Black tea makes dark eye rims fade
Right! Black tea with its ingredients can help reduce the swelling of swollen eyes and eye bags. The tea can also make dark eye rims disappear. This is achieved by the tanning agents contained in the tea, the so-called tannins. These have an antibacterial and soothing effect on the skin. For this purpose, the tea should be natural, i.e. without additional aromas. Tea bags can be used. The tea can also be taken loose. It is important to soak the tea bag/tea in cold water for one hour. Afterwards the bag cools down additionally on the skin. If you use loose tea, you should put the tea leaves in a small linen cloth and then place it on the skin. The dwell time on the skin should be at least 20 minutes. Those who do this procedure with green tea will achieve faster results. This is because green tea is not fermented compared to black tea.
Black tea is good for the teeth
Right! In addition to vitamin from the B group, tea contains potassium, manganese and fluoride. Our teeth need fluorine to stay healthy. Anyone who drinks black tea every day can stain their teeth brownish if they do not take sufficient care of their teeth. This is certainly not in the sense of an ideal of beauty.
Black tea is good for the gums
Right! But only if it is drunk without sugar. Because it has a slight antibacterial effect.
Black tea lowers the cholesterol level
Right! This is what the Chinese want to find out in a large-scale study. However, scientists in the Far East speak of higher doses.
Black tea is just as stimulating as coffee
Wrong! A cup of coffee has much, much more caffeine than a cup of black tea. Because for one cup of coffee you need 5 grams of powder and for one cup of tea only one or two grams of tea. So coffee contains two to three times more caffeine than tea. In addition, the caffeine in tea is absorbed more slowly by the body. If the tea is steeped for a longer period of time, more tannins are released from the leaves, which form a chemical compound with the caffeine, which is then absorbed even more slowly by the body. Conclusion: the body also absorbs the low-dose caffeine in tea hesitantly and more slowly. It is comparable to drinking a cup of coffee with only half the amount of coffee powder. Well, then it will probably not taste good anymore.
Black tea is diuretic
Right! In general, all tea is diuretic. It depends on the amount. A cup is not diuretic for most people. Five cups and more are. If you only take tea and rusk because of a stomach upset, you should take countermeasures to prevent your body from losing too much water and becoming slightly dehydrated. In addition to tea, still water can also be drunk in appropriate quantities.
Myths about green tea
The most important ingredient is caffeine (formerly theine, tein, theine). Depending on the type of green tea, the amount of caffeine varies.
Green tea is not drunk as frequently in Germany as black tea. Out of 100 tea drinkers - black and green - about 60 drink black tea and the rest drink green tea. For more information about the consumption of tea, see Myths about black tea.
Green tea differs from black tea in that the leaves (leaves of Camellia sinensis) are not blended. Another difference is in the preparation, taste, ingredients and effects. The main ingredient is caffeine (formerly known as teein or theine) which can vary greatly from one type of green tea to another. Most of the caffeine is found in the Japanese tea varieties Gyokuro and Sencha. The least caffeine is found in Kukicha and Bancha varieties. Other ingredients are epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin and epigallocatechin gallate. The effective health substances are the catechins, which also cause the bitter taste. The taste of the tea depends on the concentration of amino acids. The higher the concentration, the better the taste. Shade the tea more often in spring and the proportion of amino acids increases.
Other ingredients are vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin B2, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphoric acid, copper, zinc, nickel, carotenes and fluoride. Green tea also contains more tanning agents (tannins) than black tea.
For nervous stomach and intestines, green tea has a calming effect, but for the sluggish intestines it has a constipating effect.
Green tea is good for the cardiovascular system
Right! The Japanese have found this out in an eleven-year study with over 40 thousand adults aged between 40 and 79 years. Known as the Ohsaki Study. However, the condition is that at least five cups of tea must be drunk each day. The result: the death rate was 12 percent lower in men and 23 percent lower in women. For cardiovascular diseases, the death rate was 22 percent lower for men and 31 percent lower for women.
Green tea protects against cancer
NO! It has not been scientifically proven that the natural brew protects against cancer. But: In the peoples where green tea is drunk more often, the rate of cancer was significantly lower than in the rest of the world where this tea consumption was neglected. Scientists blame the polyphenols (especially epigallocatechin gallate) for this.

Green tea can protect against diabetic nephropathy
Right! This kidney disease is caused by diabetes mellitus and in extreme cases can lead to kidney failure. The polyphenols contained in the tea intercept free radicals in the body and thus protect the kidneys.
Green tea enhances the effect of antibiotics
Right! Scientists in Egypt have found out that СКАЧАТЬ
