In autumn and winter, the human body's physiological functions decline, Yang Qi weakens, and the energy and nutritional requirements are higher. Brewing a cup of warm black tea in winter can not only warm the body, but also prevent diseases.

Black tea is sweet and warm, which can nourish the human body's yang energy. 4 major benefits of drinking black tea in autumn and winter:

1. Black tea can nourish the stomach

The tea polyphenols contained in tea have astringent effects and have a certain stimulating effect on the stomach. The irritation is stronger on an empty stomach, so sometimes drinking tea on an empty stomach will cause discomfort. Black tea is made through fermentation and baking. The tea polyphenols undergo an enzymatic oxidation reaction under the action of oxidase. The content is reduced, and the irritation to the stomach is also reduced.

Not only does black tea not hurt your stomach, it can actually nourish your stomach. The oxidation products of tea polyphenols in black tea can promote human digestion. Regular drinking of black tea with sugar and milk can reduce inflammation, protect the gastric mucosa, and is also effective in treating ulcers.

However, black tea should not be drunk cold, as it will affect the effect of nourishing and warming the stomach, and may also reduce the nutritional content due to being left for too long.
