It is mentioned in the famous novel A Dream of Red Mansions that if anyone eats too much one day, he will be advised to "stew some tea". It can be seen that the efficacy of Fuzha tea has long been known to people in the Qing Dynasty.
Fu tea is coarse grains in tea, which is suitable for conditioning the body and drinking, just like eating coarse grains when dealing with modern diseases. Poria cocos tea can promote the enzymatic hydrolysis of protein by pepsin and trypsin, improve the intestinal function and gastrointestinal function of human body, and significantly inhibit lipase activity and reduce the absorption of fat in intestinal tract. Therefore, Poria cocos tea has unique effects of promoting human metabolism and reducing lipid compounds in human body.
2. Provide various vitamins and minerals needed by human body.
There is a saying in pastoral areas that "three days without food is better than one day without tea". According to scientific verification, Fuzha tea contains a variety of water-soluble vitamins. For example, vitamins B 1, B2 and C have many benefits for human body. Fu Cha tea contains 28 minerals such as sodium, potassium, iron, copper, phosphorus and fluorine. In particular, the content of "ascomycete coronaria", known as "Golden Flower", is high, which can effectively eliminate food and supplement vitamins and minerals for people in pastoral areas where meat is the staple food.
Therefore, ethnic minorities who live in pastoral areas, plateaus, lack water and have no vegetables for a long time use mashed brick tea mixed with milk to make milk tea, and milk tea residue is used to feed large livestock. For ethnic minorities who lack fruits and vegetables, drinking Fuzhuan tea is an important source of essential minerals for their bodies.
3. Reduce blood pressure, blood sugar and cardiovascular "scavenger".
Theanine in Fuzhuan tea can inhibit the increase of blood pressure; Alkaloids and flavonoids can relax the blood vessel wall, increase the effective diameter of blood vessels, and reduce blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels; Theaflavins can soften blood vessels and effectively remove atheromatous substances from blood vessel walls, so they are called "scavengers" of cardiovascular diseases.
The unique tea polysaccharide of Poria cocos tea has insulin-like effect, which can reduce the blood sugar content in human body. Tea polyphenols and their oxidation products in Poria cocos tea can dissolve fat, promote the discharge of lipid substances, thereby reducing cholesterol in blood, thus reducing the deposition of fat on arterial wall and reducing the incidence of arterialization. It can also activate protein kinase, accelerate fat decomposition and reduce body fat content.
