Liu Na, a senior dietitian of the Ministry of Health, reminds people that after the industrialized production of tea beverages, the contents of tea polyphenols, vitamin C, and vitamin B, which are the main nutrient components, will decrease, while refined sugars, flavors, and sorbic acid added to beverages The additive is not a nutritious ingredient.
Tea is known as a natural guardian of health because of its role in lowering blood fat, losing weight, preventing cardiovascular diseases, resisting radiation, resisting oxidation, delaying aging and aiding digestion. Liu Na said that it is best to drink tea, drink it now, brew a good tea in the best 25 minutes to finish drinking, or tea in the air oxidation too long, tea polyphenols, vitamin C, vitamin A and other nutrients The ingredients will be greatly reduced.
"If it is not limited by conditions, the most suitable drink for people is normal boiled water or freshly brewed tea. If the body has special needs, you can also drink mineral water. Pure water does not promote drinking." Liu Na said that if it is not convenient to go out, Tea makers and tea lovers can also pour tea powder into water for drinking. Their nutritional value is higher than that of tea drinks.
Any bottled beverage, no matter what its declared nutrient content is, can be seen on its label as “nutritiveâ€, “fragranceâ€, “sorbic acid†(ie, preservative) and other non-nutritive ingredients. Liu Na pointed out that if industrialized beverages are not added with the above substances, the color, texture, etc. of the products cannot be uniformly modulated. In particular, the added refined sugar contains empty calories and few nutrients. Excessive drinking causes an increase in the glycemic index. Excess calories are converted into fat accumulation in the body. This can easily lead to obesity, diabetes, and high blood lipids. Metabolic diseases such as fatty liver.
