Benefits Of Huoshan Huangya Tea
- Protecting the spleen and stomach: irregular daily diet and frequent consumption of spicy and greasy foods are prone to injure the spleen and stomach. This tea contains tea polyphenols, which can form a protective film on the gastric mucosa, blocking gastric acid and bacterial stimulation. Tea polysaccharides can regulate the work of spleen and stomach immune cells, stabilize the internal environment of the spleen and stomach, and reduce inflammation. Long-term consumption can repair the damage to the spleen and stomach, enhance digestion and absorption, make one’s meals more flavorful and nutrients more fully absorbed.
- Antioxidant: The body’s metabolism generates free radicals. Free radicals attack cells, causing them to age and become damaged, triggering problems such as skin wrinkles and body lesions. This tea is rich in catechins, flavonoids and other antioxidants, which can scavenge free radicals, reduce cell damage, keep the body young and energetic, and slow down aging.
- Promote appetite: Work and study stress and nervousness often make people have no appetite. Caffeine in tea can stimulate gastric secretion of gastric juice, accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote food digestion. Its light and refreshing aroma can soothe tension and relax the body and mind, thus boosting the appetite, allowing people to eat more and replenish enough energy for the body.
