Tea knowledge: After drinking Pu'er tea, you need to temporarily avoid these five types of food!

The warm and nourishing effect of Pu'er tea has long been a consensus among tea lovers. However, this tacit understanding with the body may be broken by improper diet. After drinking Pu'er tea, you need to temporarily avoid these five types of food to live up to its health-preserving effect.

◆  Avoid alcohol

The saying "drinking tea after drinking is good for the liver and sobering up" is actually a cognitive misunderstanding. Alcohol is strong and needs to be slowly metabolized by the liver after entering the mouth; Pu'er tea is slippery and can accelerate blood circulation. When the two meet, it is like a raging fire meeting a flowing spring. The activity of tea will increase the burden on the heart.

The strong nature of alcohol stimulates the stomach and intestines, causing constant sweating at the mildest and nausea and discomfort at the worst. If you get drunk accidentally, you can first warm your stomach with hot milk, and then drink cooked Pu'er tea after breakfast the next day. At this time, the mellowness of the tea is a comfort to the spleen and stomach, rather than the disturbance brewed with alcohol.

◆  Avoid medicine

Tea polyphenols and alkaloids in Pu'er tea are prone to chemical reactions when they come into contact with drugs. Whether it is the essence of Chinese medicine or the chemical components of Western medicine, they may form precipitation when they meet with substances in tea, affecting the efficacy of the medicine.

In mild cases, the efficacy of the medicine is weakened, and in severe cases, it hinders absorption. During medication, it is necessary to wait for the efficacy of the medicine to gradually dissipate, and then use Pu'er tea to moisten the throat. This is the safe way. The warmth of tea and the precision of medicine should be kept at their own time.

◆  Avoid high protein

The acidic substances and proteins in tea are mixed together, which will condense into substances that are difficult to digest, reduce intestinal peristalsis, reduce water in the intestines, affect the digestive system, and cause constipation. Generally speaking, if you eat high-protein foods such as beef, milk, eggs, etc., it is better not to drink Pu'er tea within 3 hours. Wait until the food is initially digested before drinking it. At this time, the activity of tea can just become a helper for digestion, rather than a hindrance.

◆  Avoid animal livers

The liver of animals has hematopoiesis and contains a lot of iron which is beneficial to human body. Tannic acid in Pu'er will combine with it and reduce the absorption rate of iron. The liver is a tonic, but if it is shared with tea, its nutritional value will be reduced. It is better to stagger it for three to five hours, so that the nutrients can be fully absorbed first, and then use the clear Pu'er to help regulate blood lipids. At this time, the lipid-lowering effect of tea can be fully demonstrated, which complements the nourishment of liver.

◆  Avoid lipid-lowering vegetables

Pu'er tea has the effect of lowering blood lipids. If it is eaten with celery, fungus and other blood lipid-lowering vegetables, it is like two swords coming out at the same time, which may make the body's qi and blood cool. Especially those with weak constitutions are prone to fatigue and fear of cold, which will lose the balance of diet. Diet should be "neutral": if there are many blood lipid-lowering vegetables in the meal, you can temporarily replace tea with warm water; after the stomach and intestines are relieved, drink Pu'er tea to warm the spleen and stomach. Let the effect of tea and the characteristics of food complement each other, rather than offset each other.

All things are interdependent and mutually restrained. There is no upper without lower, and no low without high. Chinese people pay attention to the five elements, and there is also this in diet. Long-term drinking of Pu'er tea It is very beneficial to human health. Its effects of reducing fat, three highs, warming the stomach, and refreshing the mind have been scientifically certified and trusted by consumers. However, when drinking Pu'er tea, you must pay attention to the method, and don't turn a good product into poison.

The way to keep Pu'er tea healthy lies not only in its mellowness, but also in the measure of drinking. Avoiding these five types of food at the right time does not deny the tolerance of tea, but knows how to let it play its drinking value at the right time. The beauty of a cup of Pu'er must be in sync with the rhythm of the body, neither fast nor slow, so as to get the nourishing taste.
