"Do you know, Lao Li, your cough may not be just about decoration." Doctor Liu said solemnly.
When Lao Li heard this, he chuckled in his heart. He just retired this year, and some time ago he was busy redecorating his home, and he has been using latex paint when painting the walls.
Since then, the cough hasn't stopped. He thought it was just a problem with the decoration materials, and it took a long time before he decided to come to the hospital to have a look. This look startled him.
Lao Li was originally a bank clerk with a calm personality and meticulous work. This time, he couldn't help but get nervous when he heard the doctor say that the cough problem might not be caused by the renovation. "Doctor Liu, what do you mean?" He asked cautiously.
Doctor Liu patted Lao Li's shoulder, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Then, he began to explain the results of Lao Li's examination in detail.

It turned out that Lao Li's lungs had some abnormalities, and although there was no major problem for the time being, they needed to be paid close attention. In addition, Lao Li's physical condition is not very optimistic, with high blood pressure and mild fatty liver.
These questions may seem unrelated, but Dr. Liu believes that there is a common root cause. "Lao Li, do you usually drink tea?" Dr. Liu asked suddenly. "Drink, I don't leave my tea." Lao Li replied.
"Then do you know that people with different physiques have different particularities about drinking tea? Drinking the right drink can prolong life, but drinking the wrong one can be harmful to your health and even increase the risk of cancer. ”
Lao Li's eyes widened, "Really? So what does my cough have to do with drinking tea? ”
Dr. Liu nodded and continued to explain, "Recently, studies have found that people with different physiques are suitable for drinking different types of tea. Take you as an example, you belong to the cold constitution, and drinking green tea for a long time may not be good for your health. ”
Lao Li was stunned for a moment, he always thought that drinking tea was good for health, but he didn't think that there was so much exquisiteness. "So what should I do? Do you have to change to tea? Doctor Liu smiled, "Don't worry, let me explain the truth to you in detail." ”
According to Dr. Liu, tea can be divided into six categories: green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea and dark tea according to the processing technology and degree of fermentation. Each type of tea has a different nature and is suitable for different people.
For example, green tea is cold, which is suitable for people with a hot constitution; Black tea is warm and more suitable for people with a cold constitution. Oolong tea is somewhere between green tea and black tea, and is suitable for most people. ”
Dr. Liu continued, "You usually drink most green tea, but you have a cold constitution, drinking too much green tea will aggravate the cold in your body. In the long run, it will not only cause stomach cold and diarrhea, but also affect lung health, resulting in constant coughing. ”
"However, I always thought that green tea was the healthiest." Lao Li frowned.
"Green tea does have many benefits, such as antioxidants, lowering blood lipids, etc. But that doesn't mean it's for everyone. For example, if you have a cold constitution, you are more suitable for drinking black tea. Black tea is warm, which can warm the cold in the body and help improve your current symptoms. ”
Lao Li suddenly realized that there are so many ways to drink tea. He decided to switch to black tea from today to see if his symptoms would improve.
In order to make Lao Li more convinced, Dr. Liu also cited several practical cases. A patient, Aunt Zhang, has the same cold constitution as Lao Li. She also liked to drink green tea before, but as a result, she had long-term diarrhea and stomach cold, and later switched to black tea, and her symptoms gradually improved.
There is also a patient, Uncle Wang, who has a hot constitution, but I heard that black tea is good for lowering blood lipids, so he drank too much black tea and became angry and had mouth ulcers, and later changed to drink green tea, and his physical condition improved significantly.
After listening to this, Lao Li deeply felt that he had neglected the details of his health before. He decided to start paying attention to his eating habits from today, especially the type of tea he drinks.
Next, Dr. Liu explained in detail the efficacy of various teas and the suitable people.
The first is green tea. Green tea is unfermented and retains a large number of natural substances, which have strong antioxidant, anti-cancer, lipid-lowering and weight loss effects. It is suitable for people who are hot and prone to fire. But for a cold constitution like Lao Li, it is not advisable to drink more.
Then there's black tea. Black tea is completely fermented, mild in nature, and has the effects of warming the stomach, aiding digestion, and refreshing. It is especially suitable for people with cold constitution and cold hands and feet. After Lao Li changed to drink black tea, it could help improve his cough and cold in his body.
Oolong tea is between green tea and black tea, semi-fermented in nature, with both the freshness of green tea and the mellow of black tea, which is suitable for most people. It has the effect of aiding digestion, weight loss, and lowering blood lipids. Dr. Liu suggested that Lao Li could drink black tea in winter and oolong tea in summer, which would have a better effect.
Black tea is a completely fermented tea, which is warm in nature and has the effects of lowering lipids, aiding digestion and lowering blood sugar. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and people who need to lower lipids. Dr. Liu reminded that Lao Li can drink some black tea in moderation in winter, but not too much.
Finally, Dr. Liu also mentioned white tea and yellow tea. White tea is cool, has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying and reducing fire, and is suitable for people with hot constitution and easy to get angry. Yellow tea is a lightly fermented tea with a peaceful nature, suitable for most people, helping digestion and clearing heat and detoxifying.
Dr. Liu finally concluded: "Drinking tea is a science, not only to see the type of tea, but also to choose according to your own physique. As long as you drink the right tea, you can really exert its health benefits. ”
Lao Li gratefully shook Dr. Liu's hand, "Thank you, Dr. Liu." I will definitely adjust my tea drinking habits when I go back, and strive to cure this cough as soon as possible. When Lao Li returned home, he immediately put away the green tea at home and replaced it with black tea.
From that day on, he brewed a cup of hot black tea every morning and savored it. A few days later, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his cough had significantly lessened and he felt much warmer. “
After drinking the right tea, Lao Li not only solved the long-standing cough problem, but also felt that his physical health was gradually improving.
His high blood pressure was also under control and his fatty liver improved. Lao Li sighed, this tea drinking is really a university question, and he was really careless before.
However, Lao Li's new problem has come again. He suddenly remembered that when he was drinking tea at home, his son Xiao Li often drank it with him.
Xiao Li is a programmer who spends all day in front of the computer, and usually drinks tea to refresh himself. Lao Li couldn't help but worry that his son's physique was different from his own, so did he also need to change to tea?
So, Lao Li found Dr. Liu again and raised this question. Dr. Liu explained with a smile that young people have different physiques, and generally speaking, programmers are prone to problems such as liver fire and eye fatigue, so they can drink more green tea or white tea to help clear away heat and detoxify and protect their eyesight.
After listening to this, Lao Li bought several kinds of tea leaves for his son. Xiao Li also happily accepted his father's suggestion and began to drink green tea and white tea.
Through this experience, Lao Li deeply realized the importance of health. Drinking tea is not only a habit of life, but also a knowledge related to physical health. Only by choosing the right tea according to your own physique can you really give full play to the health benefits of tea.
