Green radish: useful properties, contraindications, benefits and harms. Useful properties of green tea

Green tea is recognized as the first of 10 foods that promote health and longevity. Minimal processing of this type of tea preserves most of the vitamins, minerals and other bioactive substances that affect all organs and systems of the human body.

The ability of tea to strengthen the immune system, relieve spasms of cerebral vessels, activate the heart, improve sleep, strengthen nervous system relieve depression, improve sexual energy and fight with overweight. The mechanisms of the anti-cancer and anti-radiation effects of tea still remain unexplored, but the benefits of tea in these cases are undeniable. The tea may help prevent cancer by purifying the blood and boosting the immune system. The anti-radiation effect of green tea is eloquently evidenced by the fact that the inhabitants of Hiroshima, who regularly drink several cups of green tea a day, not only survived after the explosion, but also improved their condition. Japanese green tea has the ability to absorb and remove strontium-90 from the body, even if it has managed to be deposited in bone tissue. By the way, a modern person, surrounded by radiation from a computer, TV and other devices and inhaling city air, simply needs to regular use green tea, which has such valuable properties.

In addition to normalizing the functioning of the body, green tea is also a powerful spiritual stimulant. That is why green tea and oolong are used in Chinese and Japanese tea ceremonies. During the ceremony, tea promotes maximum focus and openness to new ideas. It is not uncommon for an understanding of a problem and a completely non-standard solution to it to come over a cup of tea. High-quality tea is a mild psychostimulant that regulates mental processes without causing harm to the body. With regular consumption of green tea, vision is sharpened and the susceptibility of the nervous system increases, the reaction rate increases, the thinking process accelerates, the ability to concentrate for a long time increases and creative activity is stimulated.

Tea makes us resilient to stress and improves mood in depression. All this can also be explained by the purification of blood from toxins, but it is much more pleasant to realize that together with tea we are pouring a mysterious, magical essence into ourselves. Tea connoisseurs note that conversations over tea differ from everyday conversations and reveal the interlocutor from the best side. However, only fresh and properly prepared tea has such wonderful properties.

Despite the fact that tea packages indicate a shelf life of one to three years, three-year-old tea is much inferior in taste and useful properties to fresh tea. When buying tea, you should make it a rule to look at the date of production. The information on the packaging will help to avoid another trouble - flavorings. The very fact that “nature identical flavors” had to be added to green tea makes one wonder about its quality (or age). Even if the tea contains additives such as jasmine, hibiscus, chrysanthemum, pieces of fruit, lemon peel and other beautiful things, it is better to check the information on the package. Perhaps these additives only cover the use of flavorings.

It should not be assumed that green tea is a new and unusual product for Russia. Green tea was popular in Russia long before Europe knew about it. Only in the 19th century, following the English fashion, Russians massively switched to black tea. The love for black tea and the established traditions of its preparation “in Russian” often make it difficult to realize the fact that black tea is made from the same tea leaves as green tea, but undergoes additional processing, which makes it less useful.

The most common mistake when brewing green tea is using the “traditional Russian method”, in which the tea leaves are prepared in advance in a large teapot, infused for a long time, diluted with boiling water to taste and flavored with sugar. It is difficult to spoil the taste of black tea with improper preparation, so this economical method seems to many to be the only correct one. Green tea is softer and richer. He requires special attention. It is not surprising that green tea has so few admirers in Russia - it is quite difficult to enjoy the bitter yellow liquid with a pungent odor ... In addition, with this method of brewing, tea loses all useful properties and even acquires harmful ones. It is completely pointless to force yourself to drink improperly prepared tea in order to get rid of excess weight.

To enjoy green tea, you need soft water without foreign odors. In no case should water be brought to a boil, even when brewing black tea. Green tea is much thinner than black tea, and too hot water will destroy its flavor, aroma, and health benefits. 80-85C is the ideal water temperature for green teas. It is best to infuse tea in a small clay teapot. It is difficult to make recommendations about the number of tea leaves and the time of infusion, because it depends on the type of tea and the time of harvest, the softness of the water and personal preference. To begin with, you can brew one teaspoon of tea per 100 ml of water, if the taste is not bright enough, next time increase the dose.

The taste properties of each tea are determined empirically. It takes a lot of experience and special knowledge to properly prepare an unfamiliar tea the first time. The only thing to remember when preparing green tea is that its infusion time should not exceed 10 seconds. (Of course, you can follow the directions on the package and steep for 3-4 minutes, but who likes the result?) Many green teas become bitter even when steeped for 3-4 seconds. Dilution of tea with water negates its beneficial properties. Adding sugar equates tea to compote, which is not bad in itself, but makes no sense, especially if the tea is expensive. Quality teas withstand up to 15 repeated brewing. That's why teapot should be small.

With all its advantages, tea also has contraindications: excessive sensitivity to caffeine and addiction to caffeine. Sensitivity to caffeine can be individual, which is very rare, and situational: with exacerbation of stomach ulcers, hypertension, kidney disease, glaucoma, psychasthenia, and any illness accompanied by high fever. If you have a cold, you should drink weak green tea. Large amounts of green tea are not recommended for pregnant and lactating women, but a few cups of high-quality tea a day will do the trick. Young children are very sensitive to tea. Until 10-12 years old, children should not get involved strong tea, but a weak infusion of green tea will provide children's body vitamins and other useful substances.

One of the secrets Caucasian longevity- these are edible herbs that grow everywhere in mountain villages, local residents are well aware of this and collect fresh plants in the season, cook cakes with them, bake pies, canned and, of course, use them in fresh. Probably, the experience of the ancestors tells the aksakals that greens are able to neutralize carcinogens that are formed during cooking meat on an open fire.
