Fuding White Tea: Rich In Tea Polyphenols

Fuding white tea is quite rich in tea polyphenols, and Liu Zhonghua, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, led a team to investigate and show that white tea contains high levels of tea polyphenols, amino acids and other active ingredients.What is the use of tea polyphenols?

What is the use of tea polyphenols?

①Anti-aging
Tea polyphenols have strong antioxidant and physiological activity, is the scavenger of human free radicals, can inhibit lipoxygenase and lipid peroxidation in the skin mitochondria, and thus has anti-aging effect. Studies have shown that 1 mg of tea polyphenols scavenging excess free radicals harmful to the human organism is equivalent to 9 micrograms of superoxide dismutase (SOD), much higher than other similar substances; tea polyphenols anti-oxidant is significantly stronger than vitamin E 18 times, and with vitamin C, E has a synergistic effect.

②Allergy relief
Polyphenols can strongly inhibit the release of histamine, experiments have shown that tea polyphenols anti-allergic reactions and anti-skin allergic reactions than the currently used anti-allergic drugs to inhibit the effect of 2 to 10 times stronger.

③Detoxification
Tea polyphenols have a strong adsorption effect on heavy metals, can form complexes with heavy metals and produce precipitation, which is conducive to reducing the toxic effects of heavy metals on the human body. In addition, tea polyphenols also have the effect of improving liver function and diuretic, and thus have a good anti-detoxification effect on alkaloid poisoning.

④Aids digestion
Caffeine in tea polyphenols can improve the secretion of gastric juice, which can help digestion and enhance the ability to break down fat. The so-called “long food makes you thin” is the reason here.

⑤ Radiation protection
Tea polyphenols and their oxidation products have excellent anti-radiation function, can absorb radioactive substances and stop their diffusion in the body, known as a natural UV filter.

(6) Tooth protection
Tea polyphenols can kill lactic acid bacteria and other carious bacteria present in the teeth, and have the effect of inhibiting the activity of glucose polymerase, effectively interrupting the process of tooth decay formation. The protein food left in the teeth becomes the substrate for the proliferation of decay bacteria, and tea polyphenols can kill such bacteria.

(7) Skin care
Tea polyphenols are water-soluble substances, washing face with it can remove facial grease, astringent pores, disinfection, sterilization, anti-skin aging, reduce the sun’s ultraviolet radiation damage to the skin and other effects.

What diseases are tea polyphenols beneficial for?

①High blood pressure
Tea polyphenols have a strong inhibitory effect on the activity of converting enzymes, and thus can play a role in lowering or keeping blood pressure stable.

②Thrombosis
Tea polyphenols have a protective and repairing effect on the deformability of red blood cells, and they are easy to form a complex with thrombin to prevent fibrinogen from becoming fibrin. In addition, tea polyphenols can effectively inhibit the rise of cholesterol content in plasma and liver, and promote the excretion of lipids and bile acids, thus effectively preventing the formation of blood clots.

③ Asthma
Tea polyphenols can inhibit the allergic reaction caused by active factors such as antibodies, epinephrine, enzymes, etc. It has significant effect on allergic conditions such as asthma.

④Constipation
As the saying goes: “a cup of morning tea, a day of prestige”, tea polyphenols have the effect of stimulating the gastrointestinal tract response and accelerating the peristalsis of the large intestine to treat constipation.

⑤ Diarrhea
Tea polyphenols inhibit and kill various harmful pathogens that cause diarrhea by improving the body’s comprehensive immune system, and soothe the tension of the stomach and intestines to achieve the effect of anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal.

(6) Scurvy
Tea polyphenols can promote the absorption of vitamin C in the body, thus effectively preventing and treating scurvy. Drinking tea makes people healthy, thanks in large part to the effect of tea polyphenols.
