Due to the continuous rise in temperature, people are prone to symptoms such as loss of appetite, sweating, and drowsiness in the hot summer. This is a manifestation of the increasing dampness in the body, which affects the stomach and intestines. So how to improve it? Have a cup of Liubao tea!
Liubao tea is well-known for its "dampness removal" in the market. In recent years, many scientific studies have confirmed that Liubao tea is indeed effective in removing dampness. In addition, Liubao tea also has many health-preserving effects. Today, let's explain it in detail!
• What is "dampness"?
Dampness is a theoretical concept of traditional Chinese medicine, which belongs to the "six qi" of traditional Chinese medicine. If there is too much moisture in the body, it affects the operation of the human body and induces disease, and it becomes one of the evil qi, namely "dampness evil", which belongs to the "six evils". "Wetness" can be divided into internal dampness and external dampness. Internal dampness is a typical disease that enters the body through the mouth; external dampness refers to external dampness. Excessive intake of greasy food, alcohol, cheese, cold drinks, etc. in summer will cause internal dampness to increase. External dampness includes humid air, rain, residence, etc., and long-term use of air conditioning will also bring a lot of external dampness.
Chinese medicine believes that common high-incidence diseases in summer, such as acute gastritis, acute diarrhea, and gastrointestinal colds, are closely related to "wetness".
• Why can Liubao tea remove dampness?
1. Environment
The mountain system of Liubao Town is an extension of the Dagui Mountain Range in Guidong. It is rich in mineral nutrients, with towering peaks, clouds and mist all year round, abundant rain, and high air humidity. Tea trees benefit from the high-quality ecological environment, with thick buds, heavy buds and leaves, and good tenderness. In this high-humidity environment, over time, they naturally develop the ability to resist moisture and adapt to the environment, laying a good foundation for the formation of the unique quality style of Liubao tea.
2. Technology
Liubao tea is a post-fermented tea, and its main process is pile fermentation. It contains polyphenol oxides, such as tea polyphenols, catechins and other compound components, as well as "golden flower" bacteria that can secrete amylase and oxidase. The various extracellular enzymes produced by these beneficial bacteria can regulate the intestinal microecology, improve hepatorubin metabolism, and promote the further increase of bile acid secretion, thereby achieving the effect of removing greasiness and removing phlegm and dampness.
• What are the benefits of drinking Liubao in summer?
1. Fat elimination and greasiness
It is said that if you don't lose weight in May and June, you will be sad in July and August. The aromatic compounds in Liubao tea can dissolve fat, remove turbidity and greasiness, and prevent fat from accumulating in the body. Catechins have the effects of anti-oxidation, improving metabolism, and reducing fat cell accumulation.
2. Dispel cold and warm the stomach
Liubao tea is warm in nature and dispels cold. In summer, the human body is weak inside and strong outside. The false heat on the surface of the body covers the true cold of the internal organs. It is especially suitable to drink old Liubao with good tea permeability, so as to dispel the internal cold and achieve the effect of warming.
3. Promoting body fluid and quenching thirst
Liubao tea is rich in tea polyphenols, amino acids, water-soluble pectin, aromatic substances, etc., which can stimulate the oral mucosa and promote saliva secretion better than boiled water. In hot weather, when thirst is unbearable, nothing can quench thirst better than a few cups of Liubao tea.
Summer is here, and the heat is coming. You might as well boil a pot of Liubao tea to clear your mind, relieve heat, remove dampness and strengthen the spleen!
