1 Is it good to drink Tieguanyin in summer?

It is very good to drink some Tieguanyin in moderation in summer. Drinking Tieguanyin tea in summer has the best heat dissipation and cooling effect, especially it is more suitable to drink warm tea after sweating. Every 10 grams of sweat excreted can dissipate 5.8 kcal of heat. After 9 minutes, the skin temperature of the body surface can drop by 1-2 degrees Celsius, which has a noticeable cool feeling. Moreover, the caffeine contained in Tieguanyin has a diuretic effect, which can take away some calories with the excretion of urine. In addition, the tea polyphenols, amino acids, water-soluble pectin, aromatic substances, etc. in the tea soup can stimulate the oral mucosa, promote saliva secretion, and have the effect of promoting salivation and quenching thirst. Furthermore, in addition to the health benefits of general tea, Tieguanyin also has the effects of anti-aging, anti-atherosclerosis, prevention and treatment of diabetes, weight loss and fitness, prevention and treatment of tooth decay, and anti-smoking and hangover.

Health tips: Drinking hot tea in the summer will be more effective in relieving heat, because water cannot be absorbed in the stomach. Water that enters the stomach needs to flow into the small intestine to be absorbed. It takes 40-50 minutes for 500 grams of cold water to completely flow into the small intestine. If you drink hot water, it can accelerate the contraction of the stomach wall, promote the opening of the stomach's pylorus, and allow water to quickly flow into the small intestine and be absorbed. Therefore, drinking hot tea can satisfy the body's need for water as quickly as possible. This is one of the reasons why “drinking hot tea quenches thirst”. In addition, after hot tea enters the stomach, it can soften food, strengthen the contraction of the stomach wall, promote the secretion of gastric juice, and help digestion of food.
