Modern research has proved that proper drinking of aged or ripe Pu'er tea can warm the stomach. It can be seen that the medicinal value of Pu'er tea is high. Scientific research shows that in addition to other tea like functions, modern research has proved that the curative effect is more prominent in the following aspects: nourishing and protecting the stomach.
Under the proof of medical clinical trials, the aged Pu'er tea really has the function of protecting the stomach. Under the appropriate concentration, drinking the peaceful Pu'er tea does not stimulate the stomach. The thick, smooth and mellow Pu'er tea enters the membrane formed by the human stomach and adheres to the surface of the stomach, which produces a beneficial protective layer for the stomach. Drinking the Pu'er tea for a long time can play the role of nourishing the stomach and protecting the stomach.
Pu'er old tea is suitable for friends with more social activities
For office workers living in the city, due to work or environmental factors, gastrointestinal function is reduced, stomach cold and stomachache often occur. In addition, if there is social intercourse after work, drinking is inevitable, which makes the gastrointestinal burden and injury more serious.
Although some medicine will be prepared to relieve stomach pain, it is still not fundamentally solved. There must be a long-term way to nourish and protect the stomach. The unique warming effect of old Pu'er tea can make the family drink it very well every day. Some of the above problems will be greatly alleviated after drinking Pu'er tea.
'small molecules' are good for gastrointestinal absorption
After fermentation, a large number of derived substances of cooked tea basically belong to small molecules, which is beneficial to the absorption of gastrointestinal tract of human body and has little stimulation. Green tea and oolong tea are different. Although they contain more tea polyphenols than Pu'er tea, many of the substances in tea polyphenols are macromolecules. Drinking them on an empty stomach can produce strong gastrointestinal stimulation. As a result, adults and children with weakened constitution are often told to drink green tea carefully, let alone drink it on an empty stomach.
Green tea, as the traditional Chinese medicine says, is cold and has a lot to do with its macromolecules. Similarly, Pu'er tea (i.e. fresh picked Pu'er raw tea) without artificial fermentation and natural fermentation can not be drunk on an empty stomach because of its high molecular weight.
Therefore, in addition to raw Pu'er tea, Pu'er tea that has been naturally fermented for more than ten years and Pu'er tea that has been aged for more than five years has the effect of "warming the stomach". Of course, the longer the tea is aged, the better the effect. The main reason is related to small molecules.
Pectin promotes healing of ulcer surface
The pectin content of ripe tea is much higher than that of other teas. It not only shows good adsorption, but also can bond and eliminate bacterial toxins and other harmful substances in the body, such as lead, mercury and radioactive elements in heavy metals, playing an detoxifying role; at the same time, it can protect the gastric mucosa and help digestion. For people with gastric ulcer or gastritis, Pu'er tea pectin can form a membrane state attached to the gastric wound, promote the healing of ulcer surface, and is suitable for patients with gastric disease to drink.
Caffeine improves digestive function
The caffeine contained in Pu'er old tea can neutralize the stomach acid of human body and improve the digestive function. The shorter the 'year', the more turbid the tea is, and the longer the 'year', the less turbid the tea is. For 'old tea' aged for more than ten years, no visible suspended matter and impurities should appear, and the soup color will become more and more transparent with the increase of years. For more than 30 years' old tea ', the change of soup color will not be obvious.
The most nourishing way to drink
It should be to drink a cup of warm tea soup on an empty stomach every morning. It is better to drink Pu'er tea with good quality over ten years. Especially for people with excessive stomach acid or gastritis and gastric ulcer, if a spoonful of honey is added during drinking, its stomach nourishing effect is more obvious. The key to nourishing the stomach lies in 'nourishing'. This' cultivation 'is not an immediate result, but a result of continuous' persistence'. Therefore, in addition to drinking Pu'er tea, it is essential to maintain good living habits.
