As the daily temperature range widens, sneezing can be heard everywhere. It's a time when the bronchial tubes are suffering. If left untreated, inflammation and bronchial disease can easily develop. Maintaining a healthy diet is also crucial for bronchial health.
In times like these, a cup of warm tea can help. We looked into tea, which is good for the respiratory system and mind and body by preventing inflammation and other issues, based on data from the American health and medical media outlet WebMD and the lifestyle information website Real Simple.
ginger tea Gingerol, zingerone, and shogaol, the components that give ginger its spicy flavor, help prevent sore throats. They also help reduce coughs and phlegm, and soothe nausea. When drinking ginger tea, it's best to cool it to below 60 degrees Celsius.
black tea Black tea is the most common and widely consumed tea, accounting for 75% of global tea consumption. Black tea is slightly bitter and contains about 40 mg of caffeine per cup (compared to 50-100 mg per cup of coffee).
Black tea is a compound rich in antioxidants, including theaflavins and thearubigins. These antioxidants play a role in lowering cholesterol levels. Research also shows that people who drink three or more cups a day have a 21% lower risk of stroke.
Apple tea =Organic acids such as malic acid, tartaric acid, and citric acid contained in apples promote the secretion of digestive enzymes such as saliva, bile, and pancreatic juice, have antibacterial effects, and improve metabolism, thereby boosting immunity.
green tea Green tea has a more subtle flavor than black tea. One cup contains 25 mg of caffeine. Green tea is rich in antioxidants called catechins.
Catechins, a type of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), are known to have anti-cancer and heart disease-fighting properties. Studies show that drinking one cup of green tea daily can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 10%.
Platycodon grandiflorum tea The saponin component in Platycodon grandiflorum increases the amount of mucin, a mucus that moisturizes the bronchial tubes, protecting their inner lining. Because Platycodon grandiflorum's peel is rich in nutrients, it's best to eat it whole. Wash it thoroughly and eat it raw, or brew 100g of Platycodon grandiflorum in 600ml of water and drink as tea.
herbal tea Technically, herbal teas aren't teas. They're usually a blend of dried fruits, flowers, and herbs. Herbal ingredients don't contain caffeine. Avoid herbal teas that promote weight loss.
This is because they may contain dangerous laxatives. Compared to traditional teas, research on herbal tea blends is still limited. However, studies suggest that drinking three cups of hibiscus tea daily can lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. Chamomile tea also promotes sleep, and peppermint tea soothes the stomach.
Oolong tea It's similar to black tea, but it's fermented for a shorter period of time, giving it a richer flavor. One cup contains about 30 mg of caffeine. Oolong tea is also helpful for weight loss.
Oolong tea activates enzymes that break down triglycerides, which accumulate in fat cells. One study found that women who drank oolong tea burned more calories over a two-hour period than those who drank only water.

When I was young, there was an apple tree at home.
I always drank apple tea in the winter.
Even if you just leave it at home, it smells good~
I guess I should make some apple squash.
