The weather is scorching and the heat wave is coming, so the little friends walking on the road almost become sedentary!!!
Best of all, everything needs ice, including iced watermelons, iced beer, iced juice, and even the roads are dominated by ice cream. what! Want some tea? How about a cup of hot tea? NO！ I can only say that my friends are exhausted!
Now this day, looking at the circle of friends, I have already been brushed by cold brewing tea!!! Cold Tea Making: Refreshing and refreshing, drinking a cup of Gudong can sweep away the heat and dryness, and also provide health and nutrition. You see, the boat of friendship has played double oars.
The question is, can kidney friends follow this green and healthy cold tea brewing trend?
The so-called "cold brewing tea" refers to brewing tea with cold water, which can be said to be a traditional method of brewing tea. As long as the tea leaves are placed in mineral water and soaked for several hours, you can enjoy both delicious and healthy cold brewing tea. Making tea in cold water makes it more fragrant and sweet, bringing a unique refreshing choice to the hot summer.
Tea is rich in a variety of nutrients, such as caffeine, theophylline, tea tannins, catechins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are very beneficial to the human body, effectively delaying and preventing the formation of lipid plaques in the intima of blood vessels, reducing the viscosity of human blood, and preventing the formation of blood clots. Therefore, long-term tea drinking has a good effect on patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hyperuricemia, and other kidney diseases.
However, many kidney friends roast that drinking hot tea will cause diarrhea, abdominal distention, stomach discomfort and other reactions. That's because high-temperature brewing tea can easily release caffeine and tea tannins, which can increase gastric acid secretion. For some patients with kidney disease who have weak stomachs, drinking in large quantities can cause slight discomfort. However, brewing tea with cold water can also drink the essence of tea, reduce the release of caffeine, reduce the bitter taste of tea tannins, enhance the sweetness, and neither hurt the stomach nor affect sleep. Therefore, for our kidney friends, cold brewing tea is still a good green choice compared to beverages in the hot summer.
However, the content of potassium and phosphorus in tea is quite high. Among them, the potassium belonging to the super Longjing tea has the highest phosphorus content, with 2812 mg of potassium and 542 mg of phosphorus per 100 g of tea. This is quite surprising data. Although we can reduce the content of potassium and phosphorus by not drinking the first pass of tea or strong tea, kidney friends who need to limit potassium and phosphorus should avoid drinking tea as much as possible.
"Due to kidney damage, potassium and phosphorus cannot be removed in a timely manner. When the body accumulates too much, especially in oliguria or anuria, and dialysis is insufficient, hyperkalemia usually occurs, and hyperkalemia is often an important cause of death in patients with renal failure.". Similarly, excessive phosphorus intake can also lead to hyperphosphatemia, leading to an imbalance in the concentration of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, causing excessive parathyroid hormones to be released, which can easily lead to renal bone disease in the long run. Therefore, kidney friends should pay special attention.
To sum up, although cold brewing tea is good, it is important to pay attention to the amount of tea consumed (especially for kidney friends who need to limit the amount of water consumed, such as anuria, oliguria, edema, etc.). Although tea contains a variety of vitamins and amino acids, and cold brewing tea also has certain effects on clearing oil, relieving fatness, and reducing digestion and diuresis in hot summer days, it is not always better to drink more, nor is it suitable for all kidney friends to have a cup of cold brewing tea. Drinking tea has both advantages and disadvantages. You may as well make good use of it, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and fully enjoy the benefits and fun it brings.
