Water is a must-have nutrient for our body every day. Hydration is something that the human body must do every day. Everyone will have different opinions on the choice of drinks.
Take Xiaomei's family as an example. Grandpa only drinks tea, and he never leaves a tea cup every day. He has to drink two sips of tea before and after meals, while grandma only drinks boiled water, boils it with hot water, replenishes moisture and quenches thirst.
With the improvement of living conditions now, there are more and more ways to choose from "drinking water", such as simple boiled water, coffee, milk, tea, and various sweet drinks, etc. So for middle-aged and elderly friends, which one is more healthy to drink, tea, milk or boiled water?
- Beverage
Many middle-aged and elderly people like to eat some sweets after they get older and often drink some sweet drinks, including the common carbonated drinks , iced black tea, soda, etc.
Although these beverages also have the effect of moisturizing, the sugar content in these beverages is very high. After entering the body, these sugars will stimulate the stomach and intestines and cause obesity in middle-aged and elderly people. Usually, you should add less sugar when drinking porridge and soy milk.
- Milk
Milk is also one of the must-have drinks for middle-aged and elderly people. Milk is rich in high-quality protein and calcium. It is an excellent drink for middle-aged and elderly friends. However, it is recommended that you should not consume more than 300 grams of milk every day and not to be too much. Do not choose milk drinks with excessive sugar content. It will not only not be able to replenish hydration, but will also increase the burden on the body.
- Tea
in life. In comparison, the light taste of tea is more delicious than boiled water and relieves greasiness than milk. In addition, the tea is rich in tea polyphenols, catechins, vitamins and other nutrients.
Tea tastes refreshing and can replenish moisture. It is a natural health drink for older people. So what tea is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to drink?
- Qimu Hawthorn Tea
I remember when I was a child, my mother would always give me a piece of sour and sour hawthorn cake . After eating it, everything will taste good. Now it is late autumn that the red maple leaves and the round hawthorn hanging on the branches are decorated with colorful sky in this season.
Ruby hawthorn is rich in nutrients such as hawthorn acid , carotene , vitamin C. After soaking it in water, it can help open up your appetite, eliminate food accumulation, and it is delicious and nourishing.
When it comes to brewing hawthorn tea, you have to look at this Qimu hawthorn slice. Its fruits are plump and uniform, and the flesh is full and delicate. After the fresh fruit is sliced, it is hand-sifted and slim, leaving the raw material with thick fleshy fruits, and the slices are tender yellow and fragrant.
After natural drying, the color is naturally dark red, with a strong fruit sour taste. After soaking, the tea soup is clear and yellow, and the sweet and sour feeling spreads on the tip of the tongue after entering the mouth.
- green tea
green tea is the largest type of tea in my country. Most people have ever drunk green tea. Because of its light fermentation, green tea retains the natural nutrients such as tea polyphenols and chlorophyll in the original leaves to a greater extent. Green tea has strong versatility and can be used as base tea tea with many tea raw materials, which is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to drink.
There are many types of green tea, such as the common Xinyang Maojian , Huangshan Maofeng , Xihu Longjing , etc. Not only is the color of the dry tea tender green, but the tea soup after brewing is also light green and bright, with a refreshing tea aroma. The taste after entering the mouth is fresh and sweet, especially the spring tea picked every spring, as if you can smell the aroma of spring in every piece of tea.
- Qingchi Chrysanthemum Tea
Chrysanthemum tea has a history of 2,500 years in my country and is still loved by the public today. In late autumn, chrysanthemums bloom brightly. Chrysanthemums contain more trace elements and nutrients that are beneficial to the human body. After brewing, the taste is light and the chrysanthemum fragrance is everywhere. Middle-aged and elderly people make a cup every day. It is not only refreshing and pleasant, but also has the effect of removing dryness and moistening the throat. Although chrysanthemums are good, you should pay attention to screening quality when drinking.
This Kaifeng Qingchi chrysanthemum is committed to creating pure natural and high-quality chrysanthemums. From seedling cultivation, picking to drying, it insists on completing it through pure hand-made completion, and has accumulated a large amount of flavonoids, chrysanthemum, choline and other nutrients.
After blooming, the flower shape is huge like a jade plate, with thick and layered petals, and the bright yellow color is neither delicate nor bright. After drying, the dried flowers are soft and the chrysanthemums are long. After brewing, the dried flowers bloom again in the water. Take a sip. The clear sweetness touches the taste buds and makes people fascinated.
