Clearing heat and detoxification: Many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, such as lemon, watermelon, etc., and drinking green tea can effectively relieve the feeling of dryness in summer.
Beauty and skin care: Fruit tea contains rich vitamins, which are good for enhancing the body's metabolic capacity. Drinking it with black tea can be an antioxidant. Moreover, fruit tea has always had a variety of nutrients, cough and phlegm, eyesight, beauty and skin care, and other functions.
Nourishing the intestines: Fruits are rich in cellulose. Some people with indigestion eat the pulp while drinking tea, because it can promote gastrointestinal motility, help eliminate toxins in the body, and prevent dry stools.
Relaxing: Jasmine, rose, and other soothing flowers, drinking with peaches and other fruits, can relax and relieve stress.
Enhance immunity: Vitamin C and other trace elements in fruit tea help enhance the body's immunity and enhance the body's disease resistance.
Promote digestion and regulate appetite: Organic acids (such as citric acid and malic acid) in fruit tea can stimulate gastric acid secretion and help digest greasy food. Warm fruit tea can also relieve stomach discomfort. Drinking a small amount before meals can increase appetite, and after meals can help relieve greasiness.
Replenish water and natural nutrition: The main component of fruit tea is water, which can help maintain the body's water balance after drinking. The nutrients, such as vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, etc., rich in fruits will partially dissolve in the tea soup. For example, fruits such as lemons and passion fruits are rich in vitamin C, which helps to enhance immunity; the pectin of fruits such as apples and oranges can promote intestinal health.
1. Strawberry VS Cherry: Getting angry
Red fruits and vegetables such as strawberries and cherries are easy to get angry if eaten too much, especially for those with yin deficiency and fire should eat less, let alone eat them together. Eating these two fruits together will aggravate the symptoms of getting angry.
2. Orange VS Lemon: Can cause digestive tract ulcers and perforation
Although oranges and lemons have the effect of strengthening the spleen and digestion, they should not be eaten at the same time by people with gastric ulcers and excessive gastric acid. The fruit acid of oranges and lemons is higher than that of ordinary fruits. Eating a lot will promote the secretion of gastric acid and aggravate ulcers, especially lemons, which are highly acidic and have a pH of less than 2.8. In particular, do not eat them on an empty stomach; otherwise, it is very easy to hurt the stomach and cause damage to the gastric mucosa. In severe cases, ulcerative gastric perforation may even occur. It is best not to drink kumquat lemon tea~
3. Hami melon VS banana: Causes renal failure
Whether it is juicing or fruit salad, Hami melon and banana cannot be put together, because Hami melon contains about 15% sugar and a very high potassium ion content. Bananas are also rich in potassium. According to tests, every 100 grams of bananas contains 283 to 472 mg of potassium. Therefore, when people with renal failure have oliguria, they should not eat bananas and cantaloupes, which are both high in potassium, together to avoid making things worse.
4. Almonds vs. chestnuts: cause stomach pain
Almonds and chestnuts are incompatible. Eating them together will produce substances that are harmful to the body and cause stomach pain.
5. Apples vs. radishes: prone to goiter
Eating apples and radishes together will produce substances that inhibit the action of the thyroid gland, causing goiter.
6. Sour fruits vs. sweet fruits: stomach bloating
Sour fruits should not be eaten with sweet fruits, because sour fruits will interfere with the smooth digestion of sweet fruits, delay the emptying of the stomach, and cause the fructose components of sweet fruits to contact and act with stomach acid for a long time, causing excessive fermentation and causing abdominal bloating.
1. Sugar content: Takeout "full sugar" fruit teas contain approximately 68g of sugar (14 sugar cubes), exceeding the WHO daily limit by 170%. Persistent syrup on the cup wall and undissolved crystals on the bottom are signs of artificial syrup.
2. Artificial additive disguise
Characteristics of flavored tea: A sharp aroma when sniffed cold, which disappears dramatically after brewing.
Characteristics of natural tea: A light, fruity aroma develops after cooling, and can be steeped more than three times.
3. Nutrient loss drying process
High-temperature drying of fruit: >80% loss of vitamin C.
Freeze-dried fruit tea: 95% nutrient retention, excellent rehydration (look for the FD label).
4. Ineffective dosage issues
Proclaimed "beautifying" products contain only 5% strawberry powder; a 30% fruit pulp concentration is required for biological activity.
No! Juicing loses 90% of its fiber, and the fructose is converted to free sugars. Daily fruit tea intake should be ≤300ml, paired with one serving of whole fruit.
