Does drinking strong tea help sober you up after drinking alcohol? Not only does it not help, but it also adds extra burden to the kidneys. After drinking alcohol, it is important to drink plenty of plain water or milk to alleviate the pressure on the stomach and intestines. The next morning, you can drink some ripe Pu'er tea or dark tea to help restore the function of your digestive system. Does Drinking Strong Tea Sober You Up? People have always believed that "drinking strong tea sobers you up," which is incorrect. When you drink alcohol, a large amount of it enters the body and is eventually broken down into carbon dioxide and water through the action of enzymes. The idea of sobering up means accelerating the metabolism of alcohol. Drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol causes the theophylline in the tea to rapidly exert its diuretic effect on the kidneys. This promotes the premature entry of unmetabolized acetaldehyde into the kidneys, potentially damaging kidney function. Alcohol has a significant stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system, increasing heart rate. Strong tea is rich in caffeine, which also has a stimulating effect on the heart. Using both together increases the burden…

Famous nutritionist Yu Ruomu pointed out: "According to modern research in medicine, biology, and nutrition, most of the components that regulate human metabolism are also present in tea." Scientific analysis has identified over six or seven hundred substances in tea, including organic chemical components such as polyphenols, alkaloids, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, pectins, organic acids, polysaccharides, sugars, enzymes, pigments, etc. These can be summarized into several categories. I. Polyphenols Polyphenols are a collective term for phenolic organic compounds found in tea, making up 15% to 35% of its total weight. The primary component affecting taste is tannin, which imparts astringency. Catechins account for approximately 70% of the total polyphenol content and are crucial in determining the color, aroma, and flavor of the tea. Polyphenols are a significant class of compounds distinguishing tea from other plants and are the primary components responsible for tea's health benefits.

Black tea is a fully fermented tea. Traditionally, it was the only type of tea known in the West. Westerners tend to prefer black tea. Major production areas of black tea include China, Sri Lanka, India, Kenya, and others. Black tea goes through the processes of picking, withering, rolling, fermentation, and drying – an additional step of fermentation compared to green tea. Fermentation refers to the oxidation of the tea leaves in the air. This process reduces the levels of catechins and tannins in the tea leaves, producing new components such as theaflavins and thearubigins, as well as aromatic substances like alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and esters. Therefore, black tea leaves appear black, or a mix of black and the orange-yellow of young buds; the tea liquor is deep red in color; it has a pleasant aroma; and due to the reduced bitterness and astringency, the taste is sweeter and more mellow. The Benefits and Effects of Black Tea 1. Diuretic Effect of Black Tea In black tea, caffeine and aromatic compounds work together to increase blood flow to the kidneys, enhance glomerular filtration rate, dilate renal microvessels, and inhibit water reabsorption by the renal tubules, thus promoting increased urine output.…

Tea is closely related to our daily lives, and drinking tea has many benefits, such as reducing fat and aiding digestion. However, there are many considerations when drinking tea, and it's important to be aware of certain things to truly gain health benefits. Here are some points to keep in mind. What Precautions Should Be Taken When Drinking Tea? 1. It's best to drink tea about an hour after a meal. Dr. Liu Yandi, the director of the Gastroenterology Department at Tianjin People's Hospital, explains that drinking tea after a meal can affect iron absorption. Tannins in tea can bind with dietary iron, forming a precipitate that hinders iron absorption, which may lead to anemia over time. Therefore, it's best to drink tea about an hour after eating. Also, avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach, as it can dilute gastric acid, affecting digestion and potentially causing dizziness, palpitations, or other discomforts. 2. The first infusion of tea should be discarded. Some teas may contain residual pesticides, dust mites, etc., so it's best to discard the first infusion. Fresh teas have a short storage period and contain higher levels of unoxidized polyphenols, aldehydes, and alcohols, which can strongly stimulate the…
