Stomach-nourishing effect of Fuding White Tea

Fuding white tea relies on unique natural conditions, careful production technology, do not knead, do not stir-fry, is a slightly fermented tea, cool. However, after the old white tea is aged for a period of time, the inner matter is transformed and becomes warm and moist. Although silent, but time is the best witness. In the past, not many people knew her, but now it has become a hot tea for tea guests.

One of the most obvious differences between old white tea and other kinds of tea is that old white tea can be drunk on an empty stomach. If the right amount of honey is added, the effect of nourishing the stomach is better.

Often listen to tea friends talk about drinking tea to maintain health, and inevitably talk about stomach damage and stomach maintenance.

So does tea really hurt your stomach?

How to drink it can hurt your stomach?

Is there a way to drink without hurting your stomach?

So how can tea nourish the stomach?

Is white tea reliable for nourishing the stomach?

If we want to understand, we must first understand our stomach with an objective attitude.

The stomach is a solid bag located in the upper abdomen below the lungs. The wall of this bag is called the stomach wall and consists of three layers of tissue, the inner layer is the mucous layer, the middle is the muscle layer, and the outer layer is the serous layer. The mucous layer has gastric glands, which are responsible for secreting mucus, gastric acid and pepsin.

The acidity of gastric acid is very strong, usually the pH is about 3; when the food ball enters the stomach, gastric acid begins to secrete in large quantities, which can reduce the pH value in the stomach to less than 2. Pepsin is used to digest and decompose proteins. Mucus is a gel-like bicarbonate barrier, which plays the role of lubrication and isolation, isolating the mucosal epithelium from gastric acid and pepsin, and protecting the mucous membrane from the corrosion of gastric acid and pepsin digestion.

The key to the quality of the stomach is the mental state, and the spirit directly affects the physical health, and even the disease.

Because the stomach receives the common innervation of sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve, when the human body is in a calm state, the excitement of parasympathetic nerve is dominant, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of nutrients and the supplement of energy; when the human body is in an excited state or adverse environment, the activity of the sympathetic nerve is enhanced to mobilize the potential and adaptability of the body organs to cope with the rapid changes in the environment and maintain the relative stability of the internal environment.

Therefore, the coordination of neural activities, including the regularity of life, adequate sleep, mood swings, stress balance and so on, are essential to the function and health of the stomach.

So, what effect does tea have on the stomach?

First of all, drinking tea can replenish water, the human body has enough water, the mucus secreted by the mucous membrane will be sufficient, and the mucosal epithelium can be better protected.

Second, the PH value of tea is between 5. 5-7, which is weakly acidic, which is negligible compared to the strong acidity of gastric acid. It does not irritate the gastric mucosa and does not neutralize gastric acid.

Third, there is caffeine in the tea, which has a temporary excitatory effect on the central nervous system, thus promoting gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal peristalsis, helping digestion, so people say "drinking tea and eating." But if there is no food in the stomach, too much gastric acid is bound to stimulate the gastric mucosa, resulting in burning or tingling discomfort. Therefore, we should pay attention to avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach.

After oxidative transformation and later fermentation, a large number of derivatives of aged white tea are basically small molecules, which are beneficial to the adsorption of gastrointestinal tract of human body and have little irritation. Green tea is different from oolong tea, although they also contain tea polyphenols, but many of the substances contained in tea polyphenols are macromolecules, which can cause strong irritation to the stomach and intestines when drunk on an empty stomach.

As a result, weakening adults and children are often told to drink green tea carefully, let alone on an empty stomach. I am afraid that the "cold nature" of green tea in traditional Chinese medicine is related to the macromolecules contained in it.

Similarly, Pu'er tea without artificial fermentation and natural fermentation (that is, newly picked Pu'er raw tea) can not be drunk on an empty stomach because of its high molecular weight.

Therefore, the old white tea fermented naturally for more than 7 years has the effect of "warming the stomach", and the main reason is related to small molecules.

The pectin content of old white tea is much higher than that of other teas. It not only shows good adsorption, but also binds and eliminates bacterial toxins and other harmful substances in the body, such as lead, mercury and radioactive elements in heavy metals, and plays the role of detoxification; at the same time, it can protect gastric mucosa and help digestion.

For people with gastric ulcers or gastritis, old white tea pectin can form a thin film attached to the stomach wound, promote ulcer healing, suitable for patients with stomach disease to drink.

The caffeine contained in old white tea can neutralize the stomach acid of the human body, thereby improving digestive function. The key point of the stomach-nourishing effect of old white tea lies in the quality of oxidation and fermentation stored in the later stage.

The key to nourishing the stomach is "nourishing". This "cultivation" is not the result of being seen immediately, but the result of continuous "persistence". Therefore, in addition to drinking white tea, maintaining good living habits is also essential.
