Drinking "magic drinks" can significantly improve the oral problems of middle-aged and elderly people! Bye bye to periodontal disease and sourness

Red tea is a drink that is common in international and western countries. Some people drink it almost every day, but do you know it can help the body fight aging, improve immunity, maintain blood vessel health, adjust blood sugar levels, and relieve pressure. How good is it for health?

Japanese red tea expert Yumi Chitomi is a tea lecturer and tea consultant certified by the Japanese Red Tea Association. She worked as a red tea classroom project at Brooke Bond House. Later, she entered the United Lihua marketing and was responsible for Liton's promotion. Now, in addition to operating tea leaves specialty stores and red tea schools, organizing various red tea seminars, lectures and other activities, many red tea related books have also been published.

One of the most popular books, "The Self-Teaching Method of Red Tea, which is popular all over the world", mentions the amazing health effects of red tea. This article organizes the knowledge in the book and shares with you how red tea prevents oral-related diseases.

Oral health care enemy— Periodontal disease

In addition to brushing teeth, using teeth wires, mouthwash, etc. to prevent tooth decay, modern people even go to dental clinics to check teeth and clean teeth regularly, which has a much higher awareness of preventing oral diseases than before. After retiring from a tea leaf manufacturing company, Tsuki Yumi served as an editor for about two years in a magazine society. At that time, in order to write a special article about the oral care market, he visited relevant manufacturers, retailers and dental doctors and found that the most common problem among the public is not tooth decay, but "periodontic disease". A survey conducted by the Ministry of Welfare of Taiwan showed that the prevalence of periodontal disease in adults in Taiwan was as high as 80.48%, and most of them were middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 40.

Why can red tea prevent periodontal disease?

First of all, we need to understand that periodontal disease is a bacterial infection caused by plaque, which causes inflammation of the tissues (dental and trough bones) around the teeth to begin to develop, and patients will experience dental dysfunction and bleeding, which is the most severely responsible for dental dysfunction.

The reason why periodontal disease is terrible is that it has no obvious signs before it occurs. Some people even think that periodontal disease will not cause pain anyway, so they leave it alone. However, periodontal disease is actually an easy-to-prevent disease, and if it is properly cared for, it can be effectively prevented.

Yi Teng Yumi pointed out in her book that red tea can prevent periodontal disease because the "red tea polyphenols" and "fluorine" in it have antibacterial effects and can inhibit the growth of tooth decay and periodontal bacteria. Some scientific research shows that red tea is even more effective in oral health care than green tea.

Red tea can also deal with tooth acid and prevent bad breath

Many people drink fruit vinegar, lemonade, soaked water or wine. Although they are health-friendly, they will dissolve the vegetative and cause "tooth acid". Most alcoholic beverages and juices will cause tooth acid risk. If it is not for long-term use, saliva will naturally neutralize acidity, so you don't need to worry too much. As for the pH value of "tea", it is relatively high, which can neutralize oral acidity, especially milk tea, and is suitable for drinks after drinking.

Yi Teng Yumi also suggested in her book that if she cannot brush her teeth immediately after eating, she can use red tea or rinse her mouth with red tea to suppress periodontal disease bacteria, which can also effectively eliminate the strange smell in her mouth and keep her mouth fresh. However, it should be noted that "sugar-free red tea" must be used.

A cup of red tea seems simple, and it can prevent tooth decay, periodontal disease, acidity and oral anomalies in the most natural way. Isn’t it very magical?
