With this, let\u2019s start talking about the effect of tea on the body.\u00a0Man, and tea have been together not so long ago (China is an exception), and in almost all cultures, tea has appeared as a medicine.\u00a0It definitely has healing properties; humanity has had enough time to be convinced of this.\u00a0There are also stories of miraculous healing with tea, mostly Chinese and biofit tea for Philippines<\/a>.\u00a0Tea has long been an adjunct in official medicine, and in folk medicine it can be the main one.<\/p>\n

The relatively rapid increase in availability and the perfect flavor combination with sugar, which also became available, made tea a popular warm drink.\u00a0In the second half of the 20th century, the development of medicine made it possible to take a closer look at its properties and their effect on the human body.\u00a0The development of communications in our time makes it possible to gain access to a large amount of information about tea.\u00a0We try to keep track of everything new and study well forgotten old, and we will be happy to share this with you.<\/p>\n

The most understandable today is the effect on the human body of caffeine in general, and contained in tea in particular.\u00a0We wrote about this here, add that an average cup of tea contains 25-100 mg of caffeine, while a cup of coffee contains 80-200 mg.\u00a0Tea is preferred for those with caffeine problems.\u00a0Naturally, we are talking about well and tasty brewed drinks, and not about a watery substance in either case.<\/p>\n

The big advantage of tea is the absence of the theobromine effect inherent in coffee, when the 25 minutes of vigor caused by the drink is replaced by a state of \u201cbelow average\u201d within an hour. Therefore, tea is suitable for cases when vigor and concentration are needed for several hours.<\/p>\n

Before talking about other aspects of the effect of tea on the human body, a brief hierarchical reference on the substances that will be discussed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Polyphenols are chemical compounds found in vegetables, fruits, drinks, spices, herbs, grains, and nuts.\u00a0The highest content of them is in black currants, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, apples, grapes, tea, coffee, cocoa, hazelnuts, dark chocolate, red wine, natural apple and pomegranate juices.<\/li>\n
  2. Flavonoids are the largest class found in polyphenols.<\/li>\n
  3. Flavanols are a large group in flavanoids.<\/li>\n
  4. Catechins are the main family in flavanols.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Polyphenols are very complex and varied in structure, their metabolic fate and detailed effects on the body are difficult to trace.\u00a0The general usefulness of them is beyond doubt, however, for example, in the United States, labeling of polyphenolic extracts as antioxidant is prohibited.<\/p>\n

    With catechins, as with simpler substances, it turned out to be easier to determine their properties, to obtain and interpret the results, although here medicine and science are at the beginning. So, in fact, tea turned out to be in the center of attention \u2013 if by the content of polyphenols it is in the middle of the list of nominees, then by the content of catechins it is an absolute champion.<\/p>\n

    Dry tea extract can consist of 30-40% catechins, and in a ready-to-drink form, the situation is as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n
