Green tea is a great choice for health and wellness, suitable for many people to drink. After analyzing their dietary habits, relevant personnel found that men who drink an average of 5 cups of green tea (150 milliliters per cup) or more per day have a much lower probability of developing prostate cancer compared to men who drink less than 1 cup of green tea per day. This shows that green tea has good anti-cancer effects. Now let me introduce it to you.
The efficacy of green tea helps men prevent prostate cancer
The catechins contained in green tea can inhibit the secretion of androgens in men, which can promote the proliferation of cancer cells and increase the risk of prostate cancer. Therefore, drinking more green tea can effectively combat cancer.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that alcohol has a pungent taste and first enters the lungs, where it is connected to the large intestine. Drinking alcohol can strengthen lung qi and promote the circulation of qi and blood. In fact, moderate alcohol consumption can promote blood circulation and have certain benefits for improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions. But drinking heavily can harm one's health. Tea has a bitter taste and belongs to the negative category. It mainly reduces alcohol content. Drinking tea after drinking alcohol will drive the alcohol content out of the kidneys. Kidney governs water, and the water is damp, which can lead to cold stagnation and symptoms such as frequent urination. Therefore, it is recommended not to drink alcohol and tea at the same time.
Alcohol is first metabolized in the liver. Under the action of oxidase, it is first oxidized to acetaldehyde, then oxidized to acetic acid, and then excreted through the kidneys and lungs, respectively. Theophylline, the main component of tea, has a diuretic effect, which can promote the undecomposed acetaldehyde to enter the kidney prematurely, and acetaldehyde has a great damage to the urinary system. Alcohol has a strong stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system.
Many people enjoy drinking tea after drinking alcohol to relieve their hangover, especially when drinking strong tea, which can cause certain harm to the kidneys. Alcohol is first metabolized in the liver. Under the action of oxidase, it is first oxidized to acetaldehyde, then oxidized to acetic acid, and then metabolized by the kidneys and lungs before being excreted from the body. Theophylline, the main component of tea, has a strong diuretic effect, which can promote the undecomposed acetaldehyde to enter the kidney prematurely. Acetaldehyde has a great damage to the urinary system, so drinking and tea are very harmful to the kidney.
From this, it can be seen that the efficacy of green tea is very significant. It not only prevents prostate cancer, but also has a good cosmetic effect. The editor reminds male friends to drink a few more cups of green tea every day.
