautious for people with frequent diarrhea. Sicklepod can clear the liver and brighten the eyes, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, lower blood lipids and blood pressure, and promote diuresis.
However, taking sicklepod may cause nausea, abdominal distension, and diarrhea, and excessive consumption may even cause poisoning.
Taboos: Therefore, those with weak spleen and stomach, diarrhea, or low blood pressure should not take it. Those with low blood pressure and gastric ulcers should also avoid long-term and excessive consumption. Hypertensive patients should take it under the guidance of a doctor when used in combination with antihypertensive drugs.
