I grew up in Astana, Kazakhstan, where the tea - is a cult. Kazakhs drink tea for any occasion, and black, and green, and it is very hot in small cups, constantly topping up a new batch to cool before it had. There is even an expression - "to throat boiling."
In general, the Kazakhs eat properly: they eat a lot of good protein foods - mutton, lamb, beef. And the meat they cook, which is a very good way of cooking. And probably would have been the Kazakhs the healthiest nation, if not all washed down with tea settles.
Cancer of the esophagus - a national disease peoples who use a lot of hot drinks.
Conduct a simple experiment - try to splash hot tea drink on the arm or leg. However, very sensitive? Some even can burn. Now imagine that here also we have several times a day Immolation own throat.
Constant exposure to aggressive temperatures can lead to degeneration of the mucous membranes.
Recently, a study was published in a scientific journal International Journal of Cancer.
Scientists for 10 years watching a group of 50 045 people in northeastern Iran. During this time, esophageal cancer was diagnosed in 328 people and 90% more likely to develop those who drank at least 700 ml of very hot tea (60 degrees and above) per day. That is, the connection can be traced.
TOTAL:
The ideal temperature for tea - below 60 degrees. It's still hot, but not scalding already.
How do you determine that a suitable temperature? Alas, I have no more wise advice on how to try the water with your finger. If you can tolerate - you can drink.
The second important point - the unique absorbent properties of tea. Tea helps rid the body of harmful substances, And useful in certain types of renal diseases.
But! If you drink tea, the food, the healing properties of these will work against us.
Tea just as well tie and bring the body of all that to find food - including the valuable nutrients, significantly reducing the calcium, vitamins B and A. (And fat, according to the law of meanness, leave ...).
So I have for you today two tips:
- drink tea acceptable temperature,
- drink tea separately from meals, you can in an hour after meal.
And one "eternal" advice - drink more water. Tea is not a substitute for water.
Tea - healthy and tasty drink full of antioxidants and micronutrients. He brings joy. Just do not bother him with food.
I wish everyone to stay healthy and beautiful as long as possible!
