Most areas of our country have the habit of drinking tea. Some people even drink tea instead of drinking water. They even set up tea tables and tables specially for the atmosphere of drinking tea. how much importance.

In everyone's cognition, tea is the healthiest compared to other drinks, but it is not correct to completely replace drinking water.

Tea is good, but don't drink too much! ‍

Tea contains rich content of tea polyphenols , which have antioxidant effects. Proper drinking can reduce blood lipids and blood sugar, inhibit bacterial flora, and delay aging, which has many positive effects on human health.

However, tea also contains caffeine, oxalic acid and other ingredients. If you consume too much, the burden on your body will increase. Some people are more sensitive to these substances, and may even experience increased heart rate and sleep obstruction. Therefore, from the point of view of health preservation, it is not advisable to use tea instead of water, and 3 cups of weak tea a day is enough.

In addition, there are some particulars about drinking tea, such as the water should not be too hot, not overnight, and not put too much tea leaves. If the temperature of the tea is too high, it will burn the esophagus when drinking it, which may increase the risk of disease. If you drink tea overnight, although the tea itself will not lose nutrients, it will breed bacteria overnight, so it is not recommended to drink it overnight.

If you put too much tea leaves, it will increase the concentration of the tea water. The thicker the tea, the more caffeine and oxalic acid in it, and the more obvious the adverse reactions after drinking it for a period of time.

Since drinking tea cannot replace drinking water, how to choose mineral water , pure water , soda water ? ‍

In our daily life, we will encounter propaganda about various kinds of water, such as "Mineral water is rich in minerals!", "Pure water is free of impurities!" and "Soda water can relieve acid reflux and treat gout. !" Wait, so how do we choose these waters?

Mineral water

This kind of water has high mineral content and looks like it is very nutritious, but in fact, the minerals needed by the human body are not supplemented by water, and the mineral content in mineral water is very small. , is only slightly richer than ordinary drinking water, and drinking water alone cannot meet the needs of the human body, so the role of this water is limited to replenishing water, which is no different from ordinary drinking water.

Pure water

This kind of water is mainly free of impurities, looks clean and clear, and has no harm to the human body, but when this water is produced, natural water will be processed many times by a water purifier, and the filtration is harmful In the process of substances, some of the trace elements that are beneficial to the human body will also be removed, resulting in a large loss of nutrients. Therefore, from the perspective of trace element intake, compared with ordinary drinking water, the content of trace elements in purified water is reduced.

Soda water

This water is mainly used to relieve acid reflux and treat gout, and it seems to have a certain maintenance effect on the stomach. I have to be excited about it, but in fact, the relevant statement about soda water is not reliable.

The first is to relieve acid reflux. In fact, as long as you drink water, the stomach acid is diluted with water, which can relieve acid reflux. After the soda water enters the stomach, a large amount of sodium bicarbonate and stomach acid will easily cause stomach bloating.

The second is the treatment of gout. Sodium bicarbonate does have a certain effect on the treatment of gout, but the total content of soda water does not meet the demand for the treatment of gout, so simply drinking soda water cannot treat gout.

How to drink water more healthily? ‍

In fact, when it comes to drinking water, the focus is not on which water to choose, but on the amount of water and drinking habits. No matter what type of water, the ultimate goal is to replenish water, as long as the food safety is guaranteed , are safe to drink.

According to the normal consumption of the human body, people should drink eight glasses of water a day, that is, 1000ml to 1500ml. In summer, the loss of dry water is accelerated, and it is necessary to replenish water in time. It is recommended that you take the initiative to drink water at ordinary times, do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water, and drink water evenly, which can make it better for the human body.

You can't drink too much tea. There must be a way to drink water. Dear friends, is your body full of water today?
