People who smoke for a long time and insist on drinking tea, what happens to their bodies afterwards? The doctor gave the answer
Tobacco, alcohol, and tea are necessities in most people's daily lives. As we all know, smoking and drinking will have certain adverse effects on their health, and drinking tea is a very healthy way of health. Most people who like smoking and drinking usually cannot do without the company of tea.
Tea is also called panacea. In the opinion of many people, drinking tea can help detoxify and naturally reduce the poison of smoking to the body. Is it really? Do people who smoke for a long time but insist on drinking tea really have better physical fitness? Let's talk about this topic today.
People who smoke for a long time but insist on drinking tea have better physical fitness than ordinary people? Doctors tell the truth.
As we all know, the harm of smoking to the human body will not only damage the respiratory system, but also cause certain poisoning to other organs and tissues of the body. In addition, the second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke environment produced by smoking will also affect the health of people around.
Because cigarettes contain nicotine, nicotine is addictive, so for long-term smokers, quitting smoking is a difficult thing. In order to reduce the harm of smoking to the body, many people drink tea to reduce it. Does it really work?
Chen Zongmao, editor-in-chief of the famous tea book "Chinese Tea Classics", clearly stated that tea can really alleviate and eliminate smoke poisoning of smokers. It can be seen that drinking more tea can indeed relieve smog poisoning, rather than fabricating rumors. The main principles are as follows:
1. Tea can normalize the increase in blood pressure caused by smoking.
After the human body smokes, nicotine will quickly play a role, greatly increasing the secretion of hormones that constrict human blood vessels. Increased secretion of this hormone can affect blood circulation in the body, resulting in reduced oxygen supply and ultimately increased blood pressure.
In this case, drink more tea, the catechin in the tea will relax the blood vessel wall, and the blood pressure will drop from the state of rapid rise.
2. Drinking tea can supplement the reduction of vitamin C in the body.
Smoking will lead to a rapid decline in the vitamin C content of the human body, and insufficient vitamin C content in the human body can easily induce various diseases. According to the survey, the vitamin C content of each cigarette can be reduced by 25 mg, and the vitamin C content of a whole pack of cigarettes per day will be directly reduced by 25%, accounting for 1/4 of the total content.
Especially green tea is rich in vitamin C, which can be as high as 0.5%, so people who smoke often can drink green tea to supplement the lost vitamin C.
3. Certain substances in tea can inhibit cancer.
As we all know, smoking can lead to various cancers such as lung cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, and throat cancer, and is very harmful to smokers and second-hand smokers.
The tea extract has a certain inhibitory effect on some carcinogens such as benzopyrene and aflatoxin, can inhibit the induced distortion of smoke extract, and prevent the occurrence and development of cancer to a certain extent.
To sum up, although drinking tea can indeed reduce the harm of smoking to the human body to a certain extent, it does not mean that it can be completely prevented. The healthier, most direct and most effective way is to quit smoking directly. If you really can't quit smoking, you can relieve it by drinking more tea.
If you want to reduce the harm of smoking to the human body, what should you do?
1. Drink enough water before smoking.
Water is tar's natural nemesis. Water can excrete harmful substances produced during smoking through the urethra. When the body's water balance is out of balance, organs such as the heart and lungs, spleen, liver, and kidneys will not be able to perform their normal functions. Therefore, old smokers should smoke while maintaining the body's water balance, and develop the habit of drinking water first and then smoking.
2. Newly opened packs of cigarettes should be put away before smoking.
Don't smoke the newly bought cigarettes when you just open the cigarette case, just like you can't move in the newly renovated house immediately, because various chemical additives will be added to the cigarettes during the production process. At this time, a large amount of harmful substances are accumulated in the cigarette case, and there must be a sufficient release process. It is recommended to volatilize for three minutes after opening the cigarette case.
3. One cigarette should be smoked at one time.
In order to smoke less, some old smokers will divide a cigarette into several puffs, and then take another puff. When extinguished, carbonized smoke will be formed. The carbonized part has accumulated more tar and harmful substances. When they are lit again, they need to pay several times the smoking power to bring more harmful substances into the body. Therefore, do not smoke.
4. Food neutralization method.
Regular consumption of fish will greatly reduce the risk of chronic lung diseases; the vitamin C consumption of smokers is 30-40% higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, they should eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as mustard greens, tomatoes, potatoes, green peppers and citrus fruits.
If you cannot quit smoking, it is best not to smoke during these three periods.
1. After waking up in the morning
When I first woke up in the morning, there was a lot of CO2 in the room and the air wasn't circulating well. If you smoke at this time, the turbid air will be inhaled into the lungs again, and you will be prone to dizziness, chest tightness and other discomfort symptoms. It is recommended that you do not smoke in the bedroom to reduce the harm of second-hand smoke.
2. After eating
After a meal, the blood circulation of the human body is accelerated and the pores are opened. At this time, smoking will bring more harmful substances to the human body, affecting normal digestion and absorption. In addition, smoking immediately after a meal will also reduce the secretion of pancreatic protease, which will affect the health of the digestive system.
3. When staying up late
When staying up late at night, the secretion of adrenaline in the human body will increase. Smoking late at night will increase blood pressure, accelerate heart rate, and endanger cardiovascular diseases. People who stay up late often sit for a long time. Less exercise, blood circulation is very slow, smoking will increase blood viscosity, if you have chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, smoking late at night can also induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
