Recently, the research team of Fudan University in Shanghai announced a major research result, saying that drinking tea stimulates the meridians of the human body to form images of the meridians of the human body, allowing people to "see the meridians".
The original text of the paper is "Infrared imageries of human body activated by teas indicate the existence of meridian system", which is translated as "Infrared images of the human body stimulated by tea to indicate the existence of meridians". The related paper was published in Quantitative Biology in March ("Quantitative Biology"). Biology) in the journal.
After the publication of the paper, it attracted a large wave of melon eaters
The publication of this research result immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Chinese medicine scholars, tea lovers, and melon eaters all came to watch the "front row eating melon".
Is there magic?
Drinking tea can make the meridians "show themselves"?
A brand name university Is this a joke? Could it be that
is another "cooked egg reborn" farce?
...
After this microblog was published and spread on the Internet, it quickly aroused strong reactions among netizens. In just eight hours, it received 36,000 likes, 2,046 comments, 3,135 reposts, and the video was played 1.82 million times. As of 18:00 that night, this news ranked fifteenth on Sina's hot search.
Is this paper credible? The research results are indeed valid!
First of all, the author of the paper, Li Hui, is a professor at the School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, and an anthropology expert. He publicly stated that everyone is welcome to "find the fault".
Secondly, the four units of the paper signed are authoritative units. Everyone knows that "authoritative units" cherish their "feathers" very much. They should go through a rigorous scrutiny before signing their organization name.
From this perspective, this paper is indeed justified and published after rigorous review.
Hey, it's all the fault of "boiled eggs coming back to life", which reduces our trust in the paper a lot.
How did the experiment of "drinking tea can stimulate the body's meridians" came out?
In order to show respect for this research, Xiaoxing went to learn about this paper. I don't know if I didn't read it. It really opened a new door for me to know about tea.
In order to verify the effect of tea on human meridians, Professor Li Hui's research team recruited a total of 42 volunteers , 17 males and 25 females, and went to a tea estate in Fujian for experiments. (Why not a laboratory? Because other interference factors must be excluded to ensure the rigor of the data).
Professor Li Hui selected six major tea types that have a significant impact on the meridians: yellow tea , dark tea , white tea , green tea , green tea , black tea . Specifically, there are 12 varieties, such as cooked Pu'er , Houkui , Tieguanyin , Zhengshan Souchong .... etc., as shown in the figure below.
The volunteers drank tea three times within 30 minutes, 300ml each time, and took front and back photos with an infrared imager within 2 minutes of each drinking.
research and testing found:
I have to say that researchers really admire
Wow, the "hidden" effect of tea has been discovered.
Drinking tea is indeed beneficial to physical and mental health.
The academic research debate on tea and meridians, even a plain-headed common man, can't tell the truth, and we will wait for the follow-up further research results to appear.
But drinking tea is good for the mind and body, that's for sure. Drinking tea can promote body fluid and quench thirst, refresh your mind, promote digestion, eliminate fatigue, and strengthen your body. Therefore, tea, as a healthy drink, has always played an important role in the world.
Here, Xiaoxing also said a sincere word: We want to pay tribute to the scientific research workers who are struggling in the front line. Every breakthrough in human research results is due to these conscientious researchers working day and night. In conclusion, the process may be tortuous, but the future is bright.
Without them, how can we achieve breakthroughs again and again? Therefore, please maintain awe of science and treat each scientific research result with a rational attitude.
