It's said that smoking, drinking and tea are not different. People who smoke and drink also like to have a cup of tea. There are many such people around us, especially our older generation, who started smoking and drinking in the days when they had no idea about the unhealthy effects of these things, after years of accumulating their habits, they've become old smokers and drinkers, trying to quit is futile. In fact, drinking tea also has some addictive properties.
It is a common saying that smoke, liquor and tea don't differentiate between families. Many people around us who like to smoke, drink and have a cup of tea, especially our parents, started smoking and drinking when they were young without any education about the harm of smoking and drinking.
In reality drinking tea is also addictive. Once you come into contact with tea leaves and fall in love with it, you may never leave the tea for life.
It is well known that alcohol and tobacco are very harmful to the body. Long-term smoking and drinking have very serious consequences. Only tea, which is a healthy beverage, has benefits for both physical and mental health when consumed regularly.
If cigarettes and alcohol are bad for you but tea is good for your health, why do people who smoke and drink daily like to drink tea? Can tea make up for the harm that cigarettes and alcohol cause to our bodies?
Smoking is bad for your health and drinking too much alcohol can harm your body. These two facts are clear to many people, but once you start smoking or drinking, it's hard to quit.
This is because the most important harm in the dangers of smoking and drinking on the body, which is slow and insidious addiction. Whether it's a smoke or drink, it's easy to be addicted. Some harmful substances accumulate slowly in the body, finally quantitatively turned into qualitative changes, resulting in extreme situations such as lung cancer and liver cancer.
In reality, whether it is smoking or drinking alcohol, most of the harm to the body is in cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and increased cancer risk.
The best way to prevent risks is of course to quit smoking and drinking. As long as you successfully quit smoking and drinking, combined with moderate exercise for repair, many people's bodies can recover their healthy state. If there are already changes in the body, quitting smoking and drinking must be done immediately, actively seeking medical treatment.
In reality, whether smoking or drinking alcohol, the harm to the body is slow and unnoticed, except that a lot of drunkenness can lead to acute alcohol poisoning in the short term, but many risks require 10 years, 20 years, or even longer to produce visible effects.
So many people don't really care about the harm of smoking and drinking. People are already used to addiction in daily life, yet they lack the perseverance to quit and can only seek to offset risks through other means.
Most people think of drinking tea as a way to offset the harm caused by smoking and drinking. Is this really possible?
US scientists have shown that the main beneficial components of tea, catechin, do indeed relax blood vessels, increase capacity and improve circulation, thereby lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.
In addition, some experts have found in their research on tea nutrition that tea leaves contain various nutrients required by the human body. Some of them indeed inhibit the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamine, which can be said to have a certain anti-cancer effect.
But to counteract this harm, drinking tea alone is far from enough. The toxicity of smoking and drinking is obvious, and if you smoke and drink, your body will definitely be harmed.
The health benefits of drinking tea are somewhat dependent on the individual. Some people find that it has a beneficial effect, while others do not notice much difference at all. In any case, tea can only assist in the body's cleansing process and cannot remove toxins from the body through drinking alone.
In simpler terms, to offset the toxicity of smoking and drinking with tea is plain delusion. Smoking and drinking will increase the risk of contracting cancer.
Tea is not a medicine but a beverage, cannot directly repair blood vessels and also can't cure cancer.
If you really care about your body and want to be responsible for yourself and your family, it's best to quit smoking right away. Drinking might not be that bad if you do it occasionally and in moderation, but quitting smoking altogether is a must.
At the same time, drinking tea can have a nourishing effect. But we need to pay attention to not drinking strong tea and not drink tea on an empty stomach. Choose the right tea and take the right way of drinking tea in order to make the tea bring health to you.
