Youth is like a flower, yet its bloom is brief.
Fortunately, there is tea, which can slow down the aging process.
The destructive activities of free radicals are the primary culprits behind human aging. While aging is inevitable, we can always slow it down, even if just a little.
The majority of women turn to cosmetics for help. Unfortunately, the factors that cause aging mainly originate from within the body. Cosmetics can eliminate some blemishes, tighten the skin, shield against ultraviolet rays, and mask dilated pores. However, if the free radicals within the body are not promptly cleared, the effects of aging remain unstoppable.
Thankfully, there is tea. Modern research shows that tea is the most potent natural plant capable of eliminating free radicals.
Tea polyphenols inhibit various oxidase enzymes, effectively clearing free radicals. This is the most immediate route to antioxidant benefits, while also suppressing the production of free radicals and activating the body's antioxidant enzyme system. Studies have shown that the antioxidant properties of tea polyphenols are significantly superior to those of vitamin E, with anti-aging effects 18 times stronger than vitamin E. Furthermore, they have synergistic effects when combined with vitamins C and E.
We can simply use tea leaves to wash our face or mix them with honey to make a facial mask, achieving effects such as removing facial oiliness, tightening pores, killing bacteria, and protecting against ultraviolet radiation damage to the skin.
We can also drink several bowls of tea daily to clear free radicals from within the body.
Nearly 90% of the body's free radicals originate from abnormal fermentation in the gut. Thus, a refreshing bowl of matcha can almost completely eliminate these free radicals. How simple!
More importantly, catechins in tea inhibit digestive enzymes in the gut, reducing the absorption of carbohydrates and fats and thus helping combat obesity. Tea polyphenols can also prevent the accumulation of fat in the body and promote the breakdown of excess fat, further aiding in the fight against obesity. Scientific studies have proven that obesity hinders the clearance of free radicals. Therefore, drinking tea has multiple benefits for women seeking to combat aging and eliminate free radicals.
This explains why some women still have skin like young girls even at the age of 60, as aside from their diet and cosmetics, they understand the importance of “drinking tea.”
Understanding how to consume tea not only helps us effectively eliminate free radicals but also practicing the art of tea can calm your mind and enhance your elegance. Aging affects both the body and the mind.
Time flies, how wonderful it is to have tea.
