Youth is like a flower, but the blooming period is short.
Fortunately, there is tea, which can slow down aging.
The destructive activities of free radicals are the main culprits behind human aging. While aging is inevitable, we can always try to slow it down, even just a little bit more.
The majority of women turn to cosmetics for help. Unfortunately, factors that cause aging often originate from within the body. Cosmetics can eliminate some pigmentation, tighten the skin, shield against ultraviolet rays, and cover up black pores. However, if the body's internal free radicals are not promptly removed, aging remains unstoppable.
Thankfully, there is tea. Modern studies have shown that tea is the most potent natural plant when it comes to eliminating free radicals.
Tea polyphenols inhibit various oxidase enzymes, effectively clearing free radicals. This is the fastest-acting antioxidant pathway. They also prevent the production of free radicals and activate the body's antioxidant enzyme system. Studies show that the antioxidant properties of tea polyphenols are significantly stronger than those of vitamin E, making them 18 times more effective in combating aging. Furthermore, they have synergistic effects with vitamins C and E.
We can simply wash our face with tea-infused water or mix honey with tea to make a mask, achieving benefits such as removing facial oiliness, tightening pores, killing bacteria, and protecting against UV radiation damage.
We can also drink several cups of tea daily to clear free radicals from our bodies.
Ninety percent of the free radicals in the human body come from abnormal fermentation in the gut. Thus, a bowl of fresh 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, which helps fight obesity. Tea polyphenols can also prevent fat deposition and promote the breakdown of excess fat, further aiding in the fight against obesity. Scientific research has proven that obesity hinders the removal of free radicals, so for women looking to combat aging and remove free radicals, drinking tea offers multiple benefits.
This explains why some women still have youthful skin at age 60. In addition to their diet and use of cosmetics, they understand the value of “drinking tea.”
Understanding how to consume tea not only helps us eliminate free radicals effectively but also allows us to maintain a peaceful state of mind and carry ourselves gracefully. Aging affects us both physically and mentally.
Time flies, but having tea is wonderful.
